Instructions for MAC OSX
Java
Java comes preinstalled with the MacOS operating system. Hopefully you've kept up-to-date with MacOSX Software Updates and so should have the latest version of the OS (10.3.4) and the Java distribution: >java -versionjava version "1.4.2_05" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-141) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-38, mixed mode)
If you are running version 1.4.2_04, this is OK. If you are running version 1.4.1_* then you should think about upgrading to OS 10.3. If this is not feasible at the moment, make sure that you are using 10.2.8 and the most recent version of Java. There might be one or two problems with Java 1.4.1 but most things will work.
Tomcat
You need to download and install the Tomcat servlet container: (1) Download the Tomcat v5.0.27 binary (5.0.27 tar.gz) from: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.cgi (2) MacOS X should unpack it automatically but in case it doesn't: tar zxvf jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27.tar.gz (3) After you download the SummerschoolFull.zip and unzip it (go back to the previous page and continue the instructions). You need to set the Tomcat environment variables in setupjava to point to where your Tomcat installation is: setenv JAVA_HOME /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home/
setenv TOMCAT_HOME ...
setenv CATALINA_HOME ...
