Getting started
Prerequisite
- JDK 1.8, 1.9 (64bit)

Setting up the environment variables
Make sure java and python are executable.
Example for windows:
SET JAVA_HOME=<Your Java installation path>
SET PYTHON_HOME=<Your Python installation path>
SET PATH=%PATH;%PYTHON_HOME%\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\bin
Example for linux like systems:
export JAVA_HOME=<Your Java installation path>
export PYTHON_HOME=<Your Python installation path>
export PATH=$PATH:$PYTHON_HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin
Most common cases you don't need to set above parameters because those projects automatically add paths during installation.
for macOS system:

You have to install graphviz using Homebrew
brew install graphviz

/brightics-studio/brightics-server : core home

http://www.brightics.ai/docs/en-us/ai/v3.6/user_guide/05_tasks
Build
Build core packages with maven.
mvn clean package -DskipTests [Options] -Popensource
Create python environment
When you use stable release, you can skip this process.
Because our package has all required python libraries in its own environment.
If for some reasons that the files are crashed, you should remove and reconstruct a environment directory under lib/brightics_python_env.
This guide covers setting up python environment from the beginning.
Some of python packages need Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools.
Please make sure Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 installed when you run a setup command in windows.
Reference : Python wiki for WindowsCompilers
setup.cmd <pip options> : for windows
setup.sh <pip options> : for linux and mac
