Prerequisites – Before the BEAS-explicanto software can be installed, you must install the prerequisites software described below.

New Installation – Once the additional products are installed, you can install and configure the BEAS-explicanto software.

BEAS-explicanto requires the following products to work properly:

1. 1.Java2sdk 1.4.2_07 – you can download a version of this package from http://java.sun.com
2. 2.Jakarta ant-1.6.2 – you can download a version of this package from http://jakarta.apache.org
3. 3.Liferay 3.2.0+tomcat edition – you can download a version of this package from http://www.liferay.com/cms/servlet/HOME-INDEX
4. 4.PostgreSQL 8.0.1 – you can download a version of this package from http://www.postgresql.org
5. 5.The PostgreSQL JDBC driver pg74.215.jdbc3.jar – you can download a version of the package from http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html#jars

You must follow the steps:

1. Install java2sdk (i.e. c:/j2sdk-1.4.2_07). Set JAVA_HOME variable to root installation folder.
2. Install Jakarta ant-1.6.2 (i.e. c:/ant-1.6.2). Set ANT_HOME variable to root installation folder.
3. Set up your path to include %ANT_HOME%\bin and %JAVA_HOME%\bin.
4. Install PostgreSQL with the default options.
5. Install Liferay-3.2.0+tomcat (i.e. c:/liferay-3.2.0). Set LIFERAY_HOME variable to root installation folder.

Download the explicanto-pack project from the SVN repository. This will be the EXPLICANTO_HOME from now on.

This archive contains.

• EDS, this will be the EDS_HOME
• PORTLET, this will be PORTLET_HOME
• YAWIKI, this will be YAWIKI_HOME
• The etc folder from EDS, PORTLET and YAWIKI contains the configuration files for deploying the applications
• The build.properties file
• The build.xml file

Create two databases in PostgreSQL, ‘lportal’ and ‘explicanto’, both should be created on the same DB Server.

Create an user in PostgreSQL to use to give liferay so it can access the databases.

You must set your JAVA_HOME in the LIFERAY_HOME/bin/Catalina.bat file (i.e. SET JAVA_HOME=c:/j2sdk-1.4.2_07).

Go into the LIFERAY_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost (change the localhost with whatever host you set up for Tomcat, if you do) and make the necessary changes in the liferay.xml file (url, driver class, username, password).
