This document describes all aspects of the installation of Zilonis

The Zilonis binary distribution needs the JDK 1.6 to operate. You may already have it installed on your system. To build Zilonis from source you can do it using your IDE, or you can use the build.xml file avialable within the src distribution.
The list is of required software is detailed as follows:

Java Development Kit
You must download and install a Java Runtime Environment (version 1.6) or a Java Development Kit implementation for your operating system platform. A good starting point for locating Java Development Kit distributions is http://java.sun.com/j2se.
To build Zilonis, the latest production JDK is suggested.

Other Packages
Zilonis utilizes several packages from other open source projects. These packages come with the distribution in the lib directory.
They will be used by the zilonis.sh script.

For Windows
If you want to use the zilonis startup script on Windows you will need cygwin. It has been fully tested in cygwing on a windows environment.

The development IDE that has been used for the last version of Zilonis has been Eclipse. You should be able to open the zilonis distribution in eclipse, and compile and run from within it.

If you are building Zilonis from the source distribution, you can use ANT. Start installing the ANT version 1.5.4 (or later).

To configure ant, make sure that the "ant" and "ant.bat" scripts are executable, by adding the $ANT_HOME/bin directory to your PATH environment variable. You should have also configured the $JAVA_HOME environment variable pointing to the right directory (the installation directory of the JDK.

Add to the CLASSPATH environment variable the antlr.jar file available in the lib directory of the distribution.
