Note: The easiest way to run Usergrid is to download our latest nightly, pre-built jar:
curl -O https://usergrid.ci.cloudbees.com/job/Usergrid%20Nightly/lastSuccessfulBuild/org.usergrid$usergrid-launcher/artifact/org.usergrid/usergrid-launcher/0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/usergrid-launcher-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
Then start Usergrid with:
cd launcher; java -jar target/usergrid-launcher-*.jar
It should pop up an admin window. Press play to spin up Usergrid; it’ll run locally on http://localhost:8080/.
You can use our admin UI on it by visiting http://apigee.github.com/usergrid-portal/?api_url=http://localhost:8080
- JDK 1.6 (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html)
- Maven (http://maven.apache.org/)
From the command line, go to the usergrid directory and type the following:
mvn clean install -DskipTests=true
If you don't want to do a full build, you can download a pre-built version of the launcher app from our Cloudbees nightlies.
Usergrid-core contains the persistence layer and shared utilities for powering the Usergrid service. The services layer is contained in usergrid-services and exposes a higher-level API that's used by the usergrid-rest web services tier.
You can run Usergrid from the command-line from the jar in the usergrid/standalone project:
cd launcher; java -jar target/usergrid-launcher-*.jar
After startup, your instance will be available on localhost, port 8080. To check it’s running properly, you can try loading our status page:
curl http://localhost:8080/status
You can also run it as a webapp in Tomcat, by deploying the ROOT.war file generated in the usergrid/rest project.
By default, the Usergrid admin portal points to our production servers at api.usergrid.com. However, by specifying an api_url argument in the query string, you can have it point to
your local instance instead. For example, you could reuse the version of the admin portal we host on github and have that point to your local cluster by opening the following URL in your browser:
http://apigee.github.com/usergrid-portal/?api_url=http://localhost:8080
The same trick would work if you used a local copy of the portal code served from your own machine or servers.
