Go to http://www.opengda.org/downloads/gda/ and download:
- release_8.6.zip (81MB) - this contains the GDA distribution, plus an example configuration.
- GDA_release_8.6_thirdparty.zip (186MB) - this contains various third-party libraries required to build and run GDA.
- GDA_release_8.6_docs.zip (6MB) - this contains the GDA documentation in HTML and .PDF form.
Unzip release_8.6.zip into a location of your choice; hereafter this location will be referred to as $GDA_WORKSPACE.
Unzip GDA_release_8.6_thirdparty.zip, then move the resulting GDA_release_8.6_thirdparty/thirdparty directory into $GDA_WORKSPACE (so that thirdparty is immediately below $GDA_WORKSPACE in the directory hierarchy).
$GDA_WORKSPACE will contain a symbolic link from a directory config/ to example-config. If you are running on Windows, which does not support symbolic links, you should rename example-config to config.
