Egeria - Open Metadata and Governance

Egeria provides the Apache-2.0 licensed open metadata and governance type system, frameworks, APIs, event payloads and interchange protocols to enable tools, engines and platforms to exchange metadata and context to get the best value from data, whilst ensuring it is properly governed.

Building and running Egeria

This git repository contains the core Egeria code and resources. This includes the build for Egeria's runtimes. The project is built using gradle. Clone or download the contents of this repository. You will also need the Java 17 SDK installed. Then run the following gradle command from the top-level directory to build the code and run the tests.

./gradlew clean build

Once you see the "Build Successful" message, go to the open-metadata-distributions/omag-server-platform/build directory.

cd ./open-metadata-distribution/omag-server-platform/build

when you list the directory, you will see four subdirectories, two of which are interesting:

ls

• distributions contains the zipped and compressed distribution file for Egeria's platform. This file provides a convenient package to copy Egeria onto a specific machine to run. See Installing Egeria for information on how to unpack this file.
• unpacked contains an unzipped copy of the distribution file, useful for running Egeria on the machine where it is built.

To run Egeria on the machine you used to run gradle, change directory as follows:

cd unpacked/egeria*gz

There you will see another README.md with further information.

cat README.md
