Download

You need to download the source code, compile and install both KnoRBA C++ Library and KnoRBA ARE projects. The best way to do so is to clone their git repositories on local machine.

$git clone https://github.com/hkhandan/libknorba-cpp.git
$git clone https://github.com/hkhandan/knorba-are.git

Alternatively you can follow the links below and download the latest releases.

KnoRBA C++ Library -- https://github.com/hkhandan/libknorba-cpp/releases
KnoRBA ARE -- https://github.com/hkhandan/knorba-are/releases

Compile and Install

Let's assume that you have cloned the git repositories all in a directory called ~/archive.

$cd libknorba-cpp
$mkdir build
$cd build
$cmake ..
$make
$sudo make install

Now decide where do you want the ARE to be installed. Lets assume it is going to be a directory called ~/bin/are.

$cd ~/bin/are
$cmake ~/archive/knorba-are
$make

That is all. To test everything works fine, type

$./are start

You should see a message confirming that the Kernel is running. Then, open a new terminal, navigate to ~/bin/are and type

$./are stop

It should kill the ARE instance that is running on your other terminal.

Download Legacy KnoRBA Java Library

This library is a proof of concept and is not being maintenanced anymore. However, currently it is the only implementation with a functional Rational Conversation layer. If you are interested to study this part, you may download the code from Project Kenai website, where it is hosted as a subversion project:
