G-Repository Server Prerequisites

This lesson goes over the prerequisite steps that must be completed before creating a G-Repository Server in Lesson 4 of this module.

G-Repository Server requires the use of Java and GenRocket Jars to keep synchronization information between GenRocket Cloud Projects and OnPrem Projects within your corporate environment.

Before a G-Repository Server can be created within your corporate environment, please make sure the following prerequisites have been met on the server that will be used to set up the G-Repository Server:

Step 1: Download and Install Java version 1.8 or Higher.

You will need to install Java Runtime or Java Developer Kit 1.8 or higher on the server that will be used for setting up G-Repository Server.

• OSX/Linux: How to Install Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
• OSX/Linux: How to Install Java Developer Kit (JDK)

Step 2: Download and Install latest version of GenRocket Runtime.

GenRocket Runtime can be downloaded from GenRocket Cloud by logging in with your user credentials.

Once downloaded, complete the steps outlined in this article:

• OSX/Linux: GenRocket Initial Installation and Setup

Step 3: Download User Profile and Place in .genrocket Subdirectory.

A G-Repository Server can only be set up and launched by a GenRocket Org Admin.  A GenRocket Org Admin must first download their GenRocket profile to the machine, where a G-Repository server is to be set up and place their profile in the .genrocket subdirectory.  

Once a G-Repository Server is set up with the given GenRocket Org Admin, it is permanently tied to that Org Admin.

Once these steps have been completed, you are ready to create a G-Repository Server on the machine. See Lesson 4 of this training module to learn more.
