Detailed installation instructions for developers: DevelopingFirstSteps

Prerequisites:

  • Eclipse 3.1.0 (we all use it)
  • subclipse or any other subversion client
  • Java 1.5

The subversion repository is

There you check out these projects, the most important projects to check out are:

  • gnowsis - starter
  • gnowsis-server - core
  • enquire2006 - gui
  • kaukoluwiki - the semantic kaokolu wiki
  • sesame1 - web api for gnowsis

SVN problems

Use Eclipse 3.1 with Subclipse 0.9.105 on Windows. Then it has to work, as Leo develops this way. It should work on all operating systems using any SVN client, though.

Note: If you get this error: Unable to access https://...., unable to access site ...., sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: ...PathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target then you probably didn't say "yes" when you where asked this: Error validating server certificate for https://gnowsis.opendfki.de:443: - Unknown certificate issuer Fingerprint: 57:23:96:60:c7:4e:4b:04:8a:9a:a1:1e:02:59:8a:11:52:0c:6e:97 Distinguished name: http://www.cacert.org, Root CA. So, to fix this, you can either press "Accept permanently" in the right moment or look in this directory for more: <yourhome>\Application Data\Subversion\auth

If you want to do Aperture development:

  • Aperture in CVS: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/aperture login
    • host: cvs.sourceforge.net
    • repository path: /cvsroot/aperture
    • connection type: pserver
    • username: anonymous
    • password: empty
  • Checkout project aperture

Getting it to start

The gnowsis project has the launcher for you.

  • If you have gnowsis checked out - the "run..." menu should have a list of favourites:
    • Windows start gnowsis
    • MacOSX start gnowsis
  • The GnowsisInstaller will show. satisfy it.
  • pressing close. gnowsis installs now silently. stand up, take a breath. think of something positive. notice the new simplicity. tell somebody a nice thing. sit down again.
  • GnowsisProjectPlan - look here to see what we are doing at the moment and what will be done next.
