System Requirements

If you do not have Visual Studio .NET 2003 or 2005, then Windows .NET Framework 2.0 must be installed (default on Windows XP SP2). (see N.B.5 Below)
To run the .NET 1.1 examples on a Linux machine, mono 1.1 must be installed.
It should run on any Windows XP on an x86 system, or Linux system, with Internet Explorer 5,6,7, Firefox, Opera and also with Visual Studio 2005 Express and other editions.

Fitnesse & Wiki

This must be installed to use the .NET examples.

You can get FitNesse from http://www.fitnesse.org/FitNesse.DownLoad
by downloading and installing fitnesse20060719.zip
The installation instructions are at: http://www.fitnesse.org/FitNesse.DownloadingAndInstallingFitNesse
N.B.These Examples will not run properly under previous fitnesse versions, because the wiki navigation using symbolic links has changed.
FitNesse & the Wiki requires Java 5 to run.
If you need the Windows Java Run Time Environment 1.5 you can download it at: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Installing the FitBook Examples

  1. Download the zip (Windows) file or tar.gz archive (Linux - file is smaller) containing the Visual Basic, C# and J# or Java versions of the examples.

  2. Extract the zip file or tar.gz archive to the drive where FitNesse is installed.
    This assumes that your fitnesse directory is a top level directory on the drive,
    If not, extract to the directory containing your fitnesse folder. (N.B. tick 'Use folder names' & 'Overwrite files'in WinZip!) .
  3. Start the FitNesseWiki,
    On Windows, navigate to the fitnesse directory and click on runfitnesse.bat .
    On Linux, open a terminal, cd to the fitnesse directory and type ./runfitnesse.sh .
    (This installs fitnesse on port 8081.)

    if you wish to install on another port use the run.bat or run.sh file (port 80 - default) or alter the port number in the bat or shell file.
  4. Go to the FrontPage (by pointing your browser to http://localhost:8081 ) or whichever port you have chosen.
See the page FitNesse Links if you need the original sources on which this port is based. 
It is not necessary to compile the sources before running the ported .NET tests.
