All platforms require a Java installation, with JDK 1.8 or more recent version.
Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable. For example:
| Platform | Command |
|---|---|
| Unix | export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_121 |
| OSX | export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8 |
| Windows | set JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121" |
Download the project source from the Releases page at [Apache Geode] (http://geode.apache.org/releases/), and unpack the source code.
Within the directory containing the unpacked source code, run the gradle build:
$ ./gradlew build
Once the build completes, the project files will be installed at geode-assembly/build/install/apache-geode. The distribution archives will be created in geode-assembly/build/distributions/.
Verify the installation by invoking the gfsh shell command to print version information:
$ ./geode-assembly/build/install/apache-geode/bin/gfsh version v1.1.0
Note: on Windows invoke the gfsh.bat script to print the version string.
