Starting the server manually

To start the server from a login at the server's desktop, navigate to the <Protege Install> directory and then:

• On Windows: run run_protege_server.bat, e.g. via a shortcut on the desktop.
• Mac OS X, Linux or Unix: from a terminal window, run run_protege_server.sh

Starting the server automatically

Preferably, start the Essential Server via a Windows Service (see Section 11) or configured in the Unix/Linux start up scripts (see Section 12). If the server platform has already started and the Essential Server is not running, start the Windows Service via the Services control panel or run the run_protege_server.sh script as a background job,

./run_protege_server.sh &
