Unzip the download of dm Server to the root directory of a drive (this will avoid possible problems with long pathnames). Set an environment variable %DMS_HOME% to refer to the unzipped folder…

cd C:\
"%JAVA_HOME%"\bin\jar xf \path\to\springsource-dm-server-2.0.0.M3.zip
set DMS_HOME=C:\springsource-dm-server-2.0.0.M3

To verify the installation, issue the command: "%DMS_HOME%"\bin\startup.bat and ensure a message numbered SPPM0002I is displayed. (Timestamps have been removed from this illustration, and thread names and other messages may vary with different installations.)

Unzip the download of dm Server to a suitable location on the file system, such as the home directory. (If the download was automatically unzipped by the operating system, simply move the unzipped directory to the chosen location.) Set an environment variable $DMS_HOME to refer to the unzipped folder…

mkdir /path/to/home/springsource
cd /path/to/home/springsource
unzip /path/to/springsource-dm-server-2.0.0.M3.zip
export DMS_HOME=/path/to/home/springsource/springsource-dm-server-2.0.0.M3

To verify the installation, use a terminal window to issue the command: $DMS_HOME/bin/startup.sh and ensure a message numbered SPPM0002I is displayed. (Timestamps have been removed from this illustration, and thread names and other messages may vary with different installations.)
