Installing locally using a release package for WaveMaker web-building tools || Part-4
Installing locally using a release package
Installing a release package is the easy way to install the
Studio. WaveMaker 6.5 is distributed
as an installation EXE for Windows, a DMG disk image for Mac OS X, and as RPM
and DEB packages for Linux. You will need administrator or root access
to
install WaveMaker. You will also need
the Java command available to run the embedded Tomcat. WaveMaker 6.5.3 ships its own compiler, the same one used by eclipse
for JDK 6 compilation, but you still need a JRE to run the embedded Tomcat.
You can install the Studio on your local machine or on a remote
host on the network. If you install on a remote host, you only need to point
your browser at the remote host instead of the local host.
The installation packages for the latest stable release can be
downloaded from the WaveMaker site,
For installation packages of older releases, such as downloading
Version 6.5.x when it is no longer the latest version, visit:
The release packages are available for Windows, OS X, and Linux.
For more information about installing WaveMaker
on your platform of choice including overcoming installation issues, see the
install guide in the documentation located at
The first thing you need to do after installing a release package
is install the dependency bundle. These are files that are required to run the
Studio, but cannot be distributed with WaveMaker Studio. WaveMaker is
distributed under the Apache 2.0 license. A few libraries used by the Studio,
such as the Ace editor, are licensed under the General Public License (GPL). The Apache license is not compatible
with most GPLs. Therefore, you must download the GPL libraries separately. To
make this as simple as possible, the Studio configuration tool will help you
download a pre-packaged bundle of libraries with the correct versions needed. A
few other libraries used by WaveMaker, such as the JAR file wsdl4j used for web
services, have incompatible licenses. You will be prompted to download and
install these libraries if you perform an action that requires an additional
library.
If you experience difficulties running the Studio, the debugging
process is described in Chapter 15, Debugging. Studio is a WaveMaker
application, and the processes are quite similar as a result.
