-On Linux hosts where you installed Replication Server with the graphical user interface or from the command line, you should now have a publication server daemon and a subscription server daemon running on your computer assuming you chose to install the publication server and subscription server components. If you installed the Replication Server RPM package, you must start the publication server and the subscription server based upon the instructions in Section [Registering a Publication Server](../../05_smr_operation/02_creating_publication/01_registering_publication_server/#registering_publication_server) for the publication server and [Registering a Subscription Server](../../05_smr_operation/03_creating_subscription/01_registering_subscription_server/#registering_subscription_server) for the subscription server.

 !!! Note
     On some Linux systems, you may have to restart the server before you can see the EPRS Replication Console choice in the application menu. If the Replication Console choice is still unavailable in the application menu, it can be started by invoking the script `XDB_HOME/bin/runRepConsole.sh`.

+EDB provides a graphical interactive installer for Windows. You can access it two ways:
 
-- Download the installer from on the [Downloads page](https://www.enterprisedb.com/software-downloads-postgres#replication-server) and invoke the installer directly. See [Installing directly](/eprs/latest/installing/windows/#installing-directly).
+- Download the graphical installer from the [Downloads page](https://www.enterprisedb.com/software-downloads-postgres#replication-server) and invoke the installer directly. See [Installing directly](/eprs/latest/installing/windows/#installing-directly).
 
-- Use Stack Builder (with PostgreSQL) or StackBuilder Plus (with EDB Postgres Advanced Server) to download the EDB installer package and invoke the installer.  See [Using Stack Builder or StackBuilder Plus](/eprs/latest/installing/windows/#using-stack-builder-or-stackbuilder-plus).

 ## Prerequisites
 
-- You must have Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.8 or later installed on the hosts where you intend to install any Replication Server component (Replication Console, publication server, or subscription server). Any Java product such as Oracle Java or OpenJDK may be used. Follow the directions for your host operating system to install the Java runtime.

Any Java product such as Oracle Java or OpenJDK may be used. Follow the directions for your host operating system to install the Java runtime environment.
 
-- Be sure the system environment variable, `JAVA_HOME`, is set to the JRE installation directory of the JRE version and bitness (32-bit or 64-bit) you wish to use with the Replication Server. The Replication Server installer for a Windows platform contains both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The `JAVA_HOME` setting determines whether the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of Replication Server is installed. (If `JAVA_HOME` is not set, then the first JRE version encountered in the Path system environment variable determines the Replication Server version to be installed.)
