2.5. OS X 10.4

Software Pre-requisites

The Mac OS X installation does not include some of the necessary packages. These are the Xcode Tools that have some optional Java utilities and Tomcat 5.5.x which must be installed. In addition if you are installing the GRIA Basic Application Services then Python is a pre-requisite and, optionally, if you wish to use the demo applications, ImageMagick version 6.0.x or later. The following sections describe how to install and configure these packages for Mac OS X.

Xcode Tools Installation (optional)

Insert the Mac OS X Installation Disc. A new finder window appears with the contents of the disc. Open the Xcode Tools folder and double click to install the XcodeTools.mpkg. During installation use the default options.

Tomcat installation

Download version 5.5.X  of the zip or tar.gz binary distribution.

Export the contents of the archive to the preferred directory.

Using the Terminal.app:

Edit /PathTo/apache-tomcat-5.5.X/conf/tomcat-users.xml file to add a manager role, e.g.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
   ...
   <role rolename="manager"/>
   <role username="manager" password="xxxxxx" roles="manager"/>
   ...
   </tomcat-users>

cp /PathTo/commons-io-1.4.jar /PathTo/apache-tomcat-5.5.X/server/webapps/manager/WEB-INF/lib/

/PathTo/apache-tomcat-5.5.X/bin/startup.sh

At this point refer to the GRIA documentation e.g. GRIA user guide, Deploying the Services to Tomcat.
