Installation

1. Check you have Java 7 or 8 on your machine, and if not, download and install it from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
2. Get the EFES software: either download the ZIP from https://github.com/EpiDoc/EFES/archive/master.zip or clone from Github if you have an account already.
3. If you downloaded the ZIP file, unpack it in a directory of your choosing.
4. Open up your Command prompt/Terminal.
5. Start the EFES build process:

   1. Windows:

      1. in the search box in the Start menu type: cmd
      2. navigate to your EFES folder like so: cd "Desktop\EFES-master\EFES"
      3. type the command: build.bat
         
         

   2. GNU/Linux or Mac OS X:

      1. in the search box type: terminal
      2. navigate to your EFES folder like so: cd Desktop/EFES/
      3. run the command: sh build.sh
         
         
         This script will start Jetty, a lightweight web server that is pre-configured to run all of the EFES components.
6. In your file navigator navigate to /webapps/ROOT/content/xml/epidoc/ (create the "epidoc" folder if missing). This is where you will put your EpiDoc XML files.
   
   
   
7. Visit http://127.0.0.1:9999/ with your web browser. You’ll see a “Welcome to EFES” page.
8. Congratulations! EFES is now all set up. You can start filling in your content.

Remember to keep Jetty running on your Terminal/Command Line while working on EFES.
