Installation¶

System Requirements Java VM 6 or above BaasBox is compiled with Java 1.6

1. Download the latest version from the [[Downloads|Downloads]], keep in mind that until the 1.0 version will be released, BaasBox is not production-ready and therefore subject to change. For Windows Platforms on the same page you will find the start.tar.gz file.
2. Unzip the file baasbox-x.x.zip wherever you want.
3. Only for Windows Platforms: unzip the start.tar.gz file and put the extracted start.bat in the same directory
4. Type:
   • start.bat (on Windows)
   • ./start (on linux, in this case pay attention to the eXecution flag)

BaasBox will start and will create the DB directory, then it will listen on port 9000. Go to [[http://localhost:9000|http://localhost:9000]] with your preferred browser. If everything worked fine, the BaasBox logo should appear. Now you can open the Administrator Console: [[http://localhost:9000/console|http://localhost:9000/console]] For further clarifications about the console, you can read the [[Admin Console|Console]] That’s all! BaasBox is ready to go and to serve your Apps! To stop the server just halt (CTRL-C) the shell script.
