Geode is built using Download Geode source from one of two places: find a specific Apache Geode release at http://geode.apache.org/releases or use the head of the develop branch at https://github.com/apache/geode. Build instructions for each Apache Geode release are in the README.md
or BUILDING.md
file within the release. Both sets of the source code use the standard Gradle lifecycle model. To build Geode, invoke
./gradlew build
This will create the binary artifacts and run all of the tests (if for some reason you want to skip running the tests include -Dskip.tests=true
on the gradle invocation). To create a distribution, invoke one of
./gradlew distTar ./gradlew distZip
These instructions are targeted to build from the head of the develop branch. All builds require a JDK, version 1.8 or a more recent version. Set a JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the Java installation.
Make a clone of the develop branch:
git clone -b develop https://github.com/apache/geode.git
Build on Unix
Within the geode
directory, to build, run the tests, and create a distribution:
./gradlew build
The gfsh
script will be in two places. One place it can be found is in geode-assembly/build/install/apache-geode/bin
.
Alternatively, the gfsh
script is within the built binaries. To install from the distribution in geode
The distribution archives will be located in gemfire-assembly/build/distributions/
. To install, extract the archive file and add the the bin
directory directory to your path. You can start servers and examine data using the bin/gfsh
script. You can also create an exploded distributed using the install
task. This will create the distribution directories in gemfire-assembly/build/install/gemfire
.
To embed Geode in your application, add lib/gemfire-core-dependencies.jar
to your classpath.
...
.
Build on Windows
There is a gradlew.bat
script in the develop branch of the repository at https://github.com/apache/geode, so it can be used to build from source.
Within the geode
folder, to build, run the tests, and create a distribution:
gradlew.bat build
The gfsh
script will be in two places. One place it can be found is in geode-assembly\build\install\apache-geode\bin
.
Alternatively, the gfsh
script is within the built binaries. To install from the distribution in geode-assembly\build\distributions\
, extract the archive file and add the bin
folder to your path.
Running Geode
See the Geode Documentation for more complete documentation.
Note for Windows users: start gfsh
using start a locator specifying this system property:
gfsh start locator --name=locator --J=-Dgemfire.OSProcess.ENABLE_OUTPUT_REDIRECTION=true
