Installation

The installation takes several steps. First a tool will start up to help you through the installation of the client. This program will download the client for you and keep it up to date.

For the Client and the download to work, the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is needed. If you're not sure whether or not, you have the latest version installed, or any version at all, you should download the latest version. Java is freely provided by Oracle.

Java download page (external page)

To start the client installation, you click on the "Online installation" link. The file downloaded by that (illarion_client.jnlp) is a Java-webstart file and should be run by your Java Runtime Environment.

When starting the "Illarion Client" a warning message, concerning a potential security risk may appear. This message may for now be ignored. With this warning Java wants to point out that this application will access your computer. This is necessary for the client as files need to be saved on to your machine.

Online Installation

If there should be problems during the installation or start of the client, please ask for help on the IRC chat or the forum. There's almost no problem, we can't find a solution for.

Additional Applications

Within the Illarion client, Illarion provides additional applications for you to use. These are mainly used for further development of Illarion. For more information, please ask on the IRC chat.

Solve certificate error

Upon starting the Illarion applications, a message appears saying, that the certificate the applications has been signed with cannot be verified or has not been signed by a trusted certification authority.

This error appears, because Illarion uses CAcert as the certification authority. Java, however, has not listed CAcert as a trustworthy certification authority yet.

For the Illarion certificate to be verified and the validity to be ensured, the necessary certificate must be embedded in Java.

Downloading the root certificates

First you have to download the root certificates from CAcert.

Download page of CAcert (external page)

From this page download the "Class 1 PKI-Key" and the "Class 3 PKI-Key" each in "PEM Format". Further installation is depending on your operating system.

Windows

On Windows, open Windows Control Panel and look for the entry "Java". In the window that will open, choose the "Security" tab and click on the "Certificates" button. In the new window, choose "Signer-CA" as "Certificate type" entry. Use the "Import" button to install the certificate that have been downloaded.

When you're done close all windows. With that, all certificates should get verified correctly.

Linux

On Linux it is best to use the ;keytool" from Java, to perform the installation. If Java is installed correctly, the program should be in this path.

$ keytool -keystore $/PATH/TO/CACERTS/KEYSTORE \
	-storepass changeit -import \
	-trustcacerts -v \
	-alias cacertclass1 \
	-file root.crt
$ keytool -keystore $/PATH/TO/CACERTS/KEYSTORE \
	-storepass changeit -import \
	-trustcacerts -v \
	-alias cacertclass3 \
	-file class3.crt

Usually the Keystore can be found here:

  • /usr/lib/jvm/java-$VERSION/jre/lib/security/cacerts
