!2 Downloading and Installing FitNesse
|
|
It really takes very little time and effort to get FitNesse running on your machine.
|
|
1 Go to !style_code(http://fitnesse.org/FrontPage.FitNesseDevelopment.DownLoad) and click on the most recent !style_code(fitnesse.jar) file.
|
|
* If this is a brand new installation, just put it in some convenient empty directory.
|
|
* If this is an update, then copy it on top of the old fitnesse.jar in your current installation.
|
|
2 Type !style_code(java -jar fitnesse.jar)
|
|
* It will ask you to be patient as it installs or updates.
|
|
* When it's done, it will ask you to reload fitnesse. Type !style_code(java -jar fitnesse.jar) again.
|
|
* Your shell should respond with something like this:
|
|
!img http://files/images/fitnessestarted.png
|
|
3 Start up a browser and go to !style_code(http://localhost)
|
|
4 The main FitNesse screen should come up. That's it. You're ready to start using FitNesse.
|
|
|
|
!3 It didn't work!
|
|
Most likely you have another web server running. Web servers default to port 80, so if another one is running on your machine you'll have to specify another port via a CommandLineOption. Try this command:
|
|
!style_code(java -jar fitnesse.jar -p 8080)
|
|
|
|
Then point your browser to !style_code(http://localhost:8080)
|
|
|
|
Still no? Check out FitNesseWontStart for some more tips.

!2 Memory Issues.
|
|
With the 20090320 release, some operations in !-FitNesse-! take more than the default memory allocated to the JVM. This can cause tests to fail for ''out of heap space'' reasons. You can fix this by adding the !style_code(!--Xmx100M-!) JVM argument to the java command line when you start !-FitNesse-!. !style_code(!-java -Xmx100M -jar fitnesse.jar-!).
|
|
|
|
!3 Memory issues and the build.
|
|
If you build !-FitNesse-! from source, the ant script may fail for ''out of heap space'' reasons. You can fix this by setting the !style_code(ANT_OPTS) environment variable to !style_code(!--Xmx100M-!).
