By defalut, J/Link library is installed on a local computer with Mathematica. It is also possible to use J/Link on a remote computer. This means that the user can load Java objects inside the remote computer. The way to install remote J/Link is shown in this document.

Requirement

A local computer in which Mathematica and J/Link are installed is the one that opens this document. A remote computer should only have J/Link library and Java environment. It is not required for a remote computer to have Mathematica itself.
