Template:Menu LexEVS 6.0 Installation

Introduction

This section provides requirements, instructions, and troubleshooting information for installing the LexEVS Distributed environment.

Preliminary considerations

  • Before installing the LexEVS Distributed environment you must have a LexEVS Local Runtime installed and working.
  • It is not required that you load a terminology into the Local Runtime in order to complete the installation of the Distributed environment. However, using the APIs in the Distributed environment requires that a terminology be loaded into the Local Runtime.
  • The Distributed environment has additional Prerequisite Software beyond the Local Runtime. The additional web application server does not have install steps given in this guide. The web application server can be on the same server or a different server from the Local Runtime.

Once you have completed the additional prerequisite software install, the Distributed environment install steps, and the verification test as described in this guide then you should be ready to start using the Distributed features to meet the needs of your application. Not counting prerequisite software products the installation and verification should not take more than 30 minutes.

Downloading and installing LexEVS Distributed

Step

Action

1. Download the latest version of the LexEVS Distributed WAR file from the right. You have a choice between WAR files tailored for JBoss or Apache Tomcat installations. The location you have chosen to save this on your computer will be referred to as the SAVE_DIRECTORY. Our command examples will use scratch as this directory.
Note: Access to the downloads does not require an account. If you are having trouble downloading files then you may need to disable pop-up blockers or check any firewall settings at your site.

2. Shut down your application or servlet container. This presumes that you have already installed a web server as outlined in the Prerequisite Software. The command to do the shut down will be web server specific. See the documentation for your web server for information on how to do this. There may be many alternatives.

JBoss example:

Windows:

shutdown.bat -S

Unix:

./shutdown.sh -S

If you experience Java errors then the server may already be down. | !jboss_shutdown.PNG_!
