Downloading and configuring the Component SDK

The Studio Component SDK .zip file is available from the Studio Media Pack.

To download and install the Component SDK:

From the Oracle Endeca Information Discovery Studio Media Pack for Windows or Linux, download the Oracle Endeca Information Discovery Studio SDK.
For Windows, the file is EIDStudio<version>_WindSDK.zip.

For Linux, the file is EIDStudio<version>_LinuxSDK.zip.
Unzip the file into a separate directory.

Note: Do not install the Component SDK in a directory path that contains spaces.
Within the Component SDK:
1. Create the following file:
  components/build.<user>.properties
  
  In the file name, <user> is the user name that you use used to log in to the current machine.
2. Within that file, add the following property:
```
portal.base.dir=<absolute_path_to_portal>
```
  The value <absolute_path_to_portal> is the path to the endeca-portal directory for the Studio instance.
  Note: On Windows, backslashes in paths must be escaped. For example, use:
```
portal.base.dir=C:\\my_folder\\endeca-portal
```
  instead of:
```
portal.base.dir=C:\my_folder\endeca-portal
```
3. In the shared/ directory, create a shared.properties file .
4. In shared.properties, add the following property:
```
portal.base.dir=<absolute_path_to_portal>
```
  The value <absolute_path_to_portal> is the path to the endeca-portal directory for the Studio instance.
  Note: On Windows, you must escape backslashes in paths. For example, use:
```
portal.base.dir=C:\\my_folder\\endeca-portal
```
  instead of:
```
portal.base.dir=C:\my_folder\endeca-portal
```
