Pre-requisite

First of all, please make sure that you have a working installation of Ant and that it is correctly setup.

Distribution

Once you downloaded and unzipped your Twister distribution, you should find the following directories :

• bin : ant scripts and executables (calling ant scripts).
• conf : twister and twister dependencies configuration files.
• data : twister data (xml and relational databases) will be stored here.
• lib : libraries needed by Twister and their licenses.
• test : twister test set and test processes BPEL descriptions.
• twister.jar
• twister.license

User's Interfaces

Right now Twister is not ready for a direct end-user interaction. As the web service interface is not done yet it needs to be embedded in an existing application. Next Twister releases will include a web service interface, a UI to create your process definitions and necessary tools to administrate the server.

Yet, once installed and setup correctly, two user interfaces can be used: an interface to deploy processes easily and another one to manage your worklist
