This article is part of the Getting Started Guide. It tells you how to get BaseX running.
Contents
Requirements
BaseX
Please download the latest BaseX version from our homepage.
The official releases include the BaseX JAR file, libraries and optional Start Scripts.
If you do not use the Windows version, we recommend to manually add the project’s
bin
directory to your path environment; this way, you will be able to run
BaseX from everywhere in your shell/terminal.
Java
A Runtime Environment of Java 1.6 (JRE) is needed to run BaseX. BaseX is platform independent and runs on any system that provides a Java Virtual Machine. BaseX has been tested on Windows (2000, XP, Vista, 7), Max OS X (10.x), Linux(SuSE xxx, Debian, Ubuntu) and OpenBSD (4.x).
GUI/Standalone vs. Client/Server
The standalone client and the GUI of BaseX are not synchronized with other BaseX instances. If you plan to concurrently write to the same database instances, the client/server architecture is mandatory! You may encounter unexpected behavior, and your databases might even get corrupt, if you use BaseX instances that run in different Java VMs.
BaseX GUI
The BaseX GUI is the visual interface to the features of BaseX. It can be used to create new databases, perform queries or interactively explore your XML data.
The GUI can be started as follows (get more information on all Startup Options):
- Double click on the
BaseX.jar
file. - Run one of the
basexgui
/basexgui.bat
scripts. - Execute the command:
java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseXGUI
. - On Windows: Double click on the BaseX GUI start icon.
- For Maven users: type in
mvn exec:java
in the main directory of thebasex
project.
BaseX Standalone
The BaseX Standalone interface can be used to enter database commands, or execute automated database operations and queries, on command line.
The standalone version can be started as follows (get more information on all Startup Options):
- Run one of the
basex
/basex.bat
scripts - Execute the command
java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseX
- On Windows: Double click on the BaseX start icon
BaseX Server
The BaseX Server comes into play if BaseX is to be used by more than one user (client). It handles concurrent read and write transactions, provides user management and logs all user interactions.
By default, the server listens to the port 1984
.
There are several ways of starting the server
(get more information on all Startup Options):
- Run one of the
basexserver
/basexserver.bat
scripts. - Execute the command
java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseXServer
. - On Windows: Double click on the BaseX Server start icon. This will also start the HTTP Server.
Pressing Ctrl+c
will close all connections and databases and shut down the server process.
BaseX Client
The BaseX Client interface can be used to send commands and queries to the server instance on command line.
It can be started as follows (get more information on all Startup Options):
- Run one of the
basexclient
/basexclient.bat
scripts - Execute the command
java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseXClient
- On Windows: Double click on the BaseX Client start icon
The default admin
user can be used to connect to the server:
- Username:
admin
- Password:
admin
The password should be changed with the PASSWORD
command after the first login.
Please check out our little Server Tutorial for more details.
BaseX HTTP Server
Template:Mark:
The HTTP server is required to activate the REST and WebDAV services of BaseX.
It starts an instance of the Jetty WebServer,
which listens to the port 8984
by default, and the BaseX Server,
which listens to 1984
.
The HTTP Server can be started as follows (get more information on all Startup Options):
- Run one of the
basexhttp
/basexhttp.bat
scripts - On Windows: Double click on the BaseX Server start icon
- For Maven users: type in
mvn jetty:run
in the main directory of thebasex-api
project. The BaseX server needs to be manually started if theorg.basex.local
property is set tofalse
(this is the default). Please have a look into thepom.xml
file of thebasex-api
project for more options.
Pressing Ctrl+c
will close all connections and databases and shut down the server process.
