+###Setting Up Environment
+
+ 1. Please set JAVA_HOME if it is not already set.
+ - Examples:
+ - export JAVA_HOME=/home/user/installations/jdk1.6.0_27
+ - export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin/
+
+###Download binaries or build from source
+
+ 1. You can download the binaries from [Downloads Page][download]/Release
Vote threads, or [build airavata from source][build].
+ * If you have built from source then the binaries will be in
modules/distribution directory. Please look into appropriate target directory
of airavata-client, airavata-server or xbaya-gui
+ * If you are using Windows + Cygwin you need to set permissions on some
files
+
+ 2. Extract the Airavata Server binary distribution (refering in following
instructions as `AIRAVATA_SERVER_HOME`). The directory name is typically
apache-airavata-server-$version.
+
+ 3. Extract the Airavata XBaya GUI binary distribution (refering in following
instructions as `AIRAVATA_XBAYA_HOME`). The directory name is typically
apache-airavata-xbaya-gui-$version.
+
+ 3. Change persmisisons of shell scripts on both server and xbaya-gui bin
directories.
+ * `chmod 755 bin/*.sh`
+ * For windows, there are bat scripts are provided.
+
+### Start Airavata Server and Luanch GUI
+
+ 1. For quick start purposes, Airavata server is distributed as a standalone
server. The server starts up by defualt on port 8080.
+ * `$AIRAVATA_SERVER_HOME/bin/airavata-server.sh`
+ 2. Launch Airavata XBaya GUI
+ * `$AIRAVATA_XBAYA_HOME/bin/xbaya-gui.sh`
+
+With Airavata Server and GUI running, you can follow through the basic
tutorials.
+
+### Configure Airavata Registry
+
+Configure XBaya GUI to use the Airavata Registry.
+
+* From the main menu select: `Registry` -> `Setup Airavata Registry`
+* You can leave all the values to be defualt. For reference here is what you
should be seeing:
+ <table border="1">
+ <tr>
+ <td><b>URL</b></td>
+ <td>http://localhost:8080/airavata-registry/api</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><b>Gateway</b></td>
+ <td>defualt</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><b>Gateway</b></td>
+ <td>defualt</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><b>Username</b></td>
+ <td>admin</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td><b>Password</b></td>
+ <td>admin</td>
+ </tr>
+ </table>
+ - Note: This step will only succeed if you have previously started the
Airavata Server. If it fails, please verify the server is up and running on
port 8080.

-##Tutorial
-1. Download the latest Airavata release pack from downloads link and extract,
for future explanation lets assume the path to extracted directory is
AIRAVATA_HOME.
-
-2. If JAVA_HOME is not already set;
- - add/modify following entries in ~/.bashrc file.
- - export JAVA_HOME=/home/user/installations/jdk1.6.0_27
- - export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin/
-
-2. Now Run the following scripts in the given order below to start the
components of Airavata.
-<br></br>
-AIRAVATA_HOME/bin/airavata-server.sh - This will start SimpleAxis2Server on
port 8080 and with default derby database which run on port 1527
-<br></br>
-AIRAVATA_HOME/bin/xbaya-gui.sh - This will start XBaya GUI application.
-<br></br>
-
-3. Click the Xbaya tab and open up an Airavata workflow configuration (.xwf)
from file system (sample workflows shipped in with Airavata can be found in
AIRAVATA_HOME/samples/workflows)
-eg. Assume that you selected the SimpleMath workflow
-
- * Now Click on the run button (red colored play).
-
- * Then the workflow will get executed.
-
- * Finally the result of the workflow will get displayed.
-
- * Similarly, other workflows can be executed.
-
-##Workflow Samples
-###Basic samples
-1. SimpleMath workflow
-
- * This workflow will hand over the inputs to 4 nodes. Then the
results will be handed over to another 2 nodes which will then hand over the
results to another node. The last node will output the result of the operation.
All the nodes considered are doing addition operations.
+### Description of the sample workfllows
+* **Simple math workflow**:
+This workflow illustrates an example with multiple nodes which can be executed
in parallel. After the first 4 parallel nodes are executes, the results are
passed to the next set of 2 nodes. This example also illustartes how multiple
instances of the same application can be used. All nodes in the workflow are
doing addition operations.
</br></br>
-
+
</br></br>
-2. ComplexMath workflow
-
- * This workflow will hand over the inputs to 4 nodes which are
doing addition operations. Then the outputs(results) will be handed over to
another 2 nodes which are doing multiplication operation. The results of the
multiplications are handed over to another node. The last node will do addition
operation on the input data and output the resulting value.
+* **Complex math workflow**: This workflow is very similar to the simple math
examples, except that there are a mix of both adder and multiplication
operations. The goal of this example is to illustrate how to use different
operations in a web service as each node in a workflow.
</br></br>
-
+
</br></br>
-###Advanced Samples
-
-XBaya support Parametric Sweeps which can be used to tackle uncertainty of
inputs to a workflow. It supports, Cartesian product and Dot product of inputs.
-
-1. Levenshtein Distance workflow
-
- * This workflow will use Airavata's ForEach construct to
calculate Levenshtein Distance of strings. This workflow will use cross product
to calculate distance.
+* **Levenshtein distance workflow**: The goal of this example is to
illustrate the *parametric sweep* capabilities to utilize iterations within a
workflow. The number of iterations are determined at run time based on the
array size of the for-each node. Both Cartesian and Dot product of inputs are
suppported. This example calculates the Levenshtein Distance of strings. The
workflow uses cross product to calculate the distance.

+### Register a simple application
- - Second, we will register a Service Description using menu XBaya ->
Register Application.
- This information is used to describe our web service i.e. service
name, input parameters, and output parameters.
- Since our echo.sh need String as an input and will produce String as
output, insert the following value.
- Note*: output parameter name must be echo_output in order to use with
this echo.sh sample.
+* Register a simple command line application with Airavata Registry.
+ * Click on XBaya -> Register Application.
+ * Describe the application inputs and outputs. As an example, a simple
command line `/bin/echo` can be used for helloworld purposes.
+ * Provide a name for the application.
+ * Click on the panel with "Application Paramaters" and add input and output
paremeters. For an example like /bin/echo, choose output as StdOut.

+ * Provide the executable location, for echo example it will be
/bin/echo. You can try other simple unix examples like /bin/date,
/bin/hostname. Any command line executable can be wrapped as a application
service.
+ * Provide a temporary directory like /tmp. Each invocation of the
workflow will create a unique working directory within this temporary location.

+* The command line application registered in the previous steps is now
registered with the Airavata Registry. Now you have the EchoApplication in the
Registry.
+* Right Click on the "Application Services" drop down (in left pane) and click
Refresh Registry.
+* Create a new workflow: XBaya -> New -> Workflow so you will see a new
workflow panel loaded into XBaya.
+* Drag drop the newly created application service into the worklfow pane.
+* Drag drop the Input and Output ports from Components -> System Components
+* Connect the application services to inputs and outputs.
+
+### Execute and monitor the workflow
+
+* Launch the workflow constructed in previous steps.
+
+ - Run the workflow by clicking `Run` -> `Run workflow...`<br> Or just
click on the red play icon at the top panel of XBaya.
+ - Specify the input value a string to greet and a experiment name.
+ - The Workflow Interpreter and and GFac URL can be left with default
values.
+ - Click OK to launch this worklow
+
+* The workflow will now launch and the **Monitoring** view at the bottom of
XBaya will show you the progress of the workflow execution.
+
+* In this quick examples, the node color pretty quickly. But for long running
applications and complex workflows, the node changes color from "orange" for
not yet launced, to "green" for running and "grey for done". If the application
fails, it is indicated by "red" color.
-7. Now you have invoked the workflow and you will direct in to the Monitoring
menu at the bottom of XBaya which will
-show you the progress of the workflow invocation.
