Start Scripts

The following start scripts mentioned in the Startup are also included in the official releases (download here).

@echo off

set PWD=%~dp0

REM Paths to distributed files or source directories

REM Run BaseX
java -cp "%BXPATH%" %VM% org.basex.XXX %*

Linux/Mac

#!/bin/bash

# Path to this script
PWD=`dirname $0`

# Paths to distributed files or source directories
BXPATH=basex.jar

# Options for virtual machine

# Run BaseX
java -cp "$BXPATH" $VM org.basex.XXX "$@"

Note: Please replace 'XXX' with the mode you want to start, which is either BaseXServer, BaseXGUI, or BaseX.
