Let’s get started! It will only take a minute
Step 1: All about the Bundle
Inside in the Package
- fullstart.cmd — Starts Leto (server) and then Iris (client)
- start-leto.cmd — Starts Leto only
- start-iris.cmd — Starts Iris only (requires Leto running)
- leto-2.12.4-exec.jar — Leto server package
- iris-2.5.7.jar — Iris client package
At the beginning
- Unzip the ZIP into a folder of your choice.
- Inside you will find a folder named alise.system.
- After the first launch, extra folders may appear (for example, logs, blobstore, leto_db).
Prerequisites
- In order to run the server and the components, Java 21 – Temurin is required.
- Download the latest version for your system here:
Step 2: Launching Alise
All-in-one | Recommended
- Double-click the file fullstart.cmd
- Wait until the Leto console shows the following information:
- Started ServerConnector@…{HTTP/1.1, (http/1.1)}{0.0.0.0:8080}
- This means the server is ready for login.
- Iris will open automatically.
(Note: If one of the components, Leto or Iris does not start, please use the manual guideline which follows)

Step 3: Logging in and out of Alise
