Install Datashare on Linux

There are two ways of installing Datashare on Linux :

1. install it standalone

2. install it with Docker

Standalone

There is only a package for debian/ubuntu systems (.deb file).

If you want to run it standalone with another Linux distribution, you can download the latest version of the Datashare jar here : https://github.com/ICIJ/datashare/releases/latest​

And adapt the following launch script : https://github.com/ICIJ/datashare/blob/master/datashare-dist/src/main/deb/bin/datashare to your environment.

1. Go to the Datashare's website: https://datashare.icij.org/.

2. Click the blue button 'DOWNLOAD FOR FREE'.

3. Save the debian package as a file

4. Install it with the following command line:

$ sudo apt install /dir/to/debian/package/datashare-dist_7.2.0_all.deb

5. Run Datashare with:

$ datashare -h

With Docker

1. Install Docker for Linux: - https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/centos/​

- https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/debian/​

- https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/fedora/​

- https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/​

2. Don't forget (if not done during the install process) to add your user to the docker group:

sudo usermod -aG docker your-user

If you do so, you'll have to close your session and open a new one (logout and login again). After having logged in again, you can check that it is working with :

docker ps
CONTAINER ID    IMAGE     COMMAND      CREATED     STATUS      PORTS          NAMES

3. Install Docker Compose: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/​

5. On the next window, select 'Save File' and click 'OK'.

6. In your Terminal, you can start installing Datashare:

7. Once installation is done, open your browser and use Datashare at http://localhost:8080/#/:

• download redis, elasticsearch and Datashare docker containers

• initialize an Elasticsearch index with Datashare mapping

• provide CLI to run Datashare extract, index, name finding tasks

• provide a WEB GUI to run Datashare extract, index, name finding tasks, and search in the documents.
