Installing AEM Jar
Basic Installation Overview: The installation of AEM involves a few simple steps. Here’s how you can get started:
- Preparing the Installation Directory:
- Create a root folder on your system where you want to install AEM. You can name it anything, for example, ‘AEM_SDK’.
- Inside this root folder, create two subfolders: one for the author instance (named ‘author’) and one for the publish instance (named ‘publish’).
- Placing the AEM JAR and License Files:
- Obtain the AEM JAR and its license file. Make sure you have the correct version of AEM as per your requirements.
- Copy the AEM JAR file and the license file into both the ‘author’ and ‘publish’ folders.
- Renaming the JAR Files:
- Rename the JAR file in each folder to reflect its purpose and the port it will use. For example, in the author folder, rename it to ‘aem-author-p4502.jar’, where ‘4502’ is the port number.
- Similarly, in the publish folder, you might name it ‘aem-publish-p4503.jar’, with ‘4503’ as the publish instance port.
- Launching AEM:
- Double-click on the renamed JAR file in the respective folder. This should start the AEM instance.
- The first launch can take some time (around 15-20 minutes), as AEM initializes its environment.
- Logging into AEM:
- Once the AEM startup process is complete, the login page should automatically open in your web browser.
- Log in using the default credentials (username: admin, password: admin).
