1.2. Install on Linux (or manual install on the Mac)

Tip

On the Mac, it is strongly recommended to download and install the auto-installable .dmg file.

  1. Make sure that the Javabin/ directory is referenced in the $PATH and, at the same time, check that the Java™ runtime in the $PATH has the right version:

    ~$ java -version
    java version "1.7.0"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-b147)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0-b17, mixed mode)
  2. Unpack the XXE distribution inside any directory you want:

    $ cd
    $ tar zxvf xxe-perso-5_0_0.tar.gz
    $ ls xxe-perso-5_0_0
    addon/
    bin/
    demo/
    doc/
    ...
  3. XXE is intended to be used directly from the xxe-perso-5_0_0/ directory. That is, you can start XXE by simply executing:

    $ xxe-perso-5_0_0/bin/xxe &

    After that, you may want to add xxe-perso-5_0_0/bin/ to your $PATH.
