How to install z2 v2.1¶
How to install z2-environment¶
Installation of the z2-environment is very easy. We tested the installation on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows Vista.
Prerequisites¶
You need a properly setup JDK 6 - that's all.
A halfway modern system will do.
It is benefical to use the Eclipse IDE (Ganymed, Helios or Indigo work all fine). There's a small Eclipse plugin called "Eclipsoid" which makes it easier to develop z2 applications within Eclipse (see First steps with z2 for more details). However you can use any IDE (including vi and notepad) together with z2.
Creating a home for z2¶
This is a best practice approach (and other approaches are possible). We recommend to keep the repositories and the IDE workspace close together. This way we don't need to adjust the path settings in the z2 configuration files and they can remain relative paths.
Create a folder called z2-base inside your favorite/home/development/what-ever directory and enter it:
:dev$ mkdir z2-base :dev$ cd z2-base
Cloning the sources¶
As described in What_is_z2 the z2-base project contains several repositories.
You always start with the core repository. Create a clone from git.z2-environment.net which will checkout the "v2.1" branch automatically:
:z2-base$ git clone http://git.z2-environment.net/z2-base.core Cloning into core... :z2-base$ cd z2-base.core :z2-base.core$ git branch * v2.1
That's all you need to do in order to install the z2-environment and you can run the server right away
if you have setup JDK 6 properly.
Start the z2-environment¶
The start scripts are located inside run/bin
. On a desktop you can use the gui version called gui.sh
(resp. gui.bat
on Windows).
Otherwise you can use the terminal based version go.sh
(resp. go.bat
on Windows).

This means the z2-environment is up and running and excepting requests on localhost port 8080.
