Follow the instructions on the Get Started page to download the World Wind release and extract it to a local directory.
1. Build a Server Deployment Package
From a command line, change the current working directory to the directory you installed World Wind. Then execute Ant for the servers.deployment target, like this:
ant servers.deployment
This creates the servers-deployment folder, which contains the necessary configuration files to run the World Wind server.
2. Launch the World Wind Server
Change the working directory to the servers-deployment directory.
- To launch the server on Windows, execute
startWMS.batfrom a command-line.
- To launch the server on Unix, execute
startWMS.shfrom the command-line.
3. Test the Deployment
The server is configured by default to listen for HTTP WMS requests on port 8000.
Click the following link on the installation computer or place it in a web browser to issue a WMS GetCapabilities request:
http://localhost:8000/wms?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities
If the server is functioning properly it will return an XML WMS Capabilities document.
