The Simudyne SDK is a set of libraries in Java that will require the following to run:
\nA free 7-day trial is available for the Simudyne SDK and can be accessed via the AWS Marketplace. More info in the sections below.
\n\nThis AWS instance comes complete with the Simudyne SDK installed, license and access token set up, and a sample project so that you can immediately begin development. Pricing information and AMI options are available below:
\n\nNote that for purchases via AWS Marketplace, a single additional developer license can be provided for working locally, please contact support@simudyne.com to receive this after purchasing.
\nTo purchase directly, please contact support@simudyne.com for a quote.
\nIf you have purchased an AMI via AWS, the Simudyne SDK will come preinstalled and is ready for development.
\nIf you have purchased the SDK directly you will need to download the required SDK libraries via one of the two methods:
\nDownload and install the latest version of JDK 8 from the Oracle repository.
\nOther distributions of JDK 8 are available and can be downloaded using IntelliJ.
\nThe JDK 8 installation path is explicitly set in the Windows installer, and can be saved from there.
\nIt is recommended to install the Maven build tool to manage Simudyne SDK projects, even when using IntelliJ Idea.
\nC:\\Program Files directory.| \n Name\n | \n\n Value\n | \n
|---|---|
| \n JAVA_HOME\n | \n\n JDK repository (JDK installation path)\n | \n
| \n M2_HOME\n | \n\n C:\\Program Files\\apache-maven-x.x.x\n | \n
| \n MAVEN_HOME\n | \n\n C:\\Program Files\\apache-maven-x.x.x\n | \n
| \n PATH\n | \n\n Add \"%M2_HOME%\\bin\" to existing variable\n | \n
To add the Maven home location to the PATH system variable:
Finally, check whether the install was successful by running the following command.
\nmvn -vIf it returns Apache Maven X.X.X, the install was successful.
\nSimudyne recommends using IntelliJ Idea. This IDE also manages builds, so it is not necessary to install a separate build tool, however, it is recommended that the Maven build tool be installed.
\nRun the following command in a terminal to check whether JDK 8 is already installed.
\njavac versionIf the command returns a JDK version number that starts with 1.8 or higher, the system already has the proper JDK installed. Otherwise, the current JDK must be uninstalled before installing JDK 8.
\nRun the following command to uninstall an older JDK.
\n$ sudo rm -rf /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk<version>.jdkDownload and install the latest version of JDK 8 from the Oracle repository.
\nOther distributions of JDK 8 are available and can be downloaded using IntelliJ.
\nOn Linux, run the following commands.
\n$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java\n$ sudo apt-get update\n$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installerThe JDK 8 installation path is returned by the terminal after installation is complete.
\nThe process of installing Maven differs slightly between Mac OS and Linux.
\nOn Mac OS, make sure Homebrew is installed, then run the following command.
\n$ brew install mavenOn Linux, run the following command.
\n$ apt-cache search maven\n$ sudo apt-get install mavenSimudyne recommends using IntelliJ Idea. This IDE also manages builds, so it is not necessary to install a separate build tool, however, it is recommended that the Maven build tool be installed in the next section.
