Get the GNRS Source code

Source for the Java-based server is contained within the MobilityFirst repository under gnrs/jserver. The MobilityFirst repository can pulled down using:

git clone https://<username>@bitbucket.org/nkiran/mobilityfirst.git

Build the Server JAR

Be sure you have Java 1.6 and Maven 2 or higher installed. On Ubuntu systems, you can do this with apt-get:

# Ubuntu 12.04
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk maven

# Ubuntu 10.04
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk maven2

Install Required External JARs

Next you have to install the external JAR dependencies. A handy Python script is provided to automate this task for you. Just run:

cd gnrs/jserver
python install-to-project-repo.py -i

When prompted, the version is "0.6" (option 2) and the artifactId is "patricia-trie" (option 1).

Once that's installed, you can compile and build the .jar file with:

mvn clean package

The first time you compile, Maven will automatically resolve and download all dependencies (be sure you have internet access). It will then compile the code and assemble the server JAR, placing the output in the target/ subdirectory.

Note: If you are building the .jar as root user, then some unit tests as part of the maven build (which assume non superuser install) may fail. If superuser install is preferred for some reason, you can bypass the tests (not recommended) as shown below:

mvn clean package -DskipTests=true
