As a convenience it is recommended to create an environment variable that points
to the SpringSource Application Platform installation directory. Note that the SpringSource Application Platform does not require that
such an environment variable has been set. This variable may have any name of your
choosing. The SpringSource Application Platform's documentation assumes that the variable is named
PLATFORM_HOME.
Edit the .profile file in your home directory to
add the PLATFORM_HOME environment variable. For
example, if you installed into /opt:
export PLATFORM_HOME=/opt/springsource-ap-1.0.0.RC1/
From the Start menu, open the Control Panel and double-click on 'System'.
Click the 'Advanced' tab and select 'Environment Variables'. Next, click the 'Edit' button in the 'System Variables' section.
This will display the 'Edit System Variable' window. Enter
PLATFORM_HOME as the 'Variable name' and
the installation directory as the 'Variable value'. Click OK.
