#Introduction Pivotal GemFire is an in-memory distributed data management system providing dynamic scalability, high performance and persistence. It blends advanced techniques like replication, partitioning, data-aware routing and continuous querying. ##1. Getting Started ###1.1 Prerequisites
1.1.1 Install a Java IDE to use as we will run as clients from an IDE. The examples here use STS, Spring Tool Suite, BUT you could easily use Eclipse or other IDE.
1.1.2 Install JDK 1.7 on your file system. The demos are built using JDK 1.7. GemFire requires the JDK (and not just a JRE) to run gfsh commands)
Wes:workshop wwilliams$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_79"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_79-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.79-b02, mixed mode)###1.2 Installing GemFire
1.2.1 Download GemFire. This workshop uses GemFire 8.1 from [network.pivotal.io](http://network.pivotal.io)
1.2.2 Follow the instructions to install.
1.2.3 Your install should now look like this:

Wes:Pivotal_GemFire_810_b50625_Linux wwilliams$###1.3 Setting Up Your Environment
1.3.1 Download files from github to your file system. This workshop uses directory location at: ~/gf81/workshop.
If you downloaded the .zip file, execute the following instruction. Otherwise, git clone the above link from github)
wwilliams@Wes:~/gf81 $ unzip ~/Downloads/workshop.zip -d .1.3.2 Navigate to ~/gf81/workshop
1.3.3 Update your PATH to include GemFire and the Java JDK in setenvironment.sh. For example:
# PUT THIS INTO YOUR ~/.bash_profile since GemFire will use the variables from there
export GEMFIRE_HOME=/usr/local/Cellar/gemfire/8.1.0/libexec
export GEMFIRE=$GEMFIRE_HOME
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7)
# Note: the above on OSX resolves to:
#export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_71.jdk/Contents/Home
export GF_JAVA=$JAVA_HOME/bin/java
# this gets the IP of the machine for some gemfire bind addresses
IP=$(ifconfig en0 | awk '/inet /{print substr($2,1)}' | tail -n1)
HOSTNAME=gemhost1.3.4 This workshop uses the hostname gemhost to avoid compatibility issues using localhost on some platforms. Update your /etc/hosts file to reference gemhost with your IP.
## # Host Database # # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface # when the system is booting. Do not change this entry. ## 127.0.0.1 localhost 255.255.255.255 broadcasthost ::1 localhost
192.168.1.110 gemhost
1.3.5 Open 2 separate terminal windows.
1.3.6 Edit ./config/gemfire.properties to include the correct directory where extracted for the following property
deploy-working-dir=/Users/wwilliams/gf81/workshop/deploy*Note: You must use Java syntax here. You cannot use OS shortcuts like ~.*
1.3.7 Proceed to the “workshop” directory and execute the package.sh script. It will copy your gemfire.properties to future chapters.
