Folks,
-
For Linux, install Java. Suggested is the current one from
Open JDK. For Windows or Mac OS X, Java is included in the `phoebus...zip`.
-
Download the `phoebus-*.zip` for your architecture
I downloaded the nightly build from August 11, 2026 and extracted it. It contains this directory:
phoebus-4.7.4-SNAPSHOT
That surprises me, I would have thought it should be a 5.x or 6.x release?
This is the contents of that directory:

4 Dir(s) 195,588,313,088 bytes free
I don't see a JDK there, but the instructions say that Java is included in the phoebus...zip file.
Am I missing something?
I also tried downloading the latest 6.0.0 .zip file form Github. That contains the directory
product-6.0.0
That directory contains:
Directory of C:\Users\rivers\Downloads\phoebus-win-6.0.0\product-6.0.0
10/13/2026 11:55 AM <DIR> .
10/13/2026 11:54 AM <DIR> ..

10/13/2026 11:54 AM 6,060 product-6.0.0.jar

5 File(s) 13,910 bytes

That also does not contain a JDK.
Is the recommendation to install from Github and then install the JDK separately?
Thanks,
Mark
