 h3. Installation Steps
  
# Download QuickBuild2 distribution from [http://quickbuild.pmease.com], select the latest build for project _PMEase.QuickBuild2_ and download the distribution appropriate for your operation system.
 # Unzip the downloaded file into the selected installation directory.
 # Make sure you have Sun JDK5 or JDK6 installed. For JDK5, QuickBuild requires at least JDK5 update 11. Download the appropriate JDK version from [http://java.sun.com] if needed.
  # Download QuickBuild2 distribution from [http://build.pmease.com], select the latest build for project _PMEase.QuickBuild2_ and download the distribution appropriate for your operation system.
 # Extract the downloaded file into the selected installation directory.
 # Make sure you have JDK5 or JDK6 installed. For Sun JDK5, QuickBuild requires at least update 11. Download the appropriate JDK version from [http://java.sun.com] if needed.
 # Make sure the _java_ command exists in the system path; if not, you will need to modify the file _conf/wrapper.conf_ under QuickBuild's installation directory, and point the entry _wrapper.java.command_ to path of the java command.
# For Windows platform, run _bin/server.bat_ to start the server; for other platforms, change to the _bin_ directory, and run the following command to start the server:
 {code}
 ./server.sh console
 {code}
 Monitor the console window for any error or warning messages. Don't get upset about the warning message _plugin xxxxx is not enabled as it needs to be configured_, it simply means that the plugin needs to be configured before it can be used. Refer to [plugin management|Plugin Management] for how to configure a plugin.
 *NOTE*:
 #* This will run QuickBuild in console mode. To stop the server, 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 script _service-install.bat_. After the script finishes, you will find a service named _QuickBuild Server_ 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}
 ./server.sh start
 {code}
 The daemon process can be stopped by running the command:
 {code}
 ./server.sh stop
 {code}
 #* By default, QuickBuild will run on port 8810. If this port is used by other process, you can change the port number to an unused port by editing the file _conf/node.properties_.
  # For Windows platform, run _bin/server.bat_ to start the server; for Unix platforms, run command _bin/server.sh console_ to start the server. Please note:
 #* Please make sure the user running the command has *full access rights* to QuickBuild server's installation directory.
 #* Monitor the console window for any error or warning messages. Don't get upset about the warning message _plugin xxxxx is not enabled as it needs to be configured_, it simply means that the plugin needs to be configured before it can be used. Refer to [plugin management|Plugin Management] for how to configure a plugin.
 #* This command runs QuickBuild server in console mode. Follow [this guide|Install As System Service] to install the server as system service so that it can be auto-started when the machine reboots.
 #* By default, QuickBuild server runs on port 8810. If this port is used by other process, you can change the port number to an unused port by editing the file _conf/node.properties_.
 # After the server starts up, follow the instruction in the console to open a browser window and connect to the server. Following browsers are supported:
#* Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher
 #* Firefox 1.5 or higher
  #* Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher
 #* Firefox 2.0 or higher
