Installation on Windows

Requirements

XSpec requires the Saxon XSLT and XQuery processor which can be downloaded from:

• Saxon HE (open source)
• Saxon PE/EE (commercial products)

For this installation the Saxon JAR (e.g. saxon9he.jar) is assumed to be in C:\xspec.

Windows Installation

1. Clone the master branch of XSpec from GitHub:

   git clone https://github.com/expath/xspec.git

   For this installation both XSpec and Saxon are assumed to be in C:\xspec.

2. Open c:\xspec\bin\xspec.bat in your favourite text editor and change the value on line 3 to the location of your Saxon JAR. For example:

   SET CP=C:\xspec\saxon9he.jar
   

3. Open up a command prompt, navigate to C:\xspec\ and test the batch script with this command:

   xspec.bat
   

   The output should be the following usage summary:

   File not found.
   Usage:
      xspec filename [coverage]
        filename should specify an XSpec document
        if coverage is specified, outputs test coverage report
   

Congratulations! You have successfully installed XSpec!
