<li>Make sure you have a recent release of a

client installed and properly configured.</li>
<li>Read the ASF notes about source repositories and
<a href="http://www.apache.org/dev/version-control.html">version control</a>.
</li>
<li>At a command prompt, enter
'<span class="codefrag">svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/forrest/trunk forrest</span>'
(committers should replace <span class="codefrag">http</span> with <span class="codefrag">https</span>).</li>
<li>This will create a directory called "<span class="codefrag">forrest</span>" where the Forrest source will be stored.</li>
</ol>
<p>Whenever you want to update your Forrest source tree to the current
version, change to the top-level
"<span class="codefrag">forrest</span>" directory and invoke '<span class="codefrag">svn update</span>'.</p>
<p>To see what changes you've made, invoke '<span class="codefrag">svn status</span>'</p>
<p>SVN is really powerful. See

<div class="content">
This document applies to the current 0.7 release version.
See other instructions for the current development
<a href="http://forrest.apache.org/docs/dev/build.html">0.8-dev</a> version.
</div>
</div>
<p>
To build Forrest, change directory to '<span class="codefrag">forrest/main</span>', and
then type '<span class="codefrag">build</span>' on Windows or '<span class="codefrag">./build.sh</span>' on
Unix. (Requires Java 1.4)
If everything is successful, you should see a message similar to:
</p>
<pre class="code">
*-----------------------------------------------------------------
| Installation notice
*-----------------------------------------------------------------
| You have built the X.Y-dev version of Forrest.
| Please set the environment variable FORREST_HOME point to
| /svn/forrest
| It is recommended to add
| unix: $FORREST_HOME/bin: to your $PATH
| win: %FORREST_HOME%\bin; to your %PATH%
| Then do 'forrest -projecthelp' to list options for the 'forrest' command
| More help at http://forrest.apache.org/
*-----------------------------------------------------------------
</pre>
<p>
As the message says, you need to add the distribution's <span class="codefrag">bin/</span>
("binary") directory to your PATH variable, so the <span class="codefrag">'forrest'</span>
command is available everywhere:
</p>
<pre class="code">
[~]$ cd /path/to/svn/forrest
[/svn/forrest]$ export FORREST_HOME=`pwd`
[/svn/forrest]$ export PATH=$PATH:$FORREST_HOME/bin
</pre>
<div class="warning">
<div class="label">Warning</div>
<div class="content">
After updating the Forrest source from SVN, if there have been certain types of
updates (e.g. Java sources, supporting libraries, build system, etc.) you will
need to clean and build forrest again. Do 'cd forrest/main; build clean; build".

<h2 class="underlined_10">Run Forrest, run!</h2>
<div class="section">
<p>
Forrest is now ready to go. To view and edit the local copy of
Forrest core documentation, cd to site-author and do
'<span class="codefrag">forrest run</span>' to see
the local webapp using the bundled Jetty server. Edit something in
content/xdocs/*.xml see the immediate effect.
