I used Windows Server 2008 R2 as my base system.
Components added:
- Git for Windows : http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list
- Apache Maven: http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi
- Java JDK/JRE: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html
Install Git for Windows, I selected the option during install to use the windows command shell for git.
Extract Apache Maven from the zip file. Add the path of the extracted files to the system path so you can call maven from anywhere. Makes life a little easier when you get to the directory inside of the clone source.
Install the JDK/JRE and add an environmental variable: JAVA_HOME and the path to the JDK. Things don't go without it.
Once you have the prerequisites done you can pull down the source from git.opendaylight.org
From a command prompt:
git clone http://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/p/controller.git
Next change directories into: controller\opendaylight\distribution\opendaylight\
mvn clean install
If your path is correct Maven should start going. This is the long part. If you read through Brent's tutorial you can see this step is long and will be a possible trip up. It is possible that something doesn't build right, this is active code being changed by many all the time.
Once built you can change directories to: target\distribution.opendaylight-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT-osgipackage\
As you can see the path is pretty long, but there is a run.bat. Call that file and you can then browse to: http://localhost:8080 , on the machine in which you just built the project.
You can login using username: admin password: admin
And there you have it.
From there it is up to you. I am still working down this journey as are lots of us. Thanks for following along.
