Installing and using ScrumWorks on Linux

ScrumWorks is an agile management software by CollabNet meant for an enterprise and comes in 2 flavors : ScrumWorks Pro and ScrumWorks Basic.

To run Scrumworks on your linux box, you need to install the server.
a. Download the ScrumWorks Basic Linux distribution file from the download site.
b. Extract the file in the directory you want to install ScrumWorks Basic to.
c. Change to the directory that was created during extraction.
d. Run ./setup.sh to configure your server and get instructions for starting it.

A pre-requisite to do the above installation is to have JDK already installed on your machine. However, right now, apparently, Scrumworks Basic only supports JDK2. Higher versions are not supported yet. So, you need to have version 2 necessarily installed for sure!!
