GemStone/S software

If you are just getting started with GemStone, we strongly recommend the GLASS Virtual Appliance. It provides a completely pre-configured, ready-to-run GLASS system packaged as a VMware Virtual Appliance. It contains a Squeak image you can use to develop Seaside applications.

If you have experience installing GemStone/S, and are comfortable with setting up Apache and FastCGI and performing other system and network administration tasks, you may prefer a native GemStone/S Web Edition for Linux, or Mac OS X. These include GemStone/S 2.4.4.1 and Seaside 2.8, but not Linux, Apache, or a Squeak VM.

The simplest way to install the GemStone/S Web Edition for Linux or Mac OS X is to download and execute installGemstone.sh. This script downloads GemStone/S and installs it in /opt/gemstone automatically. If /opt/gemstone/product already exists, you should rename or remove it before executing the script. If you only need the product archive, download the one for your platform below.

GemTools: one-click Pharo image

GemTools contains everything you need to connect to GemStone/S and start developing a Seaside application – Pharo image/changes, GemStone library, even a Pharo VM. It runs on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. Download the version that matches your GemStone/S release: 2.3.1 (2.3.1 should be used for 2.4 releases earlier than 2.4.4) or 2.4.4.

After starting up GemTools, update to the latest version by following these instructions.

For more information on GemTools, see the GemTools Launcher Guide.
