# Sonatype Nexus Repository Core
Sonatype Nexus Repository is the single source of truth for all your internal and third-party binaries, components, and packages. Integrate all your development tools into a centralized binary repository manager so that you can choose the best open source components, optimize your build performance, and ship code quickly while increasing visibility across your SDLC.
This is the open source codebase of Nexus Repository Core. This contains functionality for maven, raw, and APT repository formats, and uses an embedded H2 database that is appropriate for small workloads.
For a fully-featured version of Nexus Repository, download the Community Edition binary from https://www.sonatype.com/products/nexus-community-edition-download. Community Edition includes additional format support such as npm, Docker, NuGet, PyPI and many others. It also allows use of an external PostgreSQL database that allows you to deploy Nexus Repository under Kubernetes.

## Build Requirements
Builds use Apache Maven and require Java 17. Apache Maven wrapper scripts are included in the source tree.
### Configuring Maven for SNAPSHOT Dependencies
Following best practices, the nexus-public POM does not include any root `` elements.
## Building From Source
Released versions are tagged and branched using a name of the form `release-{version}`. For example: `release-3.72.0-04`
To build a tagged release, first fetch all tags:
```shell
git fetch --tags
```
Then checkout the remote branch you want. For example:
```shell
git checkout -b release-3.77.0-08 origin/release-3.77.0-08 --
```
Then build using the included Maven wrapper script. For example:
```shell
./mvnw clean install -Dpublic
```
The `public` property is required outside of Sonatype's internal infrastructure.
## Running
To run Nexus Repository, after building, unzip the assembly and start the server:
unzip -d target assemblies/nexus-base-template/target/nexus-base-template-*.zip
./target/nexus-base-template-*/bin/nexus console
The `nexus-base-template` assembly is used as the basis for the official Sonatype Nexus Repository distributions.
