This distribution requires an Internet connection the first time that you run it. About 200 MB will be downloaded the first time. This method of launching FlexDeploy will also download and install PostgreSQL and setup the database connection to it. If that isn't what you want to do, look at a different install guide instead. |
Step 1. Ensure Java 8 64 bit is installed on the computer.
Step 2. Extract the zip file to the desired location (referred to as "FlexDeploy Home" in this document). See example below, where zip was extracted in C:\installs\FlexDeploy folder.
Step 3. Start tomcat by running the following script. (Double click on it, or run it from a command window)
File - <FlexDeploy Home>/StartWithPostgres.bat
When you run this for first time, it will download & install PostgreSQL database, then create FlexDeploy schema in it. Here are some screen shots to show progress of first execution of StartWithPostgres.bat.
Step 4. Launch FlexDeploy in your browser. (It will take about 3-5 minutes the first time as a lot of data is loaded into the database the first time)
If you get any Java related errors, verify that you have Java 7 or 8 64 bit installed. If troubles persist, modify theTomcat Environment script setenv.bat for JAVA_HOME.
<FlexDeploy Home>/apache-tomcat-flexdeploy/bin/setenv.bat
