| | 1 | = Get from a clean OS install up to the point where you can generate, run and use a MOLGENIS = |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | == Install Java,Tomcat,MySQL and Eclipse == |
| | 4 | MOLGENIS is known to run happily on Windows, Linux and Mac. We here assume the procedure for the windows installation; for other operating system distributions we refer to respective documentations. To get started, download and install the most recent: |
| | 5 | |
| | 6 | 1. Java 6 JDK http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/ [[BR]]Just install the most recent standard JDK with standard options. [[BR]] |
| | 7 | 1. Tomcat >=5 web server http://tomcat.apache.org/ [[BR]]Rember the root password you are asked. Don't run Tomcat as a service; we will start and stop it ourself. [[BR]] |
| | 8 | 1. Mysql >=5.1 database http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html [[BR]]During installation of the windows version you need to tick 'innodb'. Remember your root password. [[BR]] |
| | 9 | 1. Eclipse Integrated Development Environment http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ [[BR]]You need to install the J2EE version (which allows you to start/stop tomcat)[[BR]] |
| | 10 | 1. (Optional) Graphviz[[BR]]MOLGENIS autogenerates documentation for your application. This requires the GraphViz package from http://www.graphviz.org/Download.php Make sure your PATH is set to run 'dot.exe' from the commandline. In windows this is set in the control panel -> System -> Environment variables. |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | == Create a database in MySQL == |
| | 13 | Setup a MySQL database (once per MOLGENIS instance) MOLGENIS typically uses MySQL as data storage back-end although also PostgreSQL may be used. Here the procedure for MySQL is described to create a database and give MOLGENIS permission to populate it. |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | 1. Open mysql.exe as root user. Under windows in "C:\Program Files\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysql.exe - u root -p [[BR]]Type your mysql root password remembered from step 3 above! |
| | 16 | 1. Create a database 'molgenis' and give rights to the molgenis generator to change it using password 'molgenis'.[[BR]]Type: create database molgenis; grant all privileges on molgenis.* to molgenis@localhost identified by 'molgenis'; flush privileges; |
