• On Windows:
set JAVA_HOME=<your JDK directory>
set PATH=%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;<type 4 home>\lib\hpt4jdbc.jar;
• On HP-UX, Solaris, or Linux:
export JAVA_HOME=<your JDK directory>
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:<type 4 home>/lib/hpt4jdbc.jar:
<type 4 home> is the directory where you downloaded the JDBC Type 4 driver.
