Installation Steps

1. 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.
2. Extract the downloaded file into the selected installation directory.

   If install build agent on Unix platforms, please make sure the GNU compatible tar command is used to extract QuickBuild tar.gz file since it contains paths longer than 100 characters.

3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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:

   ./server.sh console
   

   For Solaris platform: If quickbuild complains about missing the file libm.so.2, please just create the file libm.so.2 by doing ln -s /usr/lib/libm.so.1 /usr/lib/libm.so.2.

   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 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:

     ./server.sh start
     

     The daemon process can be stopped by running the command:

     ./server.sh stop
     

   • 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.
6. 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 7.0 or higher
   • Firefox 2.0 or higher
   • Safari 3.0 or higher
7. By default, QuickBuild uses embedded database for demonstration purpose. For production usage, please switch to other serious database following guide in data management section.
