Start Scripts

The following start scripts, which are mentioned on the Startup page, are also included in the official releases. You might need to modify the path to the BaseX directory to get them running:

Windows

@setlocal
@echo off

REM Path to this script
set PWD=%~dp0

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

REM Options for virtual machine
set VM=-Xmx1g

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
VM=-Xmx1g

# 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.
