The first step is to start the server. You will find the startup script in the bin directory inside the RepertoireServer directory. To run the server for Windows, use the startServer.bat, for Unix-like operating systems you should use startServer.sh. You should then see log messages from Elixir Repertoire Server components as they are deployed in the server log file (look in the log directory for server.log).

The first time the server runs, it will establish a default database in the db subdirectory. This may take a few minutes. If in future you upgrade your server, the db directory will not be overwritten, so settings there will be preserved. If you want to reset your server to it's original installed condition, simply stop the server and delete the db directory. A new db directory will be generated when the server is restarted.
