Introduction

This page describes how to build the system.

Requirements

The minimum software requirements include:

• Java SE Development Kit 8
• Gradle 2.2.1
• git 1.9.1

Building

Build the system as follows:

1. Clone the system repository.
2. Change into the repository directory.
3. Run the build script.

For example:

git clone https://bitbucket.org/djarvis/world-politics.git discuss
cd discuss
gradle build

The Gradle build tool downloads dependent libraries automatically.

Running

Run the system as follows:

1. Launch the system using: gradle run
2. Browse to the system home page: http://localhost:8080/app/home

Menu

The menu is built when the application is run. The menu is designed so that the information inside the main menu file is a single source for the following aspects:

• The web page relationships
• The visual graph included in user documentation

The menu items are not internationalized at the moment.
