This tutorial explains how to install the System Text Development Environment, as well as how to run a simple AQL annotator over a collection of email messages.
The tutorials in this book rely on the System Text Development Environment. This software can be downloaded from IBM's AlphaWorks site; just search for "System Text" at http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/.
The Development Environment comes packaged inside a TAR (for Linux) or ZIP (for Windows) archive. As long as you have a recent web browser installed, this archive should include everything you need to run the Development Environment. After unpacking the System Text archive, all you need to do is start the server and open a web browser. See below for detailed instructions.
Once you have downloaded the appropriate TAR or ZIP file, uncompress the
Development Environment onto your computer's hard drive, and run the
Development Environment startup script. For Linux, the startup script will be
located at SystemText-[version]/bin/startserver.sh
. For Windows, the
startup script will be located at
SystemText-[version]/bin/startserver.bat
.
When you run the startserver
script, you should see output
similar to the following:
[freiss@q]:~/Desktop/SystemText-0.2.0$ ./bin/startserver.sh Sep 22, 2008 11:31:17 AM org.mortbay.util.FileResource <clinit> INFO: Checking Resource aliases Sep 22, 2008 11:31:17 AM org.mortbay.http.HttpServer doStart INFO: Version Jetty/5.1.10 Sep 22, 2008 11:31:17 AM org.mortbay.util.Container start INFO: Started org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler@69746974 Sep 22, 2008 11:31:17 AM org.mortbay.util.Container start INFO: Started ServletHttpContext[/aql,/aql] Sep 22, 2008 11:31:17 AM org.mortbay.http.SocketListener start INFO: Started SocketListener on 0.0.0.0:8083 Sep 22, 2008 11:31:17 AM org.mortbay.util.Container start INFO: Started org.mortbay.jetty.Server@3520352
This output indicates that the Development Environment's server component is up and running. At this point, you should be able to start the Development Environment by pointing your web browser at the address http://localhost:8083/aql
You should see something like this:
Congratulations! You can now run the System Text Development Environment.
