Deploying Fedora4

In OSX or Windows you can simply double-click the fcrepo-webapp-4.0.0-beta-03-auth.war file to launch the Fedora 4 console. Then click Start and wait for the application to load in your browser.

You can also run the application from the command line using the following command:

java -jar fcrepo-webapp-4.0.0-beta-03-jetty-console.war --headless

Note: The location where Fedora writes to disk can be specified with the following flag:

java -Dfcrepo.home=/path/fedora/data -jar fcrepo-webapp-4.0.0-beta-03-jetty-console.war --headless
