Unpacking the release and setting the environment

Once you have this package, go in your home directory or create a directory for it. Remember that the package will contain a first level of directory.

Unpack the file and then go into what you've just unpacked.

On GNU/Linux, make sure that all the .sh files present are executable (chmod a+x *.sh).

You then have to indicate to the OpenWFE where your Java Development Kit is located. You do this by editing the openwfe-x.x.x/base.sh file. It sets three

For example, if you have your JDK in /usr/local/j2sdk145, make sure that base.sh contains :

JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/j2sdk145

Or, you can comment (#) this line of definition if your command line environment already holds a value for JAVA_HOME. You can check this by typing

echo $JAVA_HOME

If a valid path is returned, you can comment the JAVA_HOME definition in base.sh (or set it to the echoed value).

On a windows system, you should use the command

echo %JAVA_HOME%

to determine if your environment is correct. This environment variable can be set in the 'user profile' of your system. There is for the moment (OpenWFE 1.3.2) no equivalent of base.sh for the Windows platform.
