GWE is a Java 1.5 based system, so you must have
Java 1.5
or higher installed in order to proceed.
Unix-based Operating Systems (Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X)
- Extract the distribution archive, i.e. gwe-0.7.3.alpha-client.zip
to the directory you wish to install GWE 0.7.3.alpha. These instructions assume you chose "/usr/local/gwe"
. The directory gwe-0.7.3.alpha
will be created from the archive.
- In a command terminal, add the GWE_HOME
environment variable, e.g. "export GWE_HOME=/usr/local/gwe/gwe-0.7.3.alpha"
.
- Add GWE_HOME/bin
environment variable to your path, e.g. "export PATH=$GWE_HOME/bin:$PATH"
.
- Make sure that JAVA_HOME
is set to the location of your JDK, e.g. "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_02"
and that "$JAVA_HOME/bin"
is in your PATH
environment variable.
Windows 2000/XP (Under Construction - Unresolved Cygwin related problems)
- Install Cygwin
in your system if it is not already installed.
- Unzip the distribution archive, i.e. gwe-0.7.3.alpha-client.zip
to the directory you wish to install GWE 0.7.3.alpha. These instructions assume you chose "C:\Program Files\GWE"
. The directory gwe-0.7.3.alpha
will be created from the archive.
- Add the GWE_HOME
environment variable by opening up the system properties (WinKey + Pause), selecting the "Advanced" tab, and the "Environment Variables" button, then adding the GWE_HOME
variable in the user variables with the value "C:\Program Files\GWE\gwe-0.7.3.alpha"
.
- In the same dialog, update/create the Path
environment variable in the user variables with the value "%GWE_HOME%;%Path%"
to make GWE available from the command line.
- In the same dialog, make sure that JAVA_HOME
exists in your user variables or in the system variables and it is set to the location of your JDK, e.g. "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02"
and that "%JAVA_HOME%\bin"
is in your Path
environment variable.
- Open a new command prompt (Winkey + R then type "cmd"
) and run "mvn --version"
to verify that it is correctly installed.
