Once installed, then you check the following before continuing

1. Java version is compatible, it must be 1.7.x. To check your version, do "java -version". Ensure JAVA_HOME environment variable exists and set to your JDK installation.
   For example:  export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.91.x86_64

2. Verify that Trafodion source is downloaded and un-tarred,  or cloned from github. If not, download it at this time.
3. Download, build and install additional development tools via  Additional Build Tools.
4. Maven version 3.0.5 or greater is installed and part of your path. To check your version, do "mvn --version".

Check your Next, you check that the system limits .  Some of them may need to be increased or Trafodion will not start.
The following are the recommended values:in your environment are appropriate for Apache Trafodion. If they are not, then you will need to increase the limits or Trafodion cannot start.

Build Trafodion

Start a new ssh session. Use the following commands to set up the Trafodion environmental variables.

cd <download directory>/apache-trafodion-1.3.0-incubating
export TOOLSDIR=<tools installation directory>
source ./env.sh
 

 if you do not set up TOOLSDIR before sourcing in env.sh, then tools location defaults to /opt/home/tools. You may want to edit your .bashrc or .profile file to always export TOOLSDIR.

Build using one of the following options:
