Getting Started
To start using JNode you have two options:
Getting the latest released CD-ROM image
- Download the bootable CDROM image from here.
- Unzip it
- Burn it to CD-ROM
- Boot a test PC from it or start in in VMWare
Getting the latest sources and building them
- Checkout the jnode module from Subversion. See the sourceforge SVN page for details.
- Build JNode using the build.bat (on windows) or build.sh (on unix) script.
Without parameters, these scripts will give all build options. You probably want to use the cd-x86 option that builds the CD-ROM image. - Boot a test PC from it or start in in VMWare
Getting nightly builds
- Download the nightly-builds
- You can also get the sources and a ready-to-use vmx file for VMWare
Running JNode
Once JNode has booted, you will see a JNode > command prompt. See the shell reference for available commands.
