Weave installation on Mac OS X

Dependencies

We are using homebrew as package manager to install all Weave dependencies.

Install PostgreSQL and Apache Tomcat

$ brew install postgresql tomcat

Note: Weave is also compatible with Oracle Glassfish as Servlet Container and supports MySQL as RDBMS.

Start Tomcat

$ /user/local/Cellar/tomcat/7.0.16/libexec/bin/startup.sh

Please see the Apache Tomcat documentation for more configuration details.

Start PostgreSQL

Please follow the instructions after the installation for initial PostgreSQL configuration. Once you have done that, you can start the database server with

$ pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log start

Create Weave user and database

$ createuser weave
Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) n
Shall the new role be allowed to create databases? (y/n) y
Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/n) n

Set user password:

$ psql postgres
postgres=# ALTER ROLE weave WITH password 'mypassword';
ALTER ROLE
postgres=# \q

Create Weave database and set owner to user weave:

$ createdb weave -O weave

Install Weave
