Prepare the binary

You can either download pre-build release package or choose to build from source code.

Download Release Binary

If you choose to use pre-build package, then you don't need to build from source code. The release package can be downloaded from:

Download page

Build from Source code

If you choose to build the package from source code yourself, you can follow these steps:

1). Clone the Gearpump repository

git clone https://github.com/apache/incubator-gearpump.git

cd gearpump

2). Build package

## Please use scala 2.11
## The target package path: output/target/gearpump-2.12-0.9.0.zip
sbt clean assembly packArchiveZip

After the build, there will be a package file gearpump-2.12-0.9.0.zip generated under output/target/ folder.

NOTE: Please set JAVA_HOME environment before the build.

On linux:

export JAVA_HOME={path/to/jdk/root/path}

On Windows:

set JAVA_HOME={path/to/jdk/root/path}

NOTE: The build requires network connection. If you are behind an enterprise proxy, make sure you have set the proxy in your env before running the build commands. For windows:

set HTTP_PROXY=http://host:port
set HTTPS_PROXY= http://host:port

For Linux:

export HTTP_PROXY=http://host:port
export HTTPS_PROXY= http://host:port

Gearpump package structure

You need to flatten the .zip file to use it. On Linux, you can

unzip gearpump-2.12-0.9.0.zip

After decompression, the directory structure looks like picture 1.

Under bin/ folder, there are script files for Linux(bash script) and Windows(.bat script).

script	function
