Install Java 1.7

AEM 5.6.x required Java 1.7. Verify if the machine has the right version of Java

$java -version
If Java 1.7 is not available, you can install it using the following command

sudo yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk 
Once the Java is install, configure it as a default version of Java for your instance:

sudo alternatives --config java
This will show all the version of Java on your instance, so choose Java 1.7.

Install the CQ jar file

Use the following command to install CQ Jar file:

$java -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xmx2048M -jar cq-author-4502.jar
Update the start script so it preserves the memory setting when you restart CQ next time

$vi /crx-quickstart/bin/start
Change the CQ_JVM_OPTS variable value to:

CQ_JVM_OPTS='-server -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512M'
Press ‘Esc’ and than type :wq to save the file.

Start CQ

Once the start script is updated, start the CQ server

$sudo ./start.sh
Keep an eye on the standard output while CQ is starting up. You can tail the output using:

$tail -f /crx-quickstart/logs/stdout.log
Check the error logs: /crx-quickstart/logs/error.log

It will take few minutes for CQ to come up.You can access the authoring console using http://localhost:4502/
