Getting Started

Installing Hazelcast

It is more than simple to start enjoying Hazelcast:

  • Download hazelcast-<version>.zip from www.hazelcast.org.

  • Unzip hazelcast-<version>.zip file.

  • Add hazelcast-<version>.jar file into your classpath.

That is all.

Alternatively, Hazelcast can be found in standard Maven repositories. So, if your project uses Maven, you do not need to add additional repositories to your pom.xml. Just add the following lines to pom.xml:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.hazelcast</groupId>
        <artifactId>hazelcast</artifactId>
        <version>3.3</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>
