To get a Sakai 3 development instance up and running on your cmputer quickly follow these steps:
First make sure you have all the following installed on your machine:
Git version control system
Java JDK 1.5 or newer
Maven build system
Then you can set up an instance with the following Terminal commands on a Unix/Mac:
-
Create a "sakai3" folder in your home folder:
mkdir ~/sakai3cd ~/sakai3 -
Check out the latest Nakamura code. This will create an "open-experiments" folder
git clone git://github.com/ieb/open-experiments.gitcd open-experiments/slingtests/osgikernel -
Check which stable tags are available:
git tag -
Check out and switch to the latest stable tag (0.4 in this case):
git co -b 0.4This is not required, you can also stay at bleeding edge by omitting this step. -
Open up the "slingtests/osgikernel" folder and build the kernel:
cd slingtests/osgikernelmvn clean install -
Start the kernel:
tools/clean_restart.sh -
Open a browser and type "http://localhost:8080/dev" into the address bar
Done. Now you have a the latest stable kernel with latest stable UX code (from Maven repo) running on your local machine.
If you would like to do UI/UX development you will need to additionally to the following:
1 Switch to the previously created "sakai3" folder in your home folder
cd ~/sakai3
-
Check out the UX code from Github, this will create a "3akai-ux" folder:
git clone [email protected]:oszkarnagy/3akai-ux.git -
Go to the kernel's Felix console by typing the following address into the browser's address bar (preferably with an alternative browser from the one you are using from development):
"http://localhost:8080/system/console" -
Log in using "admin" for username and password
-
Select the "Configuration" tab on the top part of the console
-
Open up the "Apache Sling Filesystem Resource Provider" module`s window (towards bottom of page)
-
Enter "/dev" in Provider Root field, enter the path to the "dev" folder in you checked out UX code to "Filesystem Root" field , and click "Save"
-
Open up the "Apache Sling Filesystem Resource Provider" again
-
Enter "/devwidgets" in Provider Root field, enter the path to the "devwidgets" folder in you checked out UX code to "Filesystem Root" field , and click "Save"
Done. Now if you go to "http://localhost:8080/dev" the kernel should load the files from your local machine, from the paths you`ve specified earlier.
You should be able to start modifying files and see changes in browser.
