Un résumé de la procédure en français est disponible.

This documentation is for Capsis modellers (according to the Capsis charter), it explains how to get a full local copy of Capsis on their computer to be able to add their own work in the platform.

The Capsis software sources are hosted on a Subversion (SVN) repository.

A Login is required (see section 2. below).

Capsis relies on Java version 1.8 (or Java 8): Java Development Kit Standard Edition version 1.8.

→ To check if your installation of java is correct, check the FAQ, section 3.6. The system must find a jdk 1.8.x. If correct, jump directly to section 2.

On windows

• Download and install the Java developper Kit (JDK and not JRE) version 1.8 :
  • Try from here (e.g. Windows x86 for 32 bits systems)

• Modify the PATH environment variable according to your installation directory
  • Click Start > Control Panel > System on Windows XP or Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment Variables.
  • In the PATH system variable, add the location of the bin/ folder of the installed JDK at first position. A typical value is: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_<version>\bin (you may seek this directory in a file manager and copy / paste the path)
  • A ; must be added between the paths in the PATH variable
  • You should only have one bin/ directory for a JDK in the path at a time. Those following the first instance will be ignored.

On Linux

• Download a JDK installer
  • Try from here (e.g. Linux x64 tar.gz for Linux Ubuntu 64 bits systems)

If the PATH is to be updated, have a look in /etc/environment, ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile. You may have a look at this doc to change the PATH under Linux Ubuntu.

→ To check if your installation of java is now correct, check the FAQ.

Capsis files are hosted on the amap-dev development server. To access to Capsis files, you need to create an account on the server.

• Register yourself on : http://amap-dev.cirad.fr/account/register .
• Once your account has been validated by an administrator you can access to the Capsis project: http://amap-dev.cirad.fr/projects/capsis

Your login/password will be used to access to SVN files, but also to modify the Capsis Wiki web site and to manage Capsis on the amap-dev development server (e.g. ask for a bug correction / a new feature).

SmartSVN makes it possible to access to the SVN repository.

• Download and install SmartSVN : http://www.syntevo.com/smartsvn/download.html (more downloads here: http://www.wandisco.com/subversion/download)
• Start SmartSVN
  • if Smartsvn ask for svnserve and svnadmin, click Cancel
  • During installation, SmartSVN may ask you if you want to evaluate the Pro version. You can ignore this message
• Choose Check out project from repository
• Quick Checkout :
  • URL: http://amap-dev.cirad.fr/svn/capsis/trunk
  • Local directory: the directory you choose for your local copy (e.g. C:\capsis4 OR /home/coligny/java/capsis4)
• Accept the server fingerprint if proposed
• Enter your login and password

Note: This is your new login password you entered when you registered on amap-dev at section 2

• Validate and finish

Later when you will need to get the last changes of the server downloaded to your local copy, you will use SmartSVN and the Update command.

When you will have to upload your own changes onto the server, you will use the SVN Commit command.

You may ask for support to well understand the process when updating your local copy or commiting your changes the first time.

For more information on the SVN commands, see this doc: SVN update and commit

• Open a terminal (Dos prompt under windows, shell under linux)
• Go to the capsis4 directory with cd
• Recompile the project

ant compile

• If you need a full recompilation (should be done after each SVN update)

ant clean compile

Note : If there are errors, please contact the capsis team.

• Then you can launch Capsis.

The capsis.bat or capsis.sh scripts are used to start capsis :

Under Windows

capsis 

Under Linux

sh capsis.sh

Note : you can also use

ant run

See code editor

See ant
