Before you start, be sure you have your development environment set up. You need to:
<tutorial_directory>/MySQL/schema.sql
script by choosing "Open SQL Script" from the File menu.<tutorial_directory>/jetty
and run: java -jar start.jar
from the command line. If you do not have a Java Virtual Machine installed on your system you can use the JVM installed with the Denodo Platform under <DENODO_HOME>/jre/bin
.This tutorial will incrementally build a set of views in Denodo to learn the basic concepts about Data Virtualization, it is important to follow each step.
At this point, you should have already downloaded the Denodo Express installation package from your user account.
The installation package is a .zip file. After decompressing the package you will see the files shown in the image below:
To start the installation GUI:
The installer will show up.
After accepting the terms of the license, you have to select the installation directory (for example: C:/Denodo/8.0
or
/opt/denodo/8.0
).
If you already have a Denodo license file, you can select it clicking on the "Browse" button. Otherwise, you can install the license later from the Denodo Control Center
In the next step you have to select the modules to be installed. This tutorial covers every module so we suggest installing them all, but you only need Virtual DataPort to get started.
You can leave the rest of the options with their default values and complete the installation.
Once the installation is complete, you can choose to create a desktop shortcut that can be used to start the Denodo Control Center.
If you did not select any Denodo license during the installation process, you can do it from the Denodo Control Center when you first start the program. (By first clicking on the Configure button and then selecting Use a license file, a new dialog will be opened to select the license file and confirm its installation.
That's all!
Thanks for installing Denodo Express! Now it's time to start playing with Denodo.
