Axelor Development Kit (ADK) is an open source Java framework for business application development.

This README describes how to get started quickly and prepare the development environment for working with the sources.

• JDK 1.7
• PostgreSQL 9.x

We recommend Oracle JDK only. The OpenJDK distributed with most of the Linux distributions may work but we have tested only with the Oracle JDK 1.7.

$ export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk
$ export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Install PostgreSQL from your linux distribution’s package repositories.

For ubuntu, you can do this:

$ sudo apt-get install postgresql

Download the latest distribution package and extract the package somewhere and set following environment variables.

$ export AXELOR_HOME=/path/to/axelor-development-kit
$ export PATH=$AXELOR_HOME/bin:$PATH

or you can build from the latest source like this:

$ git clone https://github.com/axelor/axelor-development-kit.git
$ cd axelor-development-kit
$ ./gradlew installApp

$ export AXELOR_HOME=/path/to/axelor-development-kit/build/install/axelor-development-kit
$ export PATH=$AXELOR_HOME/bin:$PATH

You should have a special command `axelor' in your path now. Just try issuing following command on the terminal:

$ axelor --help

You should see output something like this:

Usage: axelor [--help] [--new <NAME>]
Run the interactive shell or create a new axelor project.

  -h, --help          show this help and exit
  -v, --version       display version information
      --new <NAME>    create a new application project

You can also execute shell commands directly like:

  axelor help
  axelor help run
  axelor clean
  axelor build
  axelor run -p 8000

See detailed documentation at http://axelor.com/docs/adk.

The command line utility can also be used in interactive mode where the utility runs in a special shell from where you can issue various commands.
