This is the "official" clone of the Yooreeka project (originally hosted on Google Code).

1. Verify your environment

    1.1  Make sure that you've placed all distribution files under a directory
         on your filesystem, say, "C:\code\yooreeka" on a Windows OS or /code/yooreeka
         on a Linux OS. You can call that directory whatever you want.
         
    1.2  Create a new environment variable YOOREEKA_HOME with the above directory as its value
         
    1.3  Set the property yooreeka.home in the yooreeka.properties file, so that
         it points to the installation directory mentioned above. Make sure the rest 
         of the properties are consistently pointing to the appropriate locations. 
    
    1.4  Start windows command line interpreter (cmd.exe) and confirm that you 
         can run java and ant from the command line on your system. 
    
         Within a Windows command prompt, execute the following:
    
             java -version
             ant -version
    
            If you get an error see step 2. Otherwise skip to step 3.
   

2. Configure your Java and Ant environment variables

   You can skip this step, if you already have JDK and Ant configured on your system to run from command line. Assuming that java jdk is in C:\jdk1.7.0_10 and Ant is in C:\apache-ant-1.7.0 use the following commands:

    SET JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.7.0_10
    SET ANT_HOME=C:\apache-ant-1.7.0
    SET PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%ANT_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
    
    SET JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Dfile.encoding=UTF8
   

   If your JDK or Ant are installed elsewhere, please, change the above values accordingly.

   The JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS ensures that files containing UTF-8 characters will not cause the build to fail. Details about this environment variable can be found here:

   http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/platform/jvmti/jvmti.html#tooloptions

   At this point you should be able to run java and ant from command line without errors. If you've only configured environment for your current command line interpreter make sure that you perform steps 3 and 4 in the same instance of interpreter.

3. Reset your CLASSPATH environment variable

   Type the following command in your command prompt:

    SET CLASSPATH=
   

   This command empties your classpath, which is required for the rest of the process to work. In other words, we assume a clean slate for the CLASSPATH environment variable.

4. Run ant build file for the project:

   Within the same command prompt execute the following two commands:

    cd /D C:\code\yooreeka\build
    ant
   

   Ant will execute the default target from the C:\iWeb2\build\build.xml build file. It will build all source code and will prepare the 'C:\code\yooreeka\deploy' directory.

5. Start the BeanShell

   Within the same command prompt execute:

    C:\code\yooreeka\deploy\bin\bsc.bat
   

You are ready to run the examples!!!

Note: Within the BeanShell you will have command history. So, if you typed something and you would like to repeat it the command with different argument values or type something else similar to the previous command, you can use the UP / DOWN arrows to move up and down the history of the BeanShell commands, respectively.

Enjoy!
