3. Installation

This document describes how to install and configure Apache ServiceMix Runtime 0.1 Karaf for both Unix and Windows' platforms.
Here you will find information about what are pre requisite software, where to download ServiceMix Karaf from and how to customize the installation to use custom ports other than the defaults.

This article contains the following sections:

...

Pre-Installation Requirements

Hardware:

  • 7 5 MB of free disk space for the Apache ServiceMix Runtime Karaf x.y binary distribution.
  • 2 3 MB of free disk space for the Apache ServiceMix Runtime Karaf x.y source or developer's distributions respectively around 3 MB for distributions or SVN checkout. The Maven build requires roughly 35 57 MB disk space and for the dependencies Maven downloads during building further 50 76 MB are required. As a lot of small files are produced, the exact space demands depend greatly on your cluster utilisation utilization ratio.

Operating Systems:

  • Windows: Windows XP SP2, Windows 2000.
  • Unix: Ubuntu Linux, Powerdog Linux, MacOS, AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, any Unix platform that supports Java.

...

  • Java Developer Kit (JDK) 1.5.x or greater (http://java.sun.com/).
  • The JAVA_HOME environment variable must be set to the directory where the JDK is installed, e.g., c:\Program Files\jdk.1.5.0_06. To accomplish that, press Windows key and Break key together, switch to "Advanced" tab and click on "Environment Variables". Here, check for the variable and, if necessary, add it.
  • Apache Maven 2.0.7 9 (http://maven.apache.org/download.html).

Starting Karaf

On Windows

From a console window, change to the installation directory and run ServiceMix Karaf. For the binary distribution, go to

...

...

and for the source distribution go to the target directory, for example:

...

...

where servicemixkaraf_install_dir is the directory in which ServiceMix Karaf was installed, e.g., c:\Program Files\apache-servicemixkaraf-runtime-x.y.

Then type:

...

Note: Working directories get created relative to the current directory. For the working directories to be created in the proper place, ServiceMix Karaf must be launched from its home/installation directory.

It will start a Karaf console, allowing you to administrate your Karaf instance.

You can launch Karaf in server mode (without terminal output):

...

On Unix

From a command shell, change to the installation directory and run ServiceMix Karaf. For the binary distribution, go to

...

and for the source distribution go to the target directory, for example:

...

...

where servicemixkaraf_install_dir is the directory in which ServiceMix Karaf was installed, e.g., /usr/local/apache-servicemix-runtimekaraf-x.y.

Then type:

...

...

Do NOT close the console or shell in which

...

Karaf was started, as that will terminate

...

Karaf (unless

...

Karaf was started with nohup).

Testing the Installation and connecting to a running Karaf

If ServiceMix Karaf is up and running without problems, the Window's console window or the Unix command shell will display something similar to the following log line:
