End-user requirements

  • Adobe Flash Player 10.0+

Server requirements

  • Java Servlet Container (Tomcat, Glassfish, or Jetty)
  • MySQL or PostgreSQL

Installation

  1. Install the following packages (Ubuntu/Debian):
  • oracle-java7-jdk
  • ant
  • tomcat7
  • git
  • junit4
  • libservlet2.5-java
  1. Download the Adobe Flex 4.5.1A SDK and extract it to a directory in your home directory, something like

~/bin/flex.

  1. Add the following lines to your .bashrc or equivalent, modified as appropriate to the path chosen in step 2:

export FLEX_HOME=~/bin/flex export JAVA_HOME=$(readlink -f /usr/bin/javac | sed "s:/bin/javac::")

Additionally, run this line in your working terminal, or open a fresh terminal to ensure the environment variable is set. 4. Clone the Weave git repository either read-only:

git clone git://github.com/WeaveTeam/Weave.git

Or, if you are a contributor:

git clone git@github.com:WeaveTeam/Weave.git 5. Enter the resulting Weave directory. 6. Edit the build.properties file. Be sure to set WEAVE_DOCROOT to some path writable by your user, and to set the various *_SWF variables to match the names of those present in your version of the Flex SDK. (The default values for the *_SWF variables are set with Flex 4.5.1A in mind.) 7. Run

ANT_OPTS='-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -Xms256M -Xmx512M' ant install

  1. Open a new file at /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost/weave.xml, ie

sudo vim /etc/tomcat7/Catalina/localhost/weave.xml

And add the following line:

<Context path="/weave" docBase="/home/user/pub/app">

Modifying docBase to match the value of WEAVE_DOCROOT. 8. Copy WeaveServices.war from the source directory into /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps. 9. Restart the tomcat service as appropriate for your distribution. For example, on Ubuntu/Debian: sudo service tomcat7 restart 10. Open your browser and enter

"http://localhost:8080/weave/weave.html" or "http://localhost:8080/weave/AdminConsole.html"

to test.

Alternatively, the 'dist' target may be used to build a zip file containing both the WeaveServices.war and the Weave ROOT folder so you can deploy it on another system.
