Each of these setup processes can be done with user-wide authentication or project-local authentication. Although most modellers need user-wide authentication, there may be instances where a different license is necessary in one or more specific projects. The setup processes go through user-wide setup first, followed by project-local setup.

\n

Maven Authentication

\n

Maven will search for a file called settings.xml in its home directory when creating a default server authentication configuration.

\n

Use the following commands to create and open the Maven home directory, .m2 directory, if it hasn't been created already.

\n

On a Windows command prompt (WinKey + R, cmd), run the following commands.

\n
md "%userprofile%\\.m2"\nexplorer "%userprofile%\\.m2"
\n

On Mac OS and Linux, run the following commands.

\n
mkdir -p ~/.m2\n\nopen ~/.m2 # MacOS\nxdg-open ~/.m2 # Linux
\n

Next, if settings.xml doesn't exist in that directory, create it. The basic structure of the file should look like the following.

\n
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>\n<settings>\n    <servers>\n        <server>\n            <id>simudyne.jfrog.io</id>\n            <username></username>\n            <password></password>\n        </server>\n    </servers>\n</settings>
\n

Place your username and password in the appropriate XML elements, then save the file. The username and password are located in your Maven access token file.

\n

The format of the Maven access token file has changed slightly over time. For older Simudyne users, the username is the name of the access token file, and the password is the file content. Newer users can find both the username and passowrd in the contents of the access token file, as the first and second line, respectively.

\n

Your organisation may require you to use a proxy for Maven requests. Proxy settings should be placed in the settings.xml file under the \"proxies\" element. For more information on configuring a proxy, see Maven's\nproxy configuration page.

\n

There are two different ways Maven can be configured for project-local authentication.

\n
    \n
  1. On the command line, pass -S settings.xml to any mvn command.
    2. \n
  2. In the IDE, override the Maven configuration on a per-project basis. The exact method for this will vary depending on the IDE. For IntelliJ Idea, Simudyne's recommended IDE, take the following steps:\na. Go to \"Build, Execution, Deployment\".\nb. In \"Build Tools\", select \"Maven\".\nc. Tick the override box for the \"User settings file\" property.\nd. Set it to point to the settings.xml file in your project.

Simudyne License

\n

SDK users should recieve a Simudyne license file as part of the onboarding process. Please contact support@simudyne.com if there are any license problems.

\n

Simudyne licenses have a .license extension, and the SDK automatically searches for licenses in the .simudyne directory. If the directory contains more than one license file, the SDK will pick one at random.

\n

Read more in-depth documentation on licensing here.

\n

Use the following commands to create and open the .simudyne directory. Put the license file inside after the directory has been created.

\n

On a Windows command prompt (WinKey + R, cmd), run the following commands.

\n
md "%userprofile%\\.simudyne"\nexplorer "%userprofile%\\.simudyne"
\n

On Mac OS and Linux, run the following commands.

\n
mkdir -p ~/.simudyne\n\nopen ~/.simudyne # MacOS\nxdg-open ~/.simudyne # Linux
\n

There are several ways that Simudyne licenses can be configured for project-local authentication.

\n
    \n
  1. Copy the license to a project's root directory and rename it to `licenseKey'. The SDK will then prioritize this license.
    2. \n
  2. Put a core.license-file property into the simudyneSDK.properties file. The value should be the path to your license relative to your project root directory.
    3. \n
  3. Pass in the license location via the Java command line using the -DsimudyneLicenseFile flag.
