Start Scripts

The following scripts, which are referenced in the Startup and Command-Line Options articles, are also included in the Windows and ZIP distributions.
- We recommend you to manually add the
bin
directory of your BaseX directory to the PATH variable of your environment. - You can copy the start scripts to another location in your file system. After that, you should edit the scripts and assign the BaseX directory to the
MAIN
variable. - The Windows installer automatically adds the project’s
bin
directory to your path environment. - If you work with Maven, you can directly run the scripts in the basex-core/etc and basex-api/etc sub-directories of the project.
If BaseX terminates with an Out of Memory
error, you can assign more RAM via the -Xmx
flag (see below). The chosen value ensures that BaseX will also run on 32 bit JVMs.
