Egeria - Open Metadata and Governance
Egeria provides the Apache-2.0 licensed open metadata and governance
type system, frameworks, APIs, event payloads and interchange protocols to enable tools,
engines and platforms to exchange metadata in order to get the best
value from data, whilst ensuring it is properly governed.
Building and running Egeria
This git repository contains the core Egeria code and resources. This includes the build for Egeria's runtimes.
The project is built using gradle
. Clone or download the contents of this repository.
You will also need the Java 17 SDK installed.
Then run the following gradle command from the top-level directory to build the code and run the tests.
./gradlew clean build
Once you see the "Build Successful" message, go to the open-metadata-distributions/omag-server-platform/build
directory.
cd ./open-metadata-distribution/omag-server-platform/build
when you list the directory, you will see four subdirectories, two of which are interesting:
ls
distributions
contains the zipped and compressed distribution file for Egeria's platform. This file provides a convenient package to copy Egeria onto a specific machine to run. See Installing Egeria for information on how to unpack this file.unpacked
contains an unzipped copy of the distribution file, useful for running Egeria on the machine where it is built.
To run Egeria on the machine you used to run gradle, change directory as follows:
cd unpacked/egeria*gz
There you will see another README.md
with further information.
cat README.md
