Adobe CQ5 Installation

Requirement during Installation of Author and Publish instance
The system requirements for installation of the CQ5 instance are:
1. Cq5 quick start jar.
2. Valid license key.
3. JDK 1.5
4. 1 GB free hard disk drive space.
5. At least 1 GB of RAM.
Products that are included in the standard installation of CQ5 author are:
CQSE i.e., servlet engine.
CRX i.e. content repository
CQ5 WCM

Steps to install the product instance.

1. Create a folder in the C: drive that will contain 3 folders. (there should be no spaces in the names, that can lead to errors)
   The author folder contains CQ jar file, License key and the quickstart folder created during installation.

1. Copy the cq jar and the license files to the author folder from a external drive.
   Change the name of the jar file to cq-author-4502.jar
   Where cq refers to the application, author refers to the WCM mode and 4502 refers to the port on which cq5 will run.

3. Copy the created author folder and paste in the same path. Rename the new folder as publish.

1. Navigate to the new folder “Publish” and rename the jar file as cq-publish-4503.jar.(you can use any other free port,preferably 4503)
