BaasBox is an Open Source project that aims to provide a general purpose server for the backend operations required generally by Mobile Apps and RIAs.

Further information can be found at www.baasbox.com.

To build BaasBox you need a JDK (not JRE!) (version 6 or above) (download here) and the Play! Framework 2.1.1 (download here)

Once you will have installed the above software following their installation guides, you will be able to build BaasBox.

Download the source code from GitHub

Go to your local BaasBox source code directory and type:

play dist

Play! will build BaasBox and will create a .zip file in the ./dist directory.

The .zip file contains all that you need to run BaasBox. Unzip it, set the execution permission to the start.sh file and run it. If all worked properly, BaasBox will create a new database in the ./DB directory, and will start.

To test it go to http://www.localhost:9000. The BaasBox should appear.

To access to the Admin Console Panel, goto http://www.localhost:9000/console
