How to install vertx?

[Ant's]

I downloaded the vertx file and I added the following lines into my ~/.bashrc file:

export VERTX_HOME=/home/anto/vertx/bin
export PATH=${PATH}:${VERTX_HOME}/bin

But still I can see :

vertx command not found.

If I run vertx version.

Where I'm making mistake?

[Tim Fox]

You have the bin directory in there twice, it should read:

|export VERTX_HOME=/home/anto/vertx

export PATH=${PATH}:${VERTX_HOME|}/bin

Assuming you have installed vertx in the /home/anto/vertx directory

I tried that but when I did this :

vertx version. 

I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/vertx/java/deploy/impl/cli/VertxMgr : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

Could not find the main class: org.vertx.java.deploy.impl.cli.VertxMgr.  Program will exit.

Don't know what went wrong.

[Tim Fox]

This is because you are trying to run it with an older JDK version.

vert.x requires Java 7.

http://vertx.io/install.html "JDK. Vert.x requires JDK 1.7.0 or later. You can use the official Oracle distribution or the OpenJDK version. Make sure the JDK bin directory is on your PATH."

[umenokin]

I cant call vertx directly.

For example if I will go in vert.x-1.0.final/bin derectory and type
verx version I will get vertx: command not found.
But if I go to vert.x-1.0.final and type bin/vertx or from bin
directory type sh vertx everything will run Ok.

[umenokin]

Forgot to say that I use Mac OSX Lion. Thanks.

You have to add vertx bin directory to your path.

[Cedric Gatay]

Or if you have homebrew you can brew install it using my pending pull request

I added ../vertx/bin to path variable.

[Tim Fox]

You need to add the _absolute path_ of the bin directory to your path variable.

This is no different to basically every other program in existence ;)

[umenokin]

Thank you Tim. I added absolute file and by ".." mean other part. But
that was not a problem. Just for some reason my mac at home
use .bash_profile instead of .profile.
Right now everything work fine. Thanks to everyone :)

Hi umenokin ,

Its nice that u can run vertx on Mac Ox Lion. But  I am facing same problem. I am using MacOSx Mountain Lion and Java version is 

java version "1.6.0_35"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_35-b10-428-11M3811)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.10-b01-428, mixed mode)

And when I am trying to run 

vertx version

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/vertx/java/deploy/impl/cli/Starter : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

Can You tell me how can I resolved this problem?

Thanks,

swapnil

[Thorsten Marx]

vertx needs java 1.7 to run.

You need to use Java 7.  1.6 is not supported.

[Victor Benarbia]

Java 7 can be installed on OSX Lion (Oracle version) or previous (Open JDK).

See oracle documentation if you are using OSX Lion :

Do anyone know how to install vertx module manually?

i want to install vertx.web-server-v1.0 manually, as I am getting error while installing it from code.

My internet proxy is restricting to download from desired url.

So is there any way to install in manually?

Thanks and Regards,

Swapnil

Download it and install it locally by getting the mod.zip file from the public repo[1] and unzip it.

The directory that it unpacks to should be named correctly to just be placed in your designated mods dir.

Or you can checkout the whole vertx-mods repo and run it as a local service and jus point to that.
