Quick Start

(installing the WAR file?  see the instructions on the Help Page)

PowerEYERunner:
  1. PRE-Requisite
    • Java JDK installed
    • not just the JRE... you need the development kit (JDK)
    • either latest version 7 or version 8

  4. Execute the run.bat or run.sh file
    • or Open a command prompt window and type: run.bat or run.sh
    • the run command takes an optional parameter to specify a different port
      • for example:   run 8181
        • will run PowerEYE on port 8181
    • the run script should automatically find your JDK but if not, you might need to set the path to your JDK manually.
      This is all you need to start PowerEYE Runner:
      "%JDK_HOME%\bin\java" -cp classes ca.bc.webarts.tools.PowerEYERunner

  5. Test it by visiting the URL http://localhost:8080/powereye

        • NOTE: the "eagle" part of the URL path

      2. or you click the cloudWithAPlus sign to add a new provider to the list;
