Requirements and Installation

Requirements
Semantic Turkey has very low requirements for being setup for work:
- Firefox version 6 or above
- an istalled JRE (Java Running Environment) version 6.0 or above
Installation and Run
The Server of Semantic Turkey can be downloaded from its project site. To run it, you just need to enter its main folder and run (depending on your OS) either the batch script (file with extension: ".bat", on Windows) or the shell script (file with extension: ".sh", on UNIX systems, such as Linux or Mac)
The Firefox client of Semantic Turkey can be installed as any standard Firefox extension in a very easy and fast way. There are two possibilities: either you click on the "install" button from the Semantic Turkey home page in the extensions library site of Firefox, or you download the xpi (eXtension Package Installer) from its project site.
In the first case, you will be immediately prompted for installation, while, in the second one, you have just to drag&drop the xpi file onto an open Firefox window or any Firefox icon on your computer. In either case, a dialog window like the one below will appear: you have just to click on “Install Now” and then restart Firefox.
Checking that Semantic Turkey is working properly
Once Firefox has restarted, you could be prompted with an error like the one below (text of reported exception may slightly vary from version to version...)
this means that the server is not running (or worse, not running properly). Hoping your case falls in the first hypothesis, just remember to start the server (see Installation and Run above)
otherwise, go along with this reading!
