You can download binaries and access a trial platform for free at:

http://activeeon.com/register/web-download

To run ProActive Scheduler (server part):

$> ./bin/proactive-server

This will start all components, including 4 local nodes and Web portals. URLs to access them will be displayed in the server's output.

From here you can submit a job to the Scheduler, using for instance the XML files in samples/proactive-examples.

To run the command line client:

$> ./bin/proactive-client

To start a node:

$> ./bin/proactive-node -r SCHEDULER_URL

You can build a distribution that contains all binaries with ./gradlew build (linux/mac) or gradlew build (windows).

This will produce the following archives:

build/distributions/
├── scheduling-XXXXX-SNAPSHOT.tar
└── scheduling-XXXXX-SNAPSHOT.zip
