 Requirements

All the tools necessary for VIVO development – such as Maven, GIT, code editor, ontology ingineering and editing, etc. – are directly integrated into the Eclipse environment.

It is therefore not necessary to install those tools on your platforms, unless you want to use them outside of Eclipse.

For further information, you can read the Eclipse platform overview.

1.2 Java JDK

An essential prerequisite for the operation of UQAM-DEV is the installation of Java JDK, version 8.

Installing Topbraid Composer

This release (Rev 4) is based on the TopBraid Composer (TBC) software. TBC is an ontological engineering tool. It allows ontology editing, the aggregation of several ontologies and the representation of ontology content in a visual form. UQAM-DEV Rev.4 is based on the technology of this tool.

The installation of UQAM-DEV starts with the download of TBC Free Edition which is available from this link:

2 Installing UQAM-DEV

You can continue the installation of UQAM-DEV by following these steps:

1.3 Setting-up Eclipse ini file

Some parameters must be changed in $ECLIPSE_HOME/eclipse.ini.

Under Ubuntu, replace the vmargs parameters with:

-vmargs
--add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM
-Dsun.jnu.encoding=UTF-8
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.8
-Dosgi.dataAreaRequiresExplicitInit=true
-Dosgi.instance.area.default=@user.home/eclipse-workspace
-XX:+UseG1GC
-XX:+UseStringDeduplication
-Xmx4096M
-Xms640M
-XX:SurvivorRatio=16
-XX:NewRatio=3

Under Windows, you should as well add a vm parameter, providing the path to your Java bin directory:

-vm 
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_171\bin

1.4 Linux xrdp (optional for Windows Remote Desktop)

This optional requirement may be useful for developers who wish to connect to a Linux Desktop via the Windows Remote Desktop.

sudo apt -y install xrdp tigervnc-standalone-server
sudo systemctl enable xrdp
