## Requirements

-   JDK 11 - The JRE alone is NOT sufficient, a full JDK is required
-   GIT

## uPortal-start

uPortal is now meant to be deployed via [uPortal-start][], which is responsible for
servlet container (ie Tomcat), DB, and portal configurations. uPortal-start
deals with the low-level configurations and setup, while letting the adopter
focus on the business configuration side of the deployment. However, it is
possible to run uPortal without uPortal-start. The [uPortal manual][latest uportal manual] explains
how.

## Building and Deploying

uPortal uses Gradle for its project configuration and build system. uPortal
comes with a Gradle wrapper if you don't want to install the build tool
(`./gradlew` in the root directory of the repo).

### Gradle tasks

For a full list of Gradle tasks run `./gradlew tasks` from the root directory.
