## Building the Distribution from Source

To build the WSO2 Identity Server distribution from source, follow these steps:

1. Install **Java SE Development Kit 11 - 21**.
2. Install **Apache Maven 3.x.x** ([Download Maven](https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi#)).
3. Clone the repository: `https://github.com/wso2/product-is.git` or download the source.
4. From the `product-is` directory, run one of the following Maven commands:
    - `mvn clean install`  
      _(Builds the binary and source distributions with tests)_
    - `mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true`  
      _(Builds the binary and source distributions without running any unit/integration tests)_
5. The binary distribution will be available in the `product-is/modules/distribution/target` directory.

## Installation and Running/Debugging

1. Extract the downloaded or built binary distribution zip file.
2. Run `wso2server.sh` (Linux/macOS) or `wso2server.bat` (Windows) from the `/bin` directory.
3. To run in debug mode, use the `-debug` option:  
   `wso2server.sh -debug` or `wso2server.bat -debug`
4. Developer and Administrator Console: [https://localhost:9443/console](https://localhost:9443/console)
5. End User Portal: [https://localhost:9443/myaccount](https://localhost:9443/myaccount)

## Running/Debugging the Integration Tests

- Build the product using the steps above.
- Navigate to `product-is/modules/integration/test-integration/test-backend` and run:  
  `mvn clean install`  
  _(This will run all the integration tests.)_
- To run a specific integration test:
    1. Open the `testng.xml` file in the `test-backend` directory.
    2. Comment out the tests you do not want to run.  
       _Do not comment out the listeners and the `is-tests-initialize` test group._
    3. Run `mvn clean install`.
- To run integration tests in debug mode:  
  `mvn -Dmaven.surefire.debug test`
- To run/debug integration tests and debug another repo:
    1. Open the `automation.xml` file in the `test-backend` directory.
    2. Uncomment the line:  
       `<parameter name="cmdArg" value="debug 5005" />`
    3. Run/debug the integration tests using:  
       1. `mvn clean install` to run the integration tests.
       2. `mvn -Dmaven.surefire.debug test` to run the integration tests in debug mode.
