 h3. Installation Steps
  
  # Make sure you have JDK 1.5 installed. Go to [http://java.sun.com/] for JDK 1.5 download, if you didn't install it yet.
  # Make sure you have Sun JDK5 or JDK6 installed. For JDK5, QuickBuild requires at least JDK5 update 11. Goto [http://java.sun.com] for JDK download if you do not have the required version.
 # Make sure the environment variable JAVA_HOME is defined for the user running QuickBuild server, and takes value of the JDK home directory (the directory containing bin, lib,...).
 # Download QuickBuild2 distribution from [http://quickbuild.pmease.com], select the latest build for project _PMEase.QuickBuild2_ and download proper distribution for your operation system.
 # Edit file _conf/node.properties_ and specify node address of a QuickBuild server.
 # Unzip the downloaded file into the selected installation directory.
 # For windows platform, run _bin/quickbuild.bat_ to start the agent; for other platforms, change to the _bin_ directory, and run below command to start the agent:
 {code}
 ./quickbuild.sh console
 {code}
 During startup, the agent will contact the server. If the server is down, the agent will wait until the server is up and running, and then continue its startup process.
 *NOTE*:
 #* This will run QuickBuild agent in console mode. To close the agent, just close the console window (on Windows platforms) or press _Ctrl-C_ (on platforms other than Windows).
 #* To install QuickBuild as NT service on Windows platforms, just run _service-install.bat_, then you will find a service named _QuickBuild_ in the service control panel. To uninstall the service, just run _service_uninstall.bat_.
 #* To install QuickBuild as a daemon process on non-Windows platforms, just run command:
 {code}
 ./quickbuild.sh start
 {code}
 The daemon process can be stopped by running below command:
 {code}
 ./quickbuild.sh stop
 {code}
 #* Be default, QuickBuild will run on port 8080. If this port is used by other process, you can change to use a un-used port by editing the file _conf/node.properties_.
 # After the agent starts up, check the server to see if the build grid contains the newly started agent node.
