Install Strabon

Notes to install strabon on Ubuntu 14.04 following this : http://www.strabon.di.uoa.gr/node/20

** At Installing PostgreSQL and PostGIS ** Install postgresql-9.3 and postgis 2.1 by running (not sure?) :

sudo apt-get install postgresql
sudo apt-get install postgis

** At Creating a spatially enabled database ** These commands must be performed as postgres user. To do so, run :

sudo su postgres

** At Set postgis-1.5 path. ** The installed version is not 1.5, but 2.1, so we run this instead :

POSTGIS_SQL_PATH=`pg_config --sharedir`/contrib/postgis-2.1

** At Creating a temporally enabled database **

We install PostgreSQL Temporal from git (as normal user) :

wget https://github.com/jeff-davis/PostgreSQL-Temporal/archive/temporal-0.7.1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf temporal-0.7.1.tar.gz
cd PostgreSQL-Temporal-temporal-0.7.1
make
make install
make installcheck PGUSER=postgres

Then, to simply connect to your database, do :

psql

** At Download and Compile Strabon, Instead of OPTIONAL: For using also the temporal features... **

Temporal seems to cause some problems with dependecies later on the build... But still we checkout a stable release rather than stay on the master branch. Run :

hg update v3.2.9

** Before Build Strabon **

The maven repository repo.aduna-software.org is down. This causes the requests to time out very slowly, making the build take ages. To avoid this, edit /etc/hosts, and add the following line

127.0.0.1   repo.aduna-software.org

[Not sure] Then, if getting Compilation failure/ Unable to locate the Javac Compiler in:/ /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/../lib/tools.jar/ Please ensure you are using JDK 1.4 or above and/ not a JRE (the com.sun.tools.javac.Main class is required)./ In most cases you can change the location of your Java/ installation by setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable., set the JAVA_HOME variable :

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/

Reopen a shell command.

We still miss two dependencies (why?!) : org.openrdf.sesame:sesame-rio-api:jar:2.6.9 and org.openrdf.sesame:sesame-rio-ntriples:jar:2.6.9, so we download them manually :

cd ~
wget http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/openrdf/sesame/sesame-rio-api/2.6.10/sesame-rio-api-2.6.10.jar
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.openrdf.sesame -DartifactId=sesame-rio-api -Dversion=2.6.9 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=sesame-rio-api-2.6.10.jar
wget http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/openrdf/sesame/sesame-rio-ntriples/2.6.10/sesame-rio-ntriples-2.6.10.jar
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.openrdf.sesame -DartifactId=sesame-rio-ntriples -Dversion=2.6.9 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=sesame-rio-ntriples-2.6.10.jar
wget http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/openrdf/sesame/sesame-rio-binary/2.6.10/sesame-rio-binary-2.6.10.jar
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.openrdf.sesame -DartifactId=sesame-rio-binary -Dversion=2.6.9 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=sesame-rio-binary-2.6.10.jar
wget http://central.maven.org/maven2/net/fortytwo/sesametools/nquads/1.7/nquads-1.7.jar
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=net.fortytwo.sesametools -DartifactId=nquads -Dversion=1.6 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=nquads-1.7.jar

In ~/Strabon/endpoint-client/pom.xml, change:

                            <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
                            <version>2.0</version>

                            <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
                            <version>1.3.3</version>

Now you can run

mvn clean package

And surprisingly it works !

** At Install Tomcat 6.x.x or greater. **

sudo apt-get install tomcat6

** At Start your Tomcat server instead of sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat start:

sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start
