# 5.4.1 Configure the PM Build Properties

#

Step 2: Configure the build properties

The **second step** in the cell configuration process is to edit the **build.properties** file for edu.harvard.i2b2.pm. During this step you need to set the *jboss.home* and *axis2.war.name* properties.

### Steps to update build.properties

1. At the command prompt type the following:

  **Linux Command**

open build.properties

  **Windows Command**

build.properties

2. The **build.properties** file will open. Set the following properties to reflect your environment:

  **Build Properties File**

jboss.home=*YOUR_JBOSS_HOME_DIR*

axis2.war.name=i2b2.war

3. Save the changes and close the file.
