Quick Start ============================== This guide will show you how to create a `BioTestMine` InterMine instance. You will need all the dependencies listed in :doc:`/system-requirements/software/index` .. note:: Please see :doc:`/get-started/tutorial/index`, a detailed guide to integrating data with InterMine. 1. Get the software ---------------------------------------- Clone the repository :: ~/git/ $ git clone https://github.com/intermine/biotestmine.git You now have an InterMine! The :doc:`tutorial ` goes into detail about the various files that comprise an InterMine. 2. Add a mine properties file ------------------------------ Your InterMine uses a properties file for database usernames and passwords, let's create that file now. Make an intermine directory in your home directory. :: # change to be in your home directory ~/git $ cd # make an intermine directory ~ $ mkdir .intermine Copy the properties file from the git repository to your local InterMine directory. :: ~/.intermine $ cp ~/git/biotestmine/data/biotestmine.properties Now update your new properties files with the values correct for your InterMine. Replace PSQL_USER and PSQL_PWD with your postgres username and password. See :doc:`/webapp/properties/intermine-properties` for details on this file and what each property means. 3. Set up your search index (optional) --------------------------------------- Solr handles the keyword search in InterMine. See :doc:`/system-requirements/software/solr` for details on how to set Solr up for your mine. If you skip this step, your mine will work fine but the keyword search will fail. 4. Build + deploy your webapp ------------------------------ Now run the build! :: ~/git/biotestmine $ ./setup.sh Your build (depending on your server) will take a few minutes to run. Next steps ---------------------------- Congratulations! You now have an InterMine! Visit it at localhost:8080/biotestmine.
