## Getting started ### Prerequisites In order to run Concierge, you need a Java JRE installed on your system. ### Launching Concierge Download the latest version of the Concierge distribution from [the project website](http://www.eclipse.org/concierge) Start the framework from the installation directory by launching the framework jar and provide an .xargs file: ``` java -jar framework/org.eclipse.concierge*.jar samples/default.xargs ``` This will launch the framework and provide you with a Concierge shell. Type the `bundles` command to see the active bundles: ``` Concierge> bundles Bundles: [ 0] (active) org.eclipse.concierge [ 1] (active) Eclipse Concierge Shell ``` You can start an additional bundle from both a filesystem or a web URL. For example, to install the Apache Felix DS runtime, type: ``` Concierge> install http://www.us.apache.org/dist/felix/org.apache.felix.scr-1.8.0.jar ``` This will download and install the bundle: ``` Concierge> bundles Bundles: [ 0] (active) org.eclipse.concierge [ 1] (active) Eclipse Concierge Shell [ 2] (installed) Apache Felix Declarative Services ``` Start the bundle with the start command: ``` Concierge> start 2 [org.apache.felix.scr-1.8.0] started. ``` Congratulations, you have successfuly launched your Concierge runtime. For more info on the available shell commands, type `help`. To shutdown the framework type `exit`.
