Cloud Detours is an architecture \ framework that aims on providing support to migrate web application into Cloud Environments.

The following components are mandatory to build up Detours:

• Java;
• Python;
• Apache Libcloud;
• ZeroMQ and its bidings to Java \ Python;
• Gradle.

You can use any method you want to install java. I've installed java8 as described in Webupd8.

I'm currently using Python3 installed from Ubuntu 14.04 canonical sources.

You can have this through PIP3 or you can also install it through Ubuntu sources. I just installed python3-libcloud .

You can install it from Ubuntu sources (libzmq3 and libzmq3-dev) or download the tarball from ZMQ download site.

If you're using the tarball just follow the instructions from INSTALL file and you're going to get it good.

In order to have Java bindings installed, just download the sources and follow the usual way to compile it: autogen, configure, make and make install.

Download and extract gradle bundle. After that, create an environment variable GRADLE_HOME and make Gradle available in path:

GRADLE_HOME=$HOME/apps/gradle

PATH=$PATH:$GRADLE_HOME/bin

You can load .profile and check gradle version:

$ . .profile

$ gradle -v
