Note that Blitz will run against JINI 2.0 however any existing scripts you have will need adjusting for backward compatibility.

Brian Murphy's JINI 2.x Starter scripts and configuration

These are not strictly necessary, but they are used extensively in the examples throughout the documentation. If you do not wish to follow along with the examples, you needn't install this package. However, these scripts do make managing a JINI environment a lot easier so it's worth the trouble!

Scripts for JINI 2.1 are available from here. Scripts for JINI 2.0.x are available from the here.

Be sure to read the installation notes carefully!

Additional Packages required to compile Blitz

If you just want to run Blitz using the binary distribution you don't need any of these packages.
