Building the Quickstart release

If you are content with Bedework out-of-the-box, you do not need to build the system.  If you wish to take advantage of certain advanced features, or you'd like to apply a code update to your system, you may need to perform a build.  Bedework is built in the following way:

1. Open a console window and cd to the quickstart directory.
2. Set JAVA_HOME environment variable.
3.  Enter the following command:  ./bw deploy

For details about the bw command and its options, see Deploying Bedework. You can also see a "usage" message by entering "./bw" with no parameters on the command line ("bw" for Windows users).
