Launching

This guide will walk you through connecting to the AMP Server Graphical User Interface and performing various tasks.

For an explanation of common AMP Concepts see the AMP Concepts Quickstart or see the full guide in the AMP Concepts.

This guide assumes that you are using Linux or Mac OS X and that AMP Server will be running on your local system.

Launch Cloudsoft AMP

If you haven’t already done so, you will need to start AMP Server using the commands shown below.
It is not necessary at this time, but depending on what you are going to do, you may wish to set up some other configuration options first,

Now start AMP with the following command:

$ cd apache-brooklyn-1.2.0-SNAPSHOT
$ bin/amp launch

AMP will output the address of the management interface:

INFO  Starting AMP web-console with no security options (defaulting to no authentication), on bind address <any>
INFO  Started AMP console at http://127.0.0.1:8081/, running classpath://brooklyn.war@
INFO  Persistence disabled
INFO  High availability disabled
INFO  Launched AMP; will now block until shutdown command received via GUI/API (recommended) or process interrupt.

Notice! Before launching Cloudsoft AMP, please check the date on the local machine. Even several minutes before or after the actual time could cause problems.

Connect with Browser

Next, open the web console on http://127.0.0.1:8081. No applications have been deployed yet, so the “Create Application” dialog opens automatically.

The next section will show how to deploy a blueprint.
