Essential Install Issues
Posted: 21 Jul 2011, 14:48
I am an EA and we are evaluating tools. We are currently evaluating IBM System Architect and Troux. I thought I would build a vm appliance running Essential to throw into the evaluation ring, but I've had a few issues. The VM is 32 bit Ubuntu 11.04.
I've installed all of the pre-requisites including protege. I've installed protege several times trying different configurations. Finally, I installed it as me (not root) and it installed it in my home directory as opposed to /usr/bin or usr/local. I'm not sure this will make a difference. It is protege 4.1 rc5. I've also tried 3.4.7 and 4.0.2.
The real problem comes in installing the Essential project. The documentation refers to a zip file that can be unzipped and moved to the protege directory and tomcat directory. It is now installed as a JAR self-installer, though. When I execute this it wont auto-detect protege and when I point it at the protege directory, I get the message "The file or directory you have chosen either does not exist or is not appropriate." I've pointed it at the install directory and the plugins directory (because I'm assuming it wants to install widgets there). I've tried with my user account and as root.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would like to check this tool out.
