Installation using Luntbuild installer is the easiest way to install Luntbuild. We recommend to use the installer for all Luntbuild standard installations including upgrades. See installer section and upgrade section for details.

In case you need to modify for some reason Luntbuild configuration files (web.xml etc.) with attributes/values beyond the attributes/values modified by Luntbuild installer, you might choose installation using Luntbuild distribution zip file. See zip section for details.

In case you need to modify and/or extend the source code implementation of Luntbuild, you might to choose to build Luntbuild distribution from the source code. See source section for details.

If you are upgrading from previous releases, please refer to upgrade section.

Using Luntbuild installer (with GUI)

[Note]Note

This is clean installation of Luntbuild. For upgrades from previous versions of Luntbuild please refer to upgrade section.

  1. Make sure you have jdk1.4 or jdk1.5 installed, and add the directory which contains the java and jar executable into your system path - IMPORTANT!. Go to http://java.sun.com for JDK download, if you didn't install it yet.

  2. Make sure you get one of Luntbuild supported servlet containers or application servers installed (Servlet2.3 and JSP1.2 support are required), and make sure it has been stopped. Alternatively you can run Luntbuild in standalone mode.

  3. Download Luntbuild installer from Luntbuild Sourceforge site, or from Luntbuid Javaforge site. This file is normally named as luntbuild-xxx-installer.jar, where xxx denotes current version.

  4. Run command java -jar luntbuild-xxx-installer.jar. A GUI will display to guide you through the installation, and Luntbuild will install into the selected directory, let's say /opt/luntbuild.

  5. Deploy luntbuild.war (located in /opt/luntbuild directory) into your servlet container or application server. Note, that if you selected the deployment directory of your servlet container or application server during installation, the installer will deploy luntbuild.war for you. If you plan to run Luntbuild in standalone mode (without servlet container), just start Luntbuild as described in standalone section.

  6. Access the Luntbuild web application and you should be able to start your Luntbuild adventure, :D
