Setting up the Gosu command-prompt tool

The PolicyCenter installation directory includes the Gosu tool as a subdirectory named admin. The admin directory includes the following files and directories:

Path	Purpose
`/bin/gosu.cmd`	The Windows tool that invokes Gosu
/src/gw/cmdline/util/*.gs	Gosu classes for the command-prompt tool
`/lib/*.jar`	Java archive (JAR) files that contain core Gosu libraries

To use the Gosu tool on another computer, copy the entire admin directory to that computer. Ensure that the computer has a supported version of the Java run time.

Important: You are licensed to use the Gosu tool only to work with Guidewire applications.

You can change your system’s path to add the Gosu tool bin directory so that the command prompt can find the gosu command. In the base configuration, this directory is PolicyCenter/admin/bin.

On Windows, modify the system Path variable by going to the Start menu and choosing Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables. In System variables, choose the Path variable. At the end of the variable value, type a semicolon and the full path to the bin directory in the Gosu tool directory.

For example, suppose you copied the contents of the admin directory to the path:

C:\gosu\

Add the following to the system path:

;C:\gosu\bin

To test this path, close any existing command-prompt windows, and then open a new command-prompt window. Type the following command:

gosu -help

If the Gosu help information appears, the Gosu tool is installed correctly.
