- Some experience with the Mercurial Distributed Version Control System (DVCS), such as how to "clone" a repository (see "Mercurial: The Basics" at http://hgbook.red-bean.com for more information). For users who want to browse the source but don't have or don't want to use DVCS, a ZIP archive of the source can be downloaded from any of the source repositories (however, be aware that the top-level directory name in a downloaded ZIP archive will be different than what it would be if the repository were cloned with the DVCS).
- Familiarity with editing properties files and other configuration files as part of a build process.
- Some experience with a Java Application Server such as Glassfish or Tomcat
- A Windows, Linux, or Mac system with:
- Java (JDK) version 6 or version 7 (version 8 and higher is not compatible with Glassfish 3.1.2)
- A Mercurial DVCS client ("hg")
- Apache Maven, a software project management and build tool
- Glassfish version 3.1.2 (available at http://download.java.net/glassfish/3.1.2.2/release/glassfish-3.1.2.2.zip)
- Tools to download and manipulate test data sets using the DS2 Data Scripts project: SQLite; Perl with DBI module, SQLite DBD module, and Text CSV module; wget, tar, gzip, unzip
- Optionally, WEKA data mining software to create predicates other than the Naive Bayes predicate (information at the Software Used by DS2 page)
- Most of the above prerequisites (except Glassfish and WEKA) are easily obtainable via package managers such as yum or apt (Linux); Fink or Homebrew (OS X); Cygwin (Windows). For example:
- Fedora Linux version 19: sudo yum install perl-DBD-SQLite perl-Text-CSV hg maven java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel unzip
- CentOS version 6.5: sudo yum install perl-DBD-SQLite perl-Text-CSV hg java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel unzip wget dos2unix (maven will need to be downloaded and installed manually)
