  2. Select 7.0.0 from the Version drop-down list on the Software Downloads page.
  3. Click the Download button next to the Red Hat Fuse 7.0.0 on Karaf Installer file.

Unpacking the archive

Red Hat Fuse is packaged as a .zip file. Using a suitable archive tool, such as Zip, unpack Red Hat Fuse into a directory to which you have full access.

Warning

Do not unpack the archive file into a folder that has spaces in its path name. For example, do not unpack into C:\Documents and Settings\Greco Roman\Desktop\fusesrc.

Warning
