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
