Visualbox is a simplified edition of LODSPeaKr focused on allowing people to create visualizations using Linked Data.
Simply go to your web server root directory (e.g., /var/www/visualizations) and run
bash < <(curl -sL http://visualbox.org/install)
You will be required to answer 3 questions:
- What is the location of visualbox? If you are running the script in
/var/www/visualizationsit is highly likely it will behttp://localhost/visualizationsorhttp://yourdomainname/visualizations - What is the domain of the data you want to query? For now, you can leave it as the default (i.e., press Enter)
- What is the URL of your SPARQL endpoint? Where should Visualbox look to execute SPARQL queries.
Finally, give write permissions to the web server in visualbox/meta, visualbox/cache, visualbox/settings.inc.php and visualbox/components. This can be done in several ways:
sudo chown WEBSERVERUSER visualbox/meta visualbox/cache visualbox/settings.inc.php visualbox/components- Note You can find the name of your web server user by running
ps aux|egrep "apache|httpd|www" |egrep -v "grep|root"|awk '{print $1}'|uniq
- Note You can find the name of your web server user by running
- Alternatively you can run
chdmod -R 777 visualbox/meta visualbox/cache visualbox/settings.inc.php visualbox/componentsbut this is highly discouraged
Now you can go to http://localhost/visualizations and you should see the welcome page. You can check now How to create a new visualization
