Overview
Open CASCADE Technology installation Open CASCADE Technology can be installed under Windows or Unix/Linux platforms.
Installation under Windows
Recommendation: If you have a previous version of OCCT installed on your station it should be uninstalled (Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs) before the installation of this new version of Open CASCADE Technology, otherwise certain problems may arise (conflict of system variables, paths, etc). |

Attention: For full installation Open CASCADE requires approximately 550 Mb of disk space but during the process of installation you will need 1,3Gb of free disk space.
Installation under Unix/Linux
Attention:
Attention: The installation procedure does not configure your UNIX system environment automatically. To set the necessary system environment, add the contents of $CASROOT/env.csh or env.ksh file to your shell rc file.
Possible problems: If JAVA GUI interface does not start when you run the Installation Procedure, it means that there are conflicts between:
In order to avoid these problems you must:
java -cp path_to_file_setup.jar <-Dtemp.dir=path_to_tmp_directory> run
where: path_to_file_setup.jar - is a full path to the file setup.jar downloaded from Open CASCADE website; path_to_tmp_directory - is a full path to a directory for temporary files on the target machine. Parameter -Dtemp.dir=path_to_tmp_directory is optional and can be omitted in the command line.
