This document expects that you will have extracted the full Tapestry distribution to your C: drive [1]
This will have created a directory C:\Tapestry-x.x.x and, beneath it, several more directories. [2]
The Tapestry Tutorial will be in C:\Tapestry-x.x.x\examples\Tutorial.
Building the Tutorial is quite easy. You first need to download and install Ant, a standard Java build tool. Tapestry is pre-configured to build and execute using Ant.
Change to the Tapestry distribution directory, C:\Tapestry-x.x.x .
Execute the command ant run-tutorial, which will launch the Jetty server for the Tutorial.
Once Jetty is running, you can access the Tutorials using the URL http://localhost:8080/tutorial .

[2] The three numbers are the release number. At the time of this writing, the release was 1.0.3, but this is constantly changing. Simply adjust the actual pathname to reflect the release of Tapestry you downloaded.
