A decentralized, federated and distributed framework for the materials design community.

To build the MatOnto source code, you must have the following software and tools installed.

Clone the MatOnto project from git and navigate to that directory on your machine. Run the following command to build the source:

mvn clean install

The build creates the MatOnto distribution as both a .tar.gz file and a .zip file in the org.matonto.distribution/target directory. Extract one of the files and navigate into that directory.

Inside the extracted distribution directory, start up the MatOnto Karaf instance. The distribution is configured to automatically deploy the required bundles and services to the runtime using Karaf features. To start the runtime, simply open the command line interface and run the start script.

For Unix/Linux:

bin/start

or for Windows:

bin\start.bat

The MatOnto web application should now be accessible at https://localhost:8443/matonto/index.html.

To stop the server, use the respective stop scripts.

To prepare MatOnto for a release (non-snapshot) build, run the build using the release-build profile, i.e:

mvn clean install -P release-build

The release-build profile will minify the web resources and prepare karaf scripts to use release versions.

Integration tests are controlled by the skipITs system property and are disabled by default. To run integration tests as part of the build, set the property to false:

mvn clean install -DskipITs=false
