On this page you find install instructions for Alida in Java.
For information about the C++ implementation refer to the C++ page to be found here.
Installing and Using Alida's Java version
There are different ways how to get and install Alida which are listed and explained below. Just select the option fitting to your needs and follow the instructions.
Trying Alida: Alida's binary distribution
If you would like to see how Alida, its operator runners and Grappa work the easiest is to download and run its binary distribution from the Maven repository server: Alida 2.7 on Maven repository server
Download the binary zip archive from the Artifacts section and extract the zip file to a directory of your choice.
Then change to that directory of the extracted files.
You can start Grappa (on Linux systems) using
tcsh ./runAlida.tcsh
or
bash ./runAlida.bash
If you grant execute permissions to these scripts you can start them directly, e.g.
./runAlida.tcsh
If you in addition modify the variable ALIDA_HOME in these scripts you can start them from any directory.
To run the graphical user interface to configure and start operators you may use
./runAlida.tcsh guioprunner
The command line interface is invoked, e.g., via
./runAlida.tcsh oprunner -h
which displays the help message.
Using Alida as a library in your own code
For using Alida as a library in your own code the most easy way to fulfill all requirements and dependencies is to use Maven.
Since Alida version 2.4 we offer a template Maven project which you can use as a starting point for your work:
- Maven-Template Project: zip
Just unzip the archive to a directory of your choice and follow the instructions in the README file included.
The project already defines all repositories and dependencies required to use Alida's functionality.
Building Alida from the Github sources and Contributing
If you would like to build Alida by yourself, e.g., for modifying or extending core functionality you should build and install Alida from the Github sources.
To this end follow the instructions below:
- clone Alida's repository on Github:
