1.2Installing the bundle

Having the prerequisites, the next step is to install the cmsWorks software. Because cmsWorks has at first practically no dependencies to the system it is installed on, in most cases deflating the installation bundle of cmsWorks will suffice.

Installation

Using Linux or similar operating system, a dedicated user account should be created which then will be used to run the cmsWorks software stack.

In any case, the archive containing the software has to be deflated into a folder (from now on called <cmsWorks-installdir>). If you created a user for it be sure to login as this user to start or modify cmsWorks and its files.

Configuring the start script

Now the start-script <cmsWorks-installdir>/run/cmsworks.sh (Linux / *ix) or <cmsWorks-installdir>/run/cmsworks.bat (Windows) has to be customized. Alter the first line to the installation destination of Java on the machine (i.e. SET JAVAHOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk_17 on Windows or JAVAHOME=/usr/java/jdk17) on *ix machines like Linux.

Now you are ready to start cmsWorks as described in chapter starting/stopping cmsWorks.
