  • J2SE 6.0 (1.6)
  • J2SE 7.0 (1.7)
  • or above

Optional Dependencies

As we stated above, Aspose.Cells for Java requires only the Java Runtime Environment, and you do not need to install any additional libraries. However, sometimes there are situations where you might need to add third-party libraries. Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) to support TIFF images. TIFF images are not supported by Java 8 and older. For TIFF support in old Java environments, Aspose.Cells for Java depends on the Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) package from Oracle. We will describe how to install JAI below.

How to Install JAI on Windows

Follow these steps to install native JAI and ImageIO on Windows:

  1. Download JAI 1.1.3. At the time of writing, only the 32-bit version of the installer is available, so if you use a JDK you need to download Jai-1_1_3-lib-windows-i586-jdk.exe and if you use a JRE you need to download Jai-1_1_3-lib-windows-i586-jre.exe.
  2. Run the installer and point it to the directory where JDK/JRE is installed.
  3. Download JAI Image I/O 1.1. At the time of writing, only the 32-bit version of the installer is available, so if you use a JDK you need to download jai_imageio-1_1-lib-windows-i586-jdk.exe and if you use a JRE you need to download jai_imageio-1_1-lib-windows-i586-jre.exe.
  4. Run the installer and point it to the directory where JDK/JRE is installed.

How to Install JAI on Linux

Follow these steps to install native JAI and ImageIO on Linux:

  1. Download JAI 1.1.3 choosing the appropriate architecture: i586 for 32-bit systems and amd64 for 64-bit ones (even if using Intel processors).
  2. Extract the file into a temporary directory.
  3. Move JAR files to the JDK/JRE lib/ext folder.
  4. Move SO files to the JDK/JRE lib/amd64 folder.
    For example, on a 64-bit Ubuntu system, steps 1-4 will look like this:
cd /tmp
wget https://download.java.net/media/jai/builds/release/1_1_3/jai-1_1_3-lib-linux-amd64.tar.gz && \
gunzip -c jai-1_1_3-lib-linux-amd64.tar.gz | tar xf - && \
mv /tmp/jai-1_1_3/lib/*.jar $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/ && \
mv /tmp/jai-1_1_3/lib/*.so $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/amd64/ && \
rm /tmp/jai-1_1_3-lib-linux-amd64.tar.gz && \
rm -r /tmp/jai-1_1_3
  1. Download JAI Image I/O 1.1, choosing the appropriate architecture: i586 for the 32-bit systems and amd64 for the 64-bit ones (even if using Intel processors).
  2. Extract the file into a temporary directory.
  3. Move JAR files to the JDK/JRE lib/ext folder.
  4. Move SO files to the JDK/JRE lib/amd64 folder.
    For example, on a 64-bit Ubuntu system, steps 5-8 will look like this:
cd /tmp
wget https://download.java.net/media/jai-imageio/builds/release/1.1/jai_imageio-1_1-lib-linux-amd64.tar.gz && \
gunzip -c jai_imageio-1_1-lib-linux-amd64.tar.gz | tar xf - && \
mv /tmp/jai_imageio-1_1/lib/*.jar $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/ && \
mv /tmp/jai_imageio-1_1/lib/*.so $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/amd64/ && \
rm /tmp/jai_imageio-1_1-lib-linux-amd64.tar.gz && \
rm -r /tmp/jai_imageio-1_1
