GT3 3.2 Installation

Required Tools

Optional Tools

Installation on UNIX

There is a walkthrough with a transcript of an actual installation.

Installing Ant:

  1. Download Ant 1.5 distribution from http://jakarta.apache.org/ant. The current distribution as of this writing is 1.5.3.
  2. Unzip ant into your preferred location and set the ANT_HOME environment to point to this location.
  3. Add $ANT_HOME/bin to your PATH environment
  4. Download junit and install it into $ANT_HOME/lib.

Installing JDK 1.4.2:

  1. Follow either Sun or IBM's instructions for installing JDK 1.4.1
  2. Set JAVA_HOME to the installation directory, and put $JAVA_HOME/bin on your PATH

Installing a JDBC compliant database:

In this example, we'll use postgresql. If you're familiar with other JDBC databases like MySQL, you can adapt the instructions to use them instead. The database is used by RFT and RLS.

  1. Download Postgresql from http://www.postgresql.org/
  2. First, you need to make sure that postmaster will be started with the "-i" flag to allow TCP/IP based connections. This will be in /etc/init.d/postgresql. Secondly, if you want to allow remote hosts to connect to your DB, you will need to edit pg_hba.conf. By default, this will only allow connections from 127.0.0.1.
  3. If you install from RPMs, you can initialize the DB by simply running /etc/init.d/postgresql start
  4. We will create a new database user and create two databases after installing GT3.
