01 Downloading uPortal

uPortal can be downloaded from http://www.jasig.org/uportal/download

There are 3 distributions:

  1. uPortal-only - Files intended to be deployed into a Java Servlet Container (e.g. Tomcat, Oracle, Glassfish ...)
  2. Quick Start - Distribution containing uPortal and software necessary to run (database, servlet container, build management). Requires a JDK.
  3. Developers Quick Start - Quick Start plus the included uPortal has the necessary Subversion data to be able to run svn commands against it.

The "Quick Start" is intended for demonstration/evaluation purposes. In particular, the included HSQL database is not appropriate for production use.
