## 3 Installation

This chapter explains how to install the Jakarta Mail API TCK software.

After installing the software according to the instructions in this chapter, proceed to Chapter 4, "Setup and Configuration," for instructions on configuring your test environment.

### 3.1 Obtaining a Compatible Implementation

Each compatible implementation (CI) will provide instructions for obtaining their implementation. Eclipse Angus is a compatible implementation which may be obtained from https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.angus

### 3.2 Installing the Software

Before you can run the Jakarta Mail TCK tests, you must install and set up the following software components:

- Java SE 11+

- Apache Ant 1.10.6+

- A CI for Jakarta Mail 2.1, one example is Eclipse Angus

- Jakarta Mail TCK version 2.1

- The Jakarta Mail 2.1 Vendor Implementation (VI)

Follow these steps:

1. Install the Java SE 11+ software, if it is not already installed.
   Download and install the Java SE 11+ software from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html. Refer to the installation instructions that accompany the software for additional information.

2. Install the Jakarta Mail TCK 2.1 software.

   1. Copy or download the Jakarta Mail TCK software to your local system.
