Install Java JDK “jdk-6u13-windows-i586-p.exe”. It installs JDK (including JRE).
Then download “Alfresco-Labs-3Stable-Full-Setup.exe” from Alfresco for Windows.
This will install application server (Tomcat), OpenOffice, Derby database.
For production, we need mysql database. For evaluating Derby built-in Java database is enough.
After installing Alfresco.exe:
Double click on alf_start.bat file. No need to edit anything in this file if (installed in default path c:\Alfresco) in doubt.
It makes Apache Tomcat application server run. It takes time to run all the commands in that bat file.
If the screen is flickering and disappearing very fast it means there is a problem in starting the given Tomcat Server.
On double click of Alf_start.bat file, it should run Tomcat and the screen should be like the one shown below:
On double click of alf_start.bat file, if it is throwing an error like JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME was not configured like the below error...
... then check the environment variables like shown below:
JAVA_HOME : [Installation
Drive]\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07
JRE_HOME : [Installation
Drive]\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07
Select Language.
