Installing Silk Workbench on windows 10?


I am using java 8 on Windows 10 and I have to use Silk linked data integration tool. I downloaded the latest version of Silk workbench from github. I actually do not know what should I do with it. It is mentioned in the readme that the bin folder contains the script for running the silk; however, my first question is that how can I run it from those two files (type: File and Window Batch File)?

The second question is which silk I should use? (Single Machine or Workbench)

The third question is whether Silk has any jar file that I can use it withing my java project or not?


Solution

  • I followed the instructions and ran this:

    ~/Downloads/silk-workbench-2.7.1 ᐅ sh bin/silk-workbench
    Play server process ID is 19752
    [info] a.e.s.Slf4jLogger - Slf4jLogger started
    [info] play - Application started (Prod)
    [info] play - Listening for HTTP on /0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:9000
    

    I was able to open this:

    enter image description here

    I would suspect you can execute

    .\bin\silk-workbench.bat
    

    And it should either complain about Java or work as on my machine.
