How to download / install Felix?

Hi,

I just want to download and install Felix, but I'm running into broken 
links and missing packages:

[1] https://felix.apache.org/documentation/getting-started.html
     (a) The "Downloads" link in the list does not work for me.
     (b) The "Downloads" link from navigation leads me e.g. to 
"http://mirror.yannic-bonenberger.com/apache/" or any other mirror with 
the same directory structure.
First: The link points to the parent directory.
Second: From the description, there should be some file 
"felix-framework-*.zip". Instead, there's a bunch of jar files without 
any documentation.
Third: There's a file "apache-felix-karaf-1.6.0.zip" which might contain 
some useful code, but it's not documented.

[2] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FELIX/downloads
     (a) Broken download links, too.
     (b) Mirrors same as [1].

So, where and how can I download and install Felix, and how can I run it 
using the console after installation?

Kind regards
Peter

Hi Peter,

If you go the link I sent below and then chose a version (say 5.6.10 
<http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/felix/org.apache.felix.main.distribution/5.6.10/>) 
from the list it opens a file list. From there just use the zip file 
<http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/felix/org.apache.felix.main.distribution/5.6.10/org.apache.felix.main.distribution-5.6.10.zip>, 
and you are off.

Hello Shawn,

thank You for Your answer! However, the name of the file to download 
wasn't clear, so I couldn't pull it anywhere. Also, I prefer to learn 
Felix before running it in a container.

So, while I appreciate the possibility to download a prepared container 
file, I cannot use it yet.  :-/

But I will remember that later.  :-)

Kind regards
P.

Hi Peter,

I don't really trust the download, pages, they always seem to be a 
little (or a lot) behind. I pull mine direct from the maven repo:

http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/felix/org.apache.felix.main.distribution/

If you just want to get it up and running quickly to look at (and you 
aren't afraid of using docker), feel free to check out my project that 
wraps it all up:

Hi Karl,

thank You for fixing! But I still do have problems:
[1] https://felix.apache.org/documentation/getting-started.html
     This site does not show the correct filename, which leads to 
confusion (I've looked for some file "felix-framework-*.zip, which isn't 
in the directory).
[2] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FELIX/downloads
     This page links to version 4.0.3 (i.e. 
"org.apache.felix.main.distribution-4.0.3.zip", so the link is broken.
Could You also update those links and provide the correct filename, please?

Thank You in advance!

Regards
Peter

Looks like the download link in the list [1] was broken. I fixed it.

If you have a look again (or use the download link from the navigation
menu on the left) you should get to
https://felix.apache.org/downloads.cgi where you can download the
framework with a shell (Felix Framework Distribution).

Thanks for pointing out the broken link!

regards,

Karl
