Deploying Fedora4
In OSX or Windows you can simply double-click the fcrepo-webapp-4.1.0-auth.war file to launch the Fedora 4 console. Then click Start and wait for the application to load in your browser.
You can also run the application from the command line using the following command:
java -jar fcrepo-webapp-4.1.0-jetty-console.war --headless
Note: The location where Fedora writes to disk can be specified with the following flag:
java -Dfcrepo.home=/path/fedora/data -jar fcrepo-webapp-4.1.0-jetty-console.war --headless
