FarCry Express: Ready to Run Install

November 24 2011, 8:45 PM  by Geoff Bowers

 

FarCry Express is a "ready to run" installation of the latest FarCry 6.1 code base and the brand spanking new Fandango theme. So now you have no excuse for not checking out the latest FarCry code base!

http://org.farcrycore.s3.amazonaws.com/express/farcry-express-111125.zip

Express is not a production ready environment, but its a lot of fun to get a handle on the FarCry caper, run a few tests, do some training or just toy with an idea.  The install runs a Railo Express instance from the folder -- everything is contained in the one little directory branch. To uninstall or start a-fresh, just delete the folder and you're done. It even works on a USB!

Am working on a massive revamp of the FarCry Developer Course, and its going to be cool to distribute the courseware as a little "ready to run" install, complete with solution.  Plus we'll be releasing regular alpha's for the upcoming 6.2 so more folks can give us much needed feedback without having to maintain their own local installation.

Enjoy!

Update
There are more recent versions of the Express build available in the ./express folder on http://farcrycore.org/builds

    might be a stupid question, but I started FarCry espress and I don't know how to access it. It doesn't say anything about that in the readme file .. So .. How do I access it in the browser? Tryed localhost/webroot with and without port 8887

    There should be a relevant README in each folder root. Once Railo Express is started you would access the site on http://localhost:8888
