This module exposes a RESTful web interface to the AtomSpace.
See http://wiki.opencog.org/w/REST_API for details.
To build and run this module, the packages listed below are required.
With a few exceptions, most Linux distributions will provide these
packages. Users of Ubuntu may use the dependency installer from the
/opencog/octool repository. Users of any version of Linux may
use the Dockerfile to quickly build a container in which OpenCog will
be built and run.
Common OpenCog C++ utilities https://github.com/opencog/cogutil It uses exactly the same build procedure as this package. Be sure to
sudo make installat the end.
OpenCog Atomspace database and reasoning engine https://github.com/opencog/atomspace It uses exactly the same build procedure as this package. Be sure to
sudo make installat the end.
OpenCog CogServer Network Server. https://github.com/opencog/cogserver It uses exactly the same build procedure as this package. Be sure to
sudo make installat the end.
C++ HTTP RESTful interfaces Used by the Pattern miner for distributed processing (this will be replaced by gearman in future releases).
sudo apt-get install libcpprest-dev
C++ template library for parallel programming Used to implement the optional REST API. (TODO: the REST API should be refactored to not use TBB)
sudo apt-get install libtbb-dev
Perform the following steps at the shell prompt:
cd to project root dir
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
Libraries will be built into subdirectories within build, mirroring the structure of the source directory root.
To build and run the unit tests, from the ./build directory enter
(after building opencog as above):
make test
The current code assumes an obsolete API to the AtomSpace. In particular, it does not support Values in general, and assumes that all atoms have a TruthValue (they don't, in general) and have an Attention value (they don't when they are not in the attention bank). This needs to be fixed. Volunteers needed.
