| # Apache Karaf |
| |
| [Apache Karaf](http://karaf.apache.org) is a modular OSGi server that integrates very well with Aries. Most aries subprojects can be installed into Apache Karaf using features. |

| ### Samples |
| The easiest way to use the samples is to download the source zip, navigate |
| to the appropriate 'assembly' module and run mvn install to download all |
| the released binary artifacts. Alternatively you can build the entire |
| source. |
