==Using Maven==
If you have [[Git|cloned our repositoriesrepository]] and installed Maven on your machine,
you can run the following commands from all local repository directories:
* <code>mvn compile</code>: the BaseX source files are compiled. To launch the project, type in <code>java -cp target/classes org.basex.BaseX</code>, or have a look at our [[Start Scripts]].* <code>mvn package</code>: JAR archives are created in the {{Code|target}} class directory , and a all relevant libraries are created in the {{Code|lib}} directory is created that contains all relevant libraries. This Packaging is useful if you want to use the [[Start Scripts]] contained in the {{Code|etc}} directorystart scripts.
* <code>mvn install</code>: the JAR archive is installed to the local repository, and made available to other Maven projects. This is particularly useful if you are compiling a beta version of BaseX, for which no archives exist in the repositories.
By adding the flag <code>-DskipTests</code> you can skip the JUnit tests and speed up packaging. You may as well use [[Developing with Eclipse|Eclipse and m2eclipse]] to compile the BaseX sources. There are several alternatives for starting BaseX: * type in {{Code|java -cp target/classes org.basex.BaseX}} in the {{Code|basex-core}} directory to start BaseX on the command-line mode,* type in {{Code|mvn jetty:run}} in the {{Code|basex-api}} directory to start BaseX with Jetty and the HTTP servers,* run one of the [[Start Scripts]] contained in the {{Code|etc}} directory
