Building InsightEdge

InsightEdge is built using Apache Maven.

First, compile and install InsightEdge Core libraries:

# without unit tests
mvn clean install -DskipTests=true

# with unit tests
mvn clean install

To build InsightEdge zip distribution you need the following binary dependencies:

• insightedge-datagrid 12.0.0: find build instructions in repository readme or download release from the website
• insightedge-examples: use the same branch as in this repo, find build instructions in repository readme
• insightedge-zeppelin: use the same branch as in this repo, build with mvn clean install -DskipTests -P spark-1.6 -P build-distr
• Apache Spark 1.6.1: download zip

Package InsightEdge distribution:

mvn clean package -P package-community -DskipTests=true -Ddist.spark=<path to spark.tgz> -Ddist.xap=<path to xap.zip> -Ddist.zeppelin=<path to zeppelin.tar.gz> -Ddist.examples=<path to examples.zip>

The archive is generated under insightedge-packager/target/community directory. The archive content is under insightedge-packager/target/contents-community.
