wget http://downloads.jasig.org/uportal/uPortal-4.0.5x/uPortal-4.0.5x.tar.gz

After you have downloaded uPortal, unpack the uPortal source outside the Tomcat container (i.e., /usr/local/src or any directory outside tomcat)

tar -xvf uPortal-4.0.5x.tar.gz

Now, we can configure your uPortal for deployment

...

• Shared Libraries

  • uPortal places libraries in CATALINA_BASE/shared/lib The default Tomcat 6.0 download does not enable libraries to be loaded from this directory. To resolve this you must edit CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.properties and change the line that begins "shared.loader=" to the following:

     

<!-- In older versions prior to uPortal 4.0.10 --> 
shared.loader=${catalina.base}/shared/classes,${catalina.base}/shared/lib/*.jar
 
<!-- In uPortal 4.0.10+, shared/classes is NOT necessary: ->
shared.loader=${catalina.base}/shared/lib/*.jar

...

ant initportal

Step 6: Restart Tomcat

$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh
$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh

Step 7: Access uPortal

http://localhost:8080/uPortal/

...

After downloading the uPortal quickstart version untar the package as follows

tar -xvf uPortal-4.x-quick-start.tar.gz

...

Make sure the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set

 export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java

...

Start uPortal by running the ant command from inside the uPortal-4.x-quick-start directory

ant start

Step 4: Access uPortal

http://localhost:8080/uPortal/

If everything has been installed correctly you should see the out-of-the-box uPortal screen below

Step 5: Stop uPortal

ant stop
