Evaluating Gravity

This section enables you to install Gravity for evaluation purposes. It shows you how to:

  1. Install Java
  2. Install a Gravity Server on your Windows machine
  3. Introduction to the Web Client
  4. Install the Gravity Administration Client
  5. Introduction to the Administration functions

Install Java

You need to install Java 8 or higher before the Server can run. Java also needs to be in your path. You can download a Java installer from Oracle. After the installation of Java, open a command line and type "java -version". This will print out some Java information. If you get the message "'java' is not recognized as in internal or external program" then Java is not on your path.
