This is a short tutorial that shows how to install Odysseus and how to setup the first time. This tutorial is for persons who just want to use Odysseus for data stream management. For those, who want to develop with Odysseus (e.g. create new operators or extend functionalities), may have a look at Development with Odysseus, which introduces how to import Odysseus into Eclipse.
1. Prerequisite
New: 1.10.15: Java 8 is now the required base!
First, Java 8 (also known as Java 1.8) must be installed, which you can download here: http://www.java.com.
