Netgraph Server Quick Installation ---------------------------------- For full instructions about how to install the Netgraph server, please read the Netgraph Server Manual (doc/tools/netgraph/netgraph_server_install.html). For quick Netgraph server installation instructions, read on this text. Linux / MacOS: -------------- source: Unzip the file netgraph_server_src.zip from the directory tools/netgraph/server/linux__mac_os to any directory. In a shell, change to the newly created directory netgraph/server and type make. (Two executable files should be created: netser and dotser.) Linux binary: Unzip the file netgraph_server_linux_bin.zip from the directory tools/netgraph/server/linux__mac_os to any directory. Change to the newly created directory and check that netser and dotser have the executable flag set (chmod +x netser dotser). MS Windows: ----------- binary: Copy the directory netgraph from the directory tools\netgraph\server\windows to c:\Program Files (so that there would be c:\Program Files\netgraph\...). (Answer 'yes' all possible questions about overwriting existing directories.) Copy the file from the directory tools\netgraph\server\windows\to_desktop to your Desktop (it is a shortcut to Netgraph Server). Netgraph server setup instructions ---------------------------------- Change to the newly created directory netgraph/server. Edit the file config.txt - you have to set at least the path to your treebank (parameter name: dir); the treebank files have to be in fs format, encoded in UTF-8. Edit the file passwd.txt to add as many users allowed to connect to the server as you wish (copy an existing account, clear the second field containing an encoded password and change all other entries to fit a new user). Edit the file coreferences.txt if you want to change patterns on displaying coreferences. The server has to be started on a port greater than 1024. For example, for starting it on port 2000, just type in a shell and in the right directory: ./netser 2000 On MS Windows, just click on the Netgraph server 2000 icon.
