Project Zero Downloads have moved!!

Zero Command Line Interface

The Project Zero command line interface contains the base platform for running Zero applications. The Command Line Interface contains an installer to download additional Zero runtime libraries from a Zero package repository. The instructions below are for the latest Project Zero code. Previous versions of the Project Zero code can be found here.

PHP applications can be developed using the command line interface. See Installing and configuring PHP for configuration changes you will need to make.

Prerequisites for Command Line Interface

• Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux operating system
• Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 5.0
  • Note: IBM employees should use the IBM internal site for downloading the JDK

Download and Installation of Command Line Interface

Installation

1. Unzip zero.tools-<version>.zip into any directory. This results in a subdirectory called zerohome that contains shell scripts for the Zero command-line interface.
2. Add the zerohome directory to the PATH environment variable.
3. Add the bin directory under the JDK installation directory to the PATH environment variable.

Getting Started

1. Open the command prompt and change directories to zerohome.
2. Type zero create myapp
3. Change the directory to zerohome/apps/myapp.
4. Type zero run to run the application.
5. Browse to http://localhost:8080/, where you're greeted by a welcome page that indicates your application is running.

Using the new Installer

Optionally, you can download and use the new InstallAnywhere installer for Zero. This is currently new and under going active development and testing, so it may have a few problems. If you wish to use the Installer, download it here. After installation, use the Getting Started instructions above.
