| ## Getting started |
| |
| ### Prerequisites |
| |
| In order to run Concierge, you need a Java JRE installed on your system. |
| |
| ### Launching Concierge |
| |
| Download the latest version of the Concierge distribution from [the project website](http://www.eclipse.org/concierge) |
| |
| |
| Start the framework from the installation directory by launching the framework jar and provide an .xargs file: |
| |
| ``` |
| java -jar framework/org.eclipse.concierge*.jar samples/default.xargs |
| ``` |
| |
| This will launch the framework and provide you with a Concierge shell. Type the `bundles` command to see the active bundles: |
| |
| ``` |
| Concierge> bundles |
| Bundles: |
| [ 0] (active) org.eclipse.concierge |
| [ 1] (active) Eclipse Concierge Shell |
| |
| ``` |
| |
| You can start an additional bundle from both a filesystem or a web URL. For example, to install the Apache Felix DS runtime, type: |
| |
| ``` |
| Concierge> install http://www.us.apache.org/dist/felix/org.apache.felix.scr-1.8.0.jar |
| ``` |
| |
| This will download and install the bundle: |
| |
| ``` |
| Concierge> bundles |
| Bundles: |
| [ 0] (active) org.eclipse.concierge |
| [ 1] (active) Eclipse Concierge Shell |
| [ 2] (installed) Apache Felix Declarative Services |
| ``` |
| |
| Start the bundle with the start command: |
| |
| ``` |
| Concierge> start 2 |
| [org.apache.felix.scr-1.8.0] started. |
| ``` |
| |
| Congratulations, you have successfuly launched your Concierge runtime. For more info on the available |
| shell commands, type `help`. To shutdown the framework type `exit`. |
