How to Run a Sample¶

Various z2-based sample system configurations have been prepared as Git repositories.

You can run these samples with very few manual steps in a local environment. This How-To describes what you need to do.

0. Pre-Requisites¶

All you need is Java Runtime Environment (JRE) of at least version 6. Preferrably, as that is easier to understand a sample, have the Eclipse IDE installed.

1. Prepare a z2-base Installation¶

Create a folder to hold the installation. We will assume that folder is called sample

In sample execute

git clone http://git.z2-environment.net/z2-base.core

Go into sample/z2-base.core/run/bin and run

./gui.sh

or

gui.bat

depending on your operating system. A simple graphical console should open up that displays the console log output of the z2 <home> and worker processes.

At the first start, the environment will download required resources, which may take a few minutes - depending on your network bandwidth. Subsequent starts will be faster.
Eventually the server should be up and you can go to the basic admin view at http://localhost:8080/adm (use z* with password z) to verify everything is cool.

2. Clone the specific sample repository¶
