Operating Systems

The FuGE Hibernate STK can be installed on either Windows or Linux, but we highly recommend a Linux system, specifically Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon and higher.

If you use Ubuntu, it is simple to apt-get the components required. Alternatively, you could create a Virtual Machine and install the latest Ubuntu Server (or Standard) release (8.04, Hardy Heron) on it. This has the advantage that it has postgresql 8.3 and maven 2.0.8 in its package repository. During the installation it even asks whether you want to install a database server.

Database Choice

We also recommend PostgreSQL or MySQL for the database choice, as these are the only two that have been tested with this STK. Of these, PostgreSQL is the preferred choice as it is the one used by the main developer of this STK.

These instructions were originally and loosely based on those found in the Credits Section , but have been modified to suit the needs of this latest version of the STK.
