Installing Red Deer

Note that the URLs and version numbers included in these instructions will change as new versions of Red Deer become available.

Prerequisites:

• You will need git (http://git-scm.com) and maven (http://maven.apache.org/) (and Java) to be installed before you install Red Deer.

And, you will have to configure maven's settings.xml to use jboss nexus repo:

<settings>
    <profiles>
        <profile>
            <id>jboss-maven-repos</id>
            <repositories>
            <repository>
                <id>jboss-releases</id>
                <url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/releases</url>
                <releases>
                    <enabled>true</enabled>
                </releases> 
            </repository>
            <repository>
                <id>jboss-snapshots-repository</id>
                <url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
                <snapshots>

                </snapshots> 
            </repository>
        </repositories>
        </profile>
    </profiles>
    <activeProfiles>
