Installing Conceptpower is quite easy. You need to have WordNet and a servlet container installed and you need to be able create war-files.

System Requirements

You need the following software to be installed on your computer:

  • A servlet container such as Apache Tomcat (http://tomcat.apache.org/). Conceptpower was developed and tested on Apache Tomcat 6.0.
  • WordNet has to be installed (http://wordnet.princeton.edu/). 


    Note
    titlemigrating installation

    if you're migrating an existing Conceptpower installation, make sure to use the same version of Wordnet on both servers.



    OS X Mountain Lion or later:
    • Make sure that XQuartz is installed.
    • If you try to install WordNet on Mac OSX 10.8 or 10.9 you might get the following error: 
      When you run ./configure it aborts with checking for Tcl configuration... configure: WARNING: Can't find Tcl configuration definitions and if you try to run make afterwards, you get the error make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. If this happens, make sure that you have the XCode Command Line Tools installed. If you already have XCode installed, run xcode-select --install. A description of the problem is described here.
    • If that does not fix the error, make sure XCode is installed. Then when running ./configure specify the --with-tcl and --with-tk parameters and point them to the Tcl and Tk installations that ship with XCode. It should look similar to this:
      ./configure --with-tcl=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/ --with-tk=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/
      Note, that if you run this command right after you've installed XCode, you might get an error like this: "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables". If that's the case you probably have to accept XCode's license agreement. You can do this by running sudo xcodebuild -license.
    • Another error you might encounter is:
      In file included from tkAppInit.c:16: 
      /usr/include/tk.h:78:23: error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory". 

      You can find a description of how to solve that problem here.
    • For OSX systems Mountain Lion and later the above solution won't work. Instead run Wordnet's configure script and pass a CPPFLAGS parameters:
      ./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/X11/include
