Currently the server runs on almost any OS supporting Apache tomcat version 6. Besides that one of the following databases is required to run the NEXUSe2e web application.

• MS SQL
• My SQL
• Oracle 9 and 10

Besides that NEXUSe2e is able to use an embedded database for development or fuctional tests. It is strongly recommended not to use this database as a production environment.

For development tests or evaluation, the esiest way to install NEXUSe2e is the war file within Tomcat. Besides downloading the war file its required to install a web application server. You can use a standard tomcat installer to get this done. Please make sure the web application server is installed correctly and accessable on the configured port. Now its time to deploy the NEXUSe2e web app on this server. For Tomcat, just drop the war file into the webapps directory. After restarting the server, the war file will be exploded into directory with the same name. The first start will take some time (up to 2-3 miuntes depending on the server you installed the server on). On the frist start a embedded database is installed and you should be able to access the web interface of nexus.

http://<host>:<port>/NEXUSe2e

Please replace the host and port with the right one for your server install. Please don't miss to replace the protocol as well if only https is available on your web application server.
