Creating a project in ClioPatria

You can create a project inside the downloaded ClioPatria directory, but often it is to be preferred to create it in a new directory. Unfortunately, the story is different for Windows and Unix.

Creating a project in Unix (Linux, MacOSX, etc.)

We assume that you created a directory next to ClioPatria. For example using the commands below, but you can of course also use the GUI of your OS.

% ls
ClioPatria
% mkdir myproject
% cd myproject

Now configure this directory as a ClioPatria project by running

% ../ClioPatria/configure

This script creates a directory config-enabled and a file run.pl in the current directory. By default the server is configured to run on port 3020. If you prefer another port, edit the file config-enabled/network.pl. Now you are ready to run ClioPatria using the command below.

./run.pl

Next direct your browser to http://localhost:3020 (or whatever port you selected) and enter a name and password for the administrator user.

Creating a project in MS-Windows

The procedure in Windows is a bit different because it is not very easy to start Prolog from a directory while loading a file from another directory. In a sense, it is simpler:

Double click setup.pl as found in the ClioPatria folder. This opens a standard browse-for-directory dialog. Enter the desired directory and Prolog will initialise this directory with a ClioPatria project.

As of SWI-Prolog 5.11.14, the dialog allows for creating the target folder. If your SWI-Prolog is older you must first create the target folder.

After (optionally) editing config-enabled\network.pl in the target directory, double click run.pl in the target folder and direct your browser to http://localhost:3020 (or whatever port you selected). Enter a name and password for the administrator user.
