Install
Requirements: You will need an intel or AMD system running linux.
You will need the following packages installed
apt-get install make
apt-get install g++
apt-get install libssl-dev (for the includes, 32-bit libs are here)
-
Run 'make' to compile. (e.g. use 'make -j 4' to compile on four cores)
-
Edit hosts.conf so working-dir is your current working directory, where the 'gb' binary resides.
-
Run './gb 0' to start your a single gigablast node.
-
Access the server with your browser on port 8000 (default port). You can change this default port in the gb.conf file.
-
The first time you run it you will have to wait for it to build some binary data files from the txt files it uses that are based on wiktionary and wikipedia that it uses to do synonyms and phrasing.
-
re-run it after it builds those binaries
-
Check out the Master Controls
-
Click on the inject menu and inject a URL into the index. It might be slow because it uses Google's public DNSes as specified in the Master Controls as 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. You should change those to your own local bind9 server for speed.
-
When the injection completes, try a search for the document you injected.
-
Turn on spiders on the Master Controls page so that it will begin spidering the outlinks of the page you injected.
