Installing the Binaries

Barracuda is built using Ant 1.5.1+. Here's how to install the Barracuda 2.x binaries...

  1. install your preferred JDK. Barracuda has been tested to compile under JDK 1.4, and JDK 1.5.
  2. download and install the latest release version of Ant
  3. Get the binaries for Barracuda and unpack the .zip file on your file system

To actually install the project, open a command console, cd to Barracuda/WEB-INF/bin, and type "ant" to run the default build target (currently the "install" target). Or, if you are a windows type, you can simply double click WEB-INF/bin/ant_0_install.bat.

Running the install task will copy some sample configuration files into place. You can edit these files later if needed.

Once you have run install, simply configure Tomcat to register the /Barracuda url to your Barracuda installation root. Cycle tomcat, and you should be good to go (try http://localhost:8080/Barracuda to test it out).
