Quick Start
You can either choose to download a standalone binary package or a WAR file to quickly start playing with MapStore.
Binary package
The easiest way to try out MapStore is to download and extract the binary package available on MapStore release page. Here you can find some preconfigured maps as well users and groups. The goal for this package is to ease all the requirements needed for you to take MapStore for a test-drive.
We hope you enjoy MapStore!
How to run
Go to the location where you saved the zip file, unzip the contents and run:
Windows: mapstore2_startup.bat
Linux: ./mapstore2_startup.sh
Point your browser to: http://localhost:8082/mapstore
To stop MapStore simply do:
Windows: mapstore2_shutdown.bat
Linux: ./mapstore2_shutdown.sh

WAR file
Download the WAR file from the latest release here.
After downloading the MapStore war file, install it in your java web container (e.g. Tomcat), with usual procedures for the container (normally you only need to copy the war file in the webapps subfolder).
If you don't have a java web container you can download Apache Tomcat from here and install it. You will also need a Java7 JRE.
Then you can access MapStore using the following URL (assuming the web container is on the standard 8080 port):
http://localhost:8080/mapstore
Use the default credentials (admin / admin) to login and start creating your maps!
