===BaseX===
Download the latest BaseX version for your operating system [http://basex.org/download here].
Run the Windows Installerinstaller, or download the <code>BaseX.zip</code> archive, to get all project components including the [[Starting Script Files| start scripts]]. We highly recommend to add the <code>bin</code> directory, which contains all the start scripts, to your path environment; this way, you can run BaseX from every folder in the shell/terminal. The Windows installer is adding the scripts to the path environment automatically.
