uPortal is now meant to be deployed via uPortal-start, which is responsible for servlet container (ie Tomcat), DB, and portal configurations. uPortal-start deals with the low-level configurations and setup, while letting the adopter focus on the business configuration side of the deployment. However, it is possible to run uPortal without uPortal-start. The uPortal manual explains how.
uPortal uses Gradle for its project configuration and build system. uPortal
comes with a Gradle wrapper if you don't want to install the build tool
(./gradlew in the root directory of the repo).
For a full list of Gradle tasks run ./gradlew tasks from the root directory.
