Open Source Contribution

[Harsh Kaushik]

Hey , I am a beginner and want to do open source contribution . I read the two documents and cloned the code on my machine and then downloaded Java JDK but got confused after this point in downloading Apache Maven. And I want to contribute to Javascript language so why I downloaded java JDK. Please guide me in further steps.

Hi, you probably need maven in order to build Openrefine
OpenRefine is written in Java, so you need this toolset in order to run the app locally
Once this is done, you will only need javascript to add and run the tests
You will clone the repository, then run './refine' to launch the software, it should fail and show errors if your operating system is missing dependencies (maven and others)

Once OpenRefine is up, you should be able to access it at http://localhost:3333/
If it's not working, the build log probably contains information
Your need to keep the terminal with ./refine openened, otherwise it will close the software

Best,
