3. Setting Up Your Server to Run Java CGI Programs (The Short Form)

Get the Java CGI package from ftp://ftp.orbits.com/pub/software/java_cgi-0.5.tgz. (The version number may have changed.)
Unpack the distribution with this command:
```
gzip -dc java_cgi-0.5.tgz | tar -xvf -
```
(If the version number has changed, use the instructions from within that distribution from this point on.)
Edit the Makefile you will find in the newly created directory java_cgi-0.5 as appropriate to your system.
As root, run make install. This will compile the Java programs, apply your system-specific information and install the various files. If you want the HTML version of this documentation and an HTML test document, run make all instead.
You should be ready to go.
