Requirements
All you need is an installation of Java 1.6 and the BaseX application. BaseX is platform-independant and should run on any platform that has a Java Virtual Machine available. BaseX has been tested on Windows (2000, XP, Vista, 7), Max OS X (10.x), Linux(SuSE xxx, Debian) and OpenBSD (4.x).
Java 1.6
A Runtime Environment of Java 1.6 (JRE) is needed to run BaseX. If you haven't installed it yet, please visit java.com.
BaseX
Download the latest BaseX version for your operating system here.
Run the Windows Installer, or download the BaseX.zip
archive, to get all project components including the start scripts. We also recommend to add the bin
directory, which contains all the start scripts, to your path environment; this way, you can run BaseX from every folder in the shell/terminal.
Starting the BaseX GUI
There are several methods for starting the GUI:
- Double click on
BaseX.jar
- Execute command:
java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseXGUI
- Starting the script
basexgui
/basexgui.bat
Note: The BaseX GUI is just working on local databases. Anyway you can set your local database path to the BaseX Server database path accessing it over the network. In this case we suggest you to avoid accessing databases concurrently with the GUI and the Server.
Starting the BaseX Server
There are several methods for starting the Server:
- Execute command:
java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseXServer
- Starting the script
basexserver
/basexserver.bat
Note: For using the databases concurrently (especially for write transactions) you have to use the BaseX Server. Please don't use any other BaseX modes with the BaseX Server databases while the Server is on.
Starting the BaseX Client
There are several methods for starting the Client:
- Execute command:
java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseXClient
- Starting the script
basexclient
/basexclient.bat
see also the advanced client/server information section.
Starting the BaseX Standalone
There are several methods for starting the Standalone mode:
- Execute command:
java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseX
- Starting the script
basex
