Download and Install Open Source ESB (Apache ServiceMix)

In this post, we will download and install Apache ServiceMix . Apache ServiceMix is an open-source Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). It can be downloaded from http://servicemix.apache.org/

 

The download link is on the left, accessing it provides a list of several options. I downloaded the full version from the following.

Being a large file, I resorted to using wget to download the file using the command

> wget http://www.us.apache.org/dist/servicemix/servicemix-4/4.4.2/apache-servicemix-full-4.4.2.tar.gz

To unzip the file, we can use the following command on the command prompt.

> tar -xvf apache-servicemix-full-4.4.2.tar.gz

Once installed, cd into the directory and execute as follows:

> cd apache-servicemix-4.4.2

> ./bin/servicemix

That's it! Apache Service Mix is now installed.
