Linux system with dev tools. distribution is unimportant MySQL database IBM JDK (Java developement tools) Apache web server (with source) Resin servlet runner (caucho module for Apache) mm-mysql driver for resin / mysql you will need a well-rounded linux environment running with MySQL, Apache, the IBM JDK, and Resin's caucho module compiled into apache. you will need to create a database called "merits" and a user called "merits" with a password and assign rights to that user for the "merits" database. the distribution comes with a schema.sql file that will build the initial tables and default data. after setting the database up and copying the contents of WEB-INF/ to your system's WEB-INF/ directory, and adding the apropriate lines to your resin.conf (example is provided with the source) you should be able to start using the merits system.
