Read the doc. To quote from RUNNING.txt:
(1) Download and Install the Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE)
(1.1) Download the Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE),
release version 6.0 or later, from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
(1.2) Install the JRE according to the instructions included with the
release.
(1.3) Set an environment variable named JRE_HOME to the pathname of
the directory into which you installed the JRE, e.g. c:\jre6.0
or /usr/local/java/jre6.0.
NOTE: You may also use the full JDK rather than just the JRE. In this
case set your JAVA_HOME environment variable to the pathname of
the directory into which you installed the JDK, e.g. c:\jdk6.0
or /usr/local/java/jdk6.0.
