Stardog installation

[rosemar...@rocketmail.com]

Hello everyone,

I am currently tak

ing a course in semantic web technologies. I am supposed to prepare a seminar presentation on Stardog. I have downloaded the software but I cannot understand the instructions in the quick startup guide. Can someone please help me with the step by step process to install Stardog on my system? I need help urgently

What part of the quick start guide don't you understand?

Specific questions are more easily answered than general ones, FYI.

Cheers,

Kendall

Please forgive if am sounding too basic or annoying. I have no idea what to do

Step 1:First, tell Stardog where its home directory (where databases and other files will be stored) is: $ export STARDOG_HOME=/data/stardog

Am I supposed to execute the statement in command prompt ?

[Kendall Clark]

Yes. Everything that has the "$..." in front is a command to be entered into a prompt...On a Unix or OSX system.

Windows is different. Someone else here will have to advise if you are on Windows.

Cheers,

Kendall

You should probably ask someone who can help you to follow the Quick Start Guide and knows how to do stuff on Windows. We're not really setup to give general Windows tutorial advice, much as I wish we could help you. No one here is a Windows user.

Hi,

The setting of a STARDOG_HOME environment variable is actually optional for Windows. If it's not set, the .bat scripts will set a default value of your installation directory (the unzipped Stardog distribution with the bin, client, server, etc. folders). If you're OK with that also being your home directory, you can just copy your license key (stardog-license-key.bin) in there and proceed with starting up your server as shown in the quick start guide. If you cd into the bin folder of your install, the commands will work as shown in the guide.

Hope this helps,
-Stephen
