To run the Teiid Quick Starts, you'll need:
Maven 3, if you wish to use the quick start examples
download and install JBoss AS 7.1.1
download the Teiid Runtime (teiid-8.3.0.Final-jboss-dist.zip), and unzip the contents under JBoss AS install directory. The Teiid directory structure matches the JBoss AS structure. Therefore, Teiid is just an overlay and install it directly over the JBoss AS installed directory.
download and unzip the Teiid Quickstart zip, if you want to follow along with the quickstart examples discussed in the guide
If you will be using a client application, like SquirreL, to connect to Teiid, you will want to download the Teiid JDBC Driver. In the downloads directory you will find "teiid-8.3.0.Final-jdbc.jar".
Follow the official Maven installation guide if you don't already have Maven 3 installed. You can check which version of Maven you have installed (if any) by running mvn --version. If you see a version newer than 3.0.0, you are ready to go.
Access to physical data sources such as Oracle, MS-SQL Server, DB2, and Sybase through Teiid relies upon the user supplying their own JDBC drivers in the deployment. Follow the directions specified in this document to create any data sources.
