You can use either Eclipse for JavaEE or IntelllJ IDEA Ultimate to make installation. For both, first download the project and save it to a path.

Java Development Kit(JDK): 1.8 or above

[MAVEN](https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi): 3.0 or above

Mysql / Oracle

[Eclipse Java EE IDE](https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/)for Web Developers.Version: Mars.1 Release (4.5.1)

Open Eclipse> *File > Import > Maven > Existing Maven Projects > Next > Browse > Select the path of the project you saved / APIJSON-Java-Server / APIJSONBoot > check pom.xml...apijson-demo > Finish*

In the menu at the right, click libs, right click apijson-orm.jar,click add as library. Apply the same to the rest *.jar* files in libs.

Open apijson.demo.server.DemoSQLConfig. In line 40-61, change return values of `getDBUri`,`getDBAccount`,`getDBPassword`,`getSchema` to your own database.<br/>

static {

DEFAULT_DATABASE = DATABASE_MYSQL; // TODO

DEFAULT_SCHEMA = "sys"; // TODO defaults: MySQL: sys, PostgreSQL: public, SQL Server: dbo, Oracle:

}

@Override

public String getDBVersion() {

return "5.7.22"; // "8.0.11"; // TODO

}

@JSONField(serialize = false)

@Override

public String getDBUri() {

// add userSSL=false for MySQL 8.0+ return "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306?userSSL=false&serverTimezone=GMT%2B8&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8";

// for MySQL not greater than 5.7

return "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306?serverTimezone=GMT%2B8&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8"; // TODO TiDB can be used as MySQL, its defaut port is 4000

}

@JSONField(serialize = false)

@Override

public String getDBAccount() {

return "root"; // TODO

}

@JSONField(serialize = false)

@Override

public String getDBPassword() {

return "apijson"; // TODO TiDB can be used as MySQL, its defaut password is an empty string ""

}

**Note**: Instead of this step, you can also [import your database](#2.2).

In Eclipse, in the menu on the top, click *Run>Run As>Java Application>choose APIJSONApplication>OK*

This Server project needs [MySQL Server](https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/) and [MySQLWorkbench](https://www.mysql.com/products/workbench/). Please make sure that both of them are installed.<br />

My config is Windows 7 + MySQL Community Server 5.7.16 + MySQLWorkbench 6.3.7 and OSX EI Capitan + MySQL Community Server 5.7.16 + MySQLWorkbench 6.3.8. Systems and softwares are all 64 bit.

Start *MySQLWorkbench > Enter a connection > Click Server menu > Data Import > Select the path of your .sql file > Start Import > Refresh SCHEMAS*. Now you should see tables are added successfully.

*Open > Select the path of the project/APIJSON-Java-Server/APIJSONBoot > OK*

In libs, right-click *apijson-orm.jar >Add as Library>OK*. Apply this to all *.jar* files in libs.

In the menu on the top: *Run > Run > Edit Configurations > + > Application > Configuration*<br />

In *Main class* , choose *APIJSONApplication*;<br />

In *Use classpath of module* , choose *apijson-demo*.<br />

Click *Run* in the bottom.

**Note**: After running, you should see APIJSON test logs and in the last, it would show ‘APIJSON已启动’. If it shows ‘address already in use’, that means port 8080 has been used . You need tochange the port. See [how to change ports for a Spring Boot Application.](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21083170/how-to-configure-port-for-a-spring-boot-application)
