1  Deploying a CDO Server

The easiest way to deploy a stand-alone CDO Server is to download the latest Eclipse Installer for the target environment:

• Windows 64 Bit (self-extracting exe)
• Windows 32 Bit (self-extracting exe)
• Mac OS 64 Bit (tar.gz)
• Linux 64 Bit (tar.gz)
• Linux 32 Bit (tar.gz)

When the Eclipse Installer is started, select the "CDO Server" application:

Please note that many repository configuration options can not be changed anymore after the repository has been started the first time.

• On Linux start the normal eclipse executable from a terminal window.
