Yellowfin requires that the customer has installed the following products prior to installing the Yellowfin product:

...

The server hosting the Yellowfin application MUST have Java 1.5 or higher installed on it. The Java JRE is sufficient for this purpose. Refer to the Sun web site for download and installation instructions (http://www.java.sun.comImage Removed)

Database

The database software which will contain the Yellowfin database should already be installed. Suitable jdbc drivers to enable the database to communicate with the Yellowfin application should also be installed. It is not necessary for the database server to reside on the same machine as the Yellowfin application.
