Download a distribution package¶

Releases of Apache Rave are available for download.

Build a distribution package¶

To build your own distribution with default settings follow these steps:

• Get the source

• Build your distribution package with

  $ mvn -Pdist

Deploy the distribution¶

In the directory rave-portal/target you can find the rave--bin.tar.gz and rave--bin.zip file that contains the full Apache Tomcat 6 installation. The contents of these archives are identical. Unpack one of these archives on your server and go to the Tomcat directory in the console or command prompt.

Start Tomcat¶

Unix

$ ./bin/startup.sh

Windows

> bin\startup.bat

Visit the portal¶

Open url http://localhost:8080/portal in a browser.

Stop Tomcat¶

Unix

$ ./bin/shutdown.sh

Windows

> bin\shutdown.bat

For more Tomcat options, see the Tomcat 6.0 documentation.
