How to start genesis.

[vistrcm]

Hello,

Im trying to start genesis as described in README:

java -Dbackend.properties=(path to the configuration file) -cp "${TARGET}/*" com.griddynamics.genesis.GenesisFrontend

But it is not clear what is $TARGET in this case?

There's more simple way to start it(as background process). Try to just run
distribution-standalone/target/genesis-2.4.0-SNAPSHOT/genesis-2.4.0-SNAPSHOT/bin/genesis.sh start

In your case target should be: distribution-standalone/target/genesis-2.4.0-SNAPSHOT/genesis-2.4.0-SNAPSHOT/lib/

[vistrcm]

distribution-standalone is empty after

mvn clean package

➛  OpenGenesis git:(master) ls -al distribution-standalone
