h1. Preparing the environment

Make sure you have read the [production requirements|Petals ESB Registry Production Requirements].
Petals ESB Registry requires a JDK to be installed. At startup, and by default, it searches the *JAVA_HOME* environment variable. If it does not find it, it will try to find the *java* executable. Depending on your operating system, you may have to set the *JAVA_HOME* environment variable.
