Both Talend Open Studio (data integration tool) and Talend Open Profiler (Data profiling tool) are based on Eclipse RCP. Therefore their installation procedure is identical.
To use Talend Open Studio properly, you first need to install the following programs.
On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, the GDI is already installed. However, on Windows 2000, this installation is required. The GDI can be downloaded from Microsoft website. For further information, visit Eclipse’s FAQ.
On some Linux distributions, the xulrunner package is required for the Welcome page to display properly.
Get the archive file from the download section of Talend website. Once the download is complete, extract the archive files on your hard drive.
If you want to tune the memory allocation for your JVM, you only need to edit the .ini file corresponding to your executable file. For example:
The default values are:
-vmargs -Xms40m -Xmx500m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m
If you only have 512Mo of memory on your computer, you can specify the memory allocation as following:
-vmargs -Xms40m -Xmx256m -XX:MaxPermSize=64m, for example.
