This tutorial will help you start the system by initializing and
loading NL-Soar on lingserver2.
Note: this tutorial assumes that you are running a csh shell under
Unix. It should be possible to accomplish these commands with other
shells, but the relevant commands for those shells are not given here.
- Set a variable that describes your system's NL-Soar root
directory:
setenv NLSROOT
/devel/soar73/nl2003
- Go to the NL-Soar directory:
cd /devel/soar73
- There is a csh file provided to set appropriate aliases and
environment variables. Source it:
source nls03init.csh
- Three aliases are created:
- nls03wnet- starts NL-Soar without any WordNet lexical
information.
- nls03wnet+ starts NL-Soar with WordNet and additional lexical
information.
- nls03nld starts NL-Soar, loading discourse without WordNet.
- Run the alias of your choice. This calls and initializes a Tcl
agent.
- Source the NL-Soar productions from the appropriate TCL
file:
source ../nls03init.tcl
- You should see many startup messages. After the system finishes
loading, it is ready to accept your input.
