For the purpose of this tutorial, it is required that you download and install a simple blogging application. This tutorial will demonstrate testing the blog application using Selenium.

1. We have provided a pre-packaged blog on the Twist download site. You can download the blog by clicking here.
2. Once you have downloaded and extracted the zip file, start the blog application from the directory where you extracted the zip file.

     BLOG_INSTALLATION_LOCATION> bin\catalina.bat run (for windows)
     BLOG_INSTALLATION_LOCATION$ bin/catalina.sh run (for mac and linux)
   

3. Once Tomcat starts up, pointing your browser to http://localhost:8080/blog should show you the blog.

Let us now proceed to Create the Selenium project.
