Manual Installation
Download the latest version from the releases page.
Unzip the file at a location where the server binaries should be placed.
It is a good idea to give the installation a dedicated (non-root) user.
Note: Before 0.0.6 there are no SysV, Upstart, systemd or other startup scripts (see issue #9). However these startup script come with the RPM and DEB packages. But are still checked into the repository and can be found there.
Change into the directory that was just unzipped and start the server by executing:
$ ./server
Or (if your Java 8 installation is at /opt/java8
and your shell is bash
):
$ JAVA_HOME=/opt/java8 ./server
Before version 0.0.4 this had to be done explicitly, which is still possible:
$ java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar
Note: If java
is not located in you local PATH, or the java
executable on you PATH is not Java 8, then you need to specific the correct location of a Java 8 installation using the environment variable JAVA_HOME
Note: In order to run the server in the background and still be able to access the OSGi console, you can use the screen
command.
