Building from Source
Building with Maven
While building, you must point the environment variable PORTAL_HOME to
the root directory containing the portal source code.
For example, run a command like the following if on macOS:
export PORTAL_HOME=/Users/ecerami/dev/cbioportal
To compile the cBioPortal source code, move into the source directory and run the following maven command:
mvn -DskipTests clean install
After this command completes, you will find a cbioportal.war file suitable
for Apache Tomcat deployment in portal/target/. It is not neccessary to
install Tomcat yourself, since a command line runnable version of Tomcat is
provided as a dependency in portal/target/dependency/webapp-runner.jar.
