Getting started

[mkschulze]

If you are on macOS and want to use Homebrew to install the Grakn-core check the following steps:
Currently there is an error in the dev.docs when starting up the Grakn server. See below..

The dev.docs suggest here: https://dev.grakn.ai/docs/running-grakn/install-and-run#download-and-install-grakn

First install JDK >=8 either from Oracle or OpenJDK

Then:

brew tap graknlabs/tap
brew install graknlabs/tap/grakn-core

Then:
$ grakn server start

This will give you an error like:

Unmatched argument at index 0: 'start'
Did you mean: export?

Instead it's just:
$ grakn server

This has been reported in the Grakn Discord channel, but not yet updated in the dev.docs.

Then cd in your project folder if you use GitHub CLI:
$ gh repo clone Humans-of-Julia/GraknClient.jl

Then start Julia REPL:

(GraknClient) pkg> add PyCall
(GraknClient) pkg> add Conda

julia> using PyCall
julia> using Conda

Checking paths (needs to be conda rootpath to be used with PyCall)

julia> Conda.PYTHONDIR
"/Users/XYZ/.julia/conda/3/bin"

julia> Conda.ROOTENV
"/Users/XYZ/.julia/conda/3"

Adding Grakn-client via pip: https://pypi.org/project/grakn-client/2.0.0a4/

julia> Conda.pip_interop(true)
julia> Conda.pip("install", "grakn-client==2.0.0a4")

Now test by importing the grakn-client:
gc = pyimport("grakn-client")
