Download
Distributions
Source and binary releases are available at http://svn.codehaus.org/groovy-contrib/groosh/releases.
A RPM package for openSUSE 10.2 can be installed via the openSUSE Build Service repository http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:eggeral/openSUSE_10.2.
Installing
If you use the openSUSE RPM, just install it and you are ready to go.
If you use the binary distribution e.g. (groosh-0.1.1-bin.tar.gz).
Untar it and copy groosh-0.1.1.jar to your $GROOVY_HOME/lib.
Try the following script to check if it worked:
def gsh = new com.baulsupp.groovy.groosh.Groosh();
gsh.ls().toStdOut();
Have a look at the examples directory for more examples how to use
groosh.
Pre-requisites

Source Control
The Groosh source code is available from the Codehaus SVN at http://svn.codehaus.org/groovy-contrib/groosh/trunk.
Building
Building from the source distribution
Untar/unzip the source distribution file (e.g. groosh-0.1.1-src.tar.gz)
Groosh uses Maven 2 for building. You have to have Maven 2 installed.
Just execute mvn in the groosh directory and groosh-0.1.1.jar gets build
as well as the source and binary distribution.
Building the SVN version
Check out the source from
http://svn.codehaus.org/groovy-contrib/groosh/trunk/
Building works the same as for the source distribution.
