Framework distribution
Simply unzip the file jppf-full-x.y.z-nnnn-yyyymmdd.zip in a location of your choice.
This gives you the JPPF framework, including the sources, demos, and documentation.
JPPF Driver
Unzip the file jppf-driver-bin-x.y.z-nnnn-yyyymmdd.zip in a location where you intend to run the JPPF server from.
This zip file contains all the binaries for running the server only.
To run the driver: go to the jppf-x.y.z-driver folder and type ant run.driver.
JPPF Node
Unzip the file jppf-node-bin-x.y.z-nnnn-yyyymmdd.zip in a location where you intend to run a JPPF node on.
This zip file contains all the binaries for running a node only.
To run the node: go to the jppf-x.y.z-node folder and type ant run.node.
JPPF Node as Windows Service
The JPPF node can be run as Windows Service using the Java Service Wrapper available at http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/. The jppf-node-bin-0.23.z-nnnn-yyyymmdd.zip distribution and above are prepared for this installation. Download the Java Service Wrapper and copy the files wrapper.exe, wrapper.dll and wrapper.jar to the JPPF node install directory. Edit config/wrapper-node.conf file, check that the setting for wrapper.java.command is valid (either the PATH environment must contain a Java 5 JRE, or the installation directory must be entered here). Run the InstallNodeService.bat file to install the JPPF node service.
Configuring the JPPF node screensaver on Windows sytems
Download the jppf-x.y.z-screensaver-win32.zip file and run the JPPF@Home_Setup.exe file it contains.
Then configure it like any other screensaver.
JPPF Samples Pack
Unzip the file jppf-samples-pack-x.y.z-nnnn-yyyymmdd.zip in any location.
This zip file contains all the binaries and sources for running the sample applications.
Instructions for running, using and building the samples are accessible from the samples-pack-Readme.html located in the root installation folder.
Note: to run any of the samples, you will need to have at least one node and one driver running. Please refer to the JPPF Driver and JPPF Node sections above for help on installing and running them.
