2.1 Downloading and Installing
The first step to getting up and running with Griffon is to install the distribution. To do so follow these steps:- Download a binary distribution of Griffon and extract the resulting zip file to a location of your choice
- Set the GRIFFON_HOME environment variable to the location where you extracted the zip
- On Unix/Linux based systems this is typically a matter of adding something like the following
export GRIFFON_HOME=/path/to/griffon
to your profile - On Windows this is typically a matter of setting an environment variable under
My Computer/Advanced/Environment Variables
- Now you need to add the
bin
directory to yourPATH
variable: - On Unix/Linux base system this can be done by doing a
export PATH="$PATH:$GRIFFON_HOME/bin"

environment variable underMy Computer/Advanced/Environment Variables
