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:

   1. Windows: navigate to your EFES folder and run the build.bat batch file; you can also run it by double clicking.

   C:\Users\myname> cd "Desktop\EFES-master\EFES"
C:\Users\myname\Desktop\EFES-master\EFES> build.bat

   1. GNU/Linux or Mac OS X: navigate to your EFES folder and run the build.sh file (sh build.sh).

   myname@-Macbook ~> cd Desktop/EFES/
myname@-Macbook ~/D/EFES> sh build.sh
   
   This script will start Jetty, a lightweight web server that is pre-configured to run all of the EFES components.

5. 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.

6. Visit http://127.0.0.1:9999/ with your web browser. You’ll see a “Welcome to EFES” page.

7. Congratulations! EFES is now all set up. You can start filling in your content.
