Installation instructions for EUROPA

Note : Starting with EUROPA 2.1.2 (available since Sept 2, 2008), EUROPA is provided in a binary distribution, to which this installation page applies. To build and EUROPA from source, see BuildingEuropa.

Supported Platforms

EUROPA is currently supported on Linux (Mac OS, Windows and Solaris are nominally supported). A platform is officially supported if and only if there is an automated build regularly scheduled for it.

Software Requirements

Installing Europa

After downloading the appropriate EUROPA distribution for your system (available here), just unzip and set the EUROPA_HOME environment variable. For example, assuming that you have the EUROPA distribution in your ~/tmp directory and want to install EUROPA in your ~/europa directory, using bash you would do (modify appropriately for your os+shell) :

% mkdir ~/europa
% cd ~/europa
% unzip ~/tmp/europa-2.1.2-linux.zip 
% export EUROPA_HOME=~/europa
% export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$EUROPA_HOME/lib      # DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on a Mac
% export DYLD_BIND_AT_LAUNCH=YES                                  # Only needed on Mac OS X

You are now ready to use EUROPA. If you are new to EUROPA, you are ready to create your first EUROPA project, as described in the Quick Start

Static Libraries

The basic EUROPA distribution contains shared libraries only, static libraries are bundled in a separate zip file (they would otherwise more than double the size of the EUROPA distribution).

If you want to use static libraries, get the appropriate zip file from the download page then unzip it under your $EUROPA_HOME directory, the libraries will be put in the $EUROPA_HOME/lib directory.

To continue the example above, this is how you would add the corresponding static libraries to your EUROPA installation :

% cd $EUROPA_HOME
% unzip ~/tmp/europa-2.1.2-linux-static-libs.zip
