Linux glibc  \nBe aware that certain Linux distributions may be missing or don't have the correct version of glibc. If you run into that issue, review the Knowledge Article, glibc Missing From Older Linux  Distributions, on the Fortra Portal.  \nInstalling OpenJDK  \nCobalt Strike is tested with OpenJDK 17 and its launchers are compatible with a properly installed OpenJDK 17 environment.  \nLinux (Kali 2018.4, Ubuntu 18.04)  \n1. Update APT:  \nsudo apt-get update  \n2. Install OpenJDK 17 with APT:  \nsudo apt-get install openjdk-17-jdk  \n3. Make OpenJDK 17 the default:  \nsudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1 . 17 . 0-openjdk-amd64 Linux (Other)  \n1. Uninstall the current OpenJDK package(s) .  \n2. Download OpenJDK for Linux/x64 at: [https://jdk.java. net/archive/](https://jdk.java. net/archive/) .  \n3. Extract the OpenJDK binary:  \ntar zxvf openjdk-17 . 0 . 0 . 1+2 _linux-x64 _bin .tar .gz  \n4. Move the OpenJDK folder to /usr/local:  \nmv jdk-[17.0.0.1](17.0.0.1) /usr/local  \nCobalt Strike Installation Guide [www.fortra.com](www.fortra.com) page: 5  \n5. Add the following to ~/ . bashrc: JAVA_HOME=\"/usr/local/jdk-17 . 0 . 0 . 1\"PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin  \n6. Refresh your ~/ . bashrc to make the new environment variables take effect:  \nsource ~/ .bashrc  \nmacOS  \n1. Download OpenJDK for macOS/x64 at: [https://jdk.java. net/archive/](https://jdk.java. net/archive/) .  \n2. Open a Terminal and navigate to the Downloads/ folder.  \n3. Extract the archive:  \ntar zxvf openjdk-17 . 0 .2_osx-x64 _bin .tar .gz  \n4. Move the extracted archive to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ :  \nsudo mv jdk-17 . 0 .2 .jdk/ /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ The java command will use the highest Java version in /Library/Java as the default.  \nWindows ","cbCaikyEUQYyotFl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikyEUQYyotFl","pdf",369834,"English","# Before You Begin\n## System Requirements\n## Installing OpenJDK\n## Wayland Desktop-Not Supported\n# Installing Cobalt Strike\n# After You are Done\n## Next Steps","[{\"question\":\"What Java versions are required to run the Cobalt Strike client and Team Server?\",\"answer\":\"The guide requires one of Oracle Java 17 or higher, or OpenJDK 17 or higher.
