Installation

The following sections explains the installation of Hazelcast and Hazelcast Enterprise.

Hazelcast

You can find Hazelcast in standard Maven repositories. If your project uses Maven, you do not need to add additional repositories to your pom.xml or add hazelcast-<version>.jar file into your classpath (Maven does that for you). Just add the following lines to your pom.xml:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.hazelcast</groupId>
        <artifactId>hazelcast</artifactId>
        <version>3.6</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

As an alternative, you can download and install Hazelcast yourself. You only need to:

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

  • Unzip hazelcast-<version>.zip file.

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