Installation instructions

Prerequisits

• Java Development Kit 1.8.x or above Download

Installation of Grails

Installation with SDKMAN

• Unix based systems can also use SDKMAN instead of the manual installation.

Manual Installation

• Download Grails 3.0.3 on Grails download site

• Set the GRAILS_HOME environment variable to the location where you extracted the zip

  • On Unix/Linux based systems this is typically a matter of adding something like the following export GRAILS_HOME=/path/to/grails to your profile
  • On Windows this is typically a matter of setting an environment variable under My Computer/Advanced/Environment Variables

• Then add the bin directory to your PATH variable:

  • On Unix/Linux based systems this can be done by adding export PATH="$PATH:$GRAILS_HOME/bin" to your profile
  • On Windows this is done by modifying the Path environment variable under My Computer/Advanced/Environment Variables

• If Grails is working correctly you should now be able to type grails -version in the terminal window and see output similar to this: Grails version: 3.0.3

Installation of Elasticsearch

• Download and extract Elasticsearch 1.7.4
• Override the elasticsearch configuration under config/elasticsearch.yml with the content of this file

Installation of LeMATo

• Download and extract LeMATo

Run LeMATo

• Before you start LeMATo via grails. You need to run the text search engine Elasticsearch:

  • bin/elasticsearch on Unix or
  • bin/elasticsearch.bat on Windows

• Switch to the LeMATo directory and enter grails run-app

• If everything is fine you should see something like: Grails application running at http://localhost:8080 in environment: development
