Introduction

This page gives generic setup instructions and prerequisites to run API Manager samples.

The API Manager binary distribution comes with a number of samples to demonstrate API Manager's basic functionality. These samples are located in <APIM_HOME>/samples folder. Inside this directory, there are sub directories for each sample. Each sub directory contains the relevant configurations, scripts and instructions required to run the a sample. Each sample contains an APIPopulator script, which drives the API Manager via a REST API.

The sections below describe the generic setup instructions and prerequisites to run API Manager samples:

Prerequisites

• Java Development Kit/JRE version 1.6.* or 1.7.*
• Apache Ant 1.7.0 or later.
• An HTTP client tool such as cURL (http://curl.haxx.se).
• A JavaScript compatible web browser.
• An active Internet connection.

1. Download and install the API Manager according to the instructions given in Getting Started.
2. Before installing samples, there are various libraries to be configured. Run ant by typing "ant" from the you must configure libraries. Go to <APIM_HOME>/bin directory in using a command prompt (on Windows) or text Linux console (on Linux) .
   and type antcommand. This step populates master data required for the API Manager to start up. For example, on Windows:

   

3. Start the API Manager by executing <APIM_HOME>/bin/wso2server.bat (on Windows) or <APIM_HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh (on Linux). More information can be found in section For more information, see Running the API Manager. This will populate step also populates more master data required for the server to start up.

4. Next, shut down the API Manager and run 'ant' inside <APIM_HOME>/samples/Data directory.

5. Run the ant command inside <APIM_HOME>/samples/Data directory. An output similar to following appears:

   

   It executes the UserPopulator.sql, which creates two user accounts as provider1 and subscriber1, which can be used . You can use them to log - in to the API Publisher and API Store respectively.

6. Start the API Manager again and log in to the API Publisher (http://localhost:9763/publisher) using username/password as provider1/provider1. Similarly, you should be able to log in to the API Store (https://localhost:9443/store) using username/password as subscriber1/subscriber1.
