Quickstart (Standard)

The blojsom Quickstart bundle can be downloaded from SourceForge.

After downloading the blojsom.war file, follow the installation instructions appropriate for your database and application server.

QuickrStart (for a taste)

Interested in blojsom, but don't want to commit to configuring a database? Try the QuickrStart build.

Of course, as source, you still need something of an infrastructure to use it. The prerequisites include:

• A Java SDK (v1.5+)
• ant, like make for Java
• knowledge to use them (briefly outlined below)

You can download a binary package from Sourceforge, http://bit.ly/1mgEG8

Or...

Build it from the source code:

% svn co https://blojsom.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/blojsom/branches/blojsom-3.3 blojsom

In the check out directory, execute the following ant target:

% ant quickrstart

This will produce a blojsom.war in the distro directory of your source tree.

Deploy this blojsom.war in your container specific way.

The quickrstart package uses HSQLDB in-memory and will not persist blojsom data between restarts. Login to the administration console with blojsom/blojsom, for example:

http://localhost:8080/blojsom/blog/default/?flavor=admin
