On the Mac, it is strongly recommended to download and install the auto-installable .dmg
file.
Make sure that the Java™ bin/
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)
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/ ...
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.
