GeoWave Standalone Installer

Introduction

The Standalone Installer is designed to allow a user to run end-to-end tests of the GeoWave capabilities on a personal computer. GeoWave’s primary strength is with massive datasets that would typically require a distributed cluster of computers. While GeoWave supports a number of key/value data stores, the installer only bundles embedded versions of Redis, RocksDB, Apache HBase™ and Apache Accumulo™.

The Standalone installer uses Install4J to build multi-platform installers. Installation requires ~900Mb of disk space and 8Gb of memory.

After you have successfully installed GeoWave, you can proceed to the walkthough demos.

Running the Embedded Stores

Before diving into the demo links, you will need to start up the store of your choosing.
