Introduction
Up one level
GRIA services are distributed in war files. This guide assumes you have already downloaded and unpacked one of the GRIA packages. Inside it you will find the war file.
Once the pre-requisites have been set-up and the war file has been deployed, the web-based administration interface will guide you through the rest of the installation process.
Prerequisites
Currently, we provide documented instructions for installation on the following:
- Debian
- Fedora
- SuSE
- Ubuntu
- Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server
GRIA has also been installed on Red Hat and Mandriva with minor changes to the installation/configuration instructions (please contact GRIA support if you require assistance with these or other operating systems). However, our recommended platforms to use are Ubuntu or SuSE - these Linux distribution contains all of the prerequisites required for GRIA, are straightforward to maintain and patch, and are the platforms that this software has undergone the most testing with.
Whichever operating system you install on, the software prerequisites are:
- A servlet container, one of:
- Apache Tomcat 5.5.x or 6.x
- JBoss Application Server 4.0.2 or later
- Java SDK 1.5.x
