6.2. Installing SwitchYard on Apache Karaf

When a SwitchYard application is installed, its dependencies will be installed automatically as long as its features file is defined correctly.
You can test this by installing a quickstart application on a fresh installation of the JBoss Fuse Apache Karaf container.
You can also install SwitchYard and its related components manually.
Note
Each SwitchYard component and application is provided as a feature. Packaged features (including quickstart applications) are defined in the SwitchYard features file located at installDir/system/org/switchyard/karaf/switchyard/2.1.0.redhat-630xxx/switchyard-2.1.0.redhat-630xxx-core-features.xml.

Procedure 6.1. Install SwitchYard Manually

  1. Start the Apache Karaf container: 
    ./bin/fuse
  2. List the available SwitchYard features by entering the following console command. If this is a fresh instance, they will all be uninstalled at this point. 
    JBossFuse:karaf@root> features:list | grep switchyard
  3. Install the core SwitchYard components by entering the following console command: 
    JBossFuse:karaf@root> features:install switchyard
  4. List the SwitchYard features again. You will now see that SwitchYard (the switchyard feature) has been installed, along with its dependencies as defined by the SwitchYard features file.
