This program is almost ready to use, but first of all, you need to download Maven.
Download Maven from this link.
We recommend the binary zip archive of Maven to be downloaded. Once you have downloaded it and unziped it, keep it in a safe place where you know you won't accidently delete it and add the Maven files to your Path variable. This might sound difficult but it is not, you just have to navigate (through the windows explorer) to the bin folder inside the files you have just downloaded. Copy the path of this folder by clicking in the navigation bar located in the upper part of the window, right click, and copy.
Now go to Control Panel > System and Security > system and in the left side of the window click on Advanced system settings. Once there, click on Environment Variables and, in your user variables, scroll down to Path. Select it and click on edit, then new, paste the path you have just copied in the textfield and save your changes. Now you are ready to execute the app.
Go to the path where you have cloned or downloaded our repository, and execute:
mvn package
As everything in Linux, installing Maven is so easy, just issue the following command:
sudo apt-get install maven
Keep in mind that the package manager (apt in this case) may differ from yours depending on your Linux distro, so you should know your package manager.
First of all is generating the .jar file, for that just use the following command that will clean the target folder (if exists), compile the source code, compile the tests, execute the test and build the .jar that holds the application itself.
mvn package
Now you are one step further to execute the application, you just have to move the .jar created file from the target folder one level up, to do that:
cd target
move Loader_i31a-x.x-with-dependencies.jar ../
cd ..
cd target
mv Loader_i31a-x.x-with-dependencies.jar ../
cd ..
To use the application once you have done the setup, just put the excel file that holds the agents in the same folder where the executable file is and use this command:
java -jar Loader_i31a-x.x-with-dependencies.jar your-excel-file.xlsx
So now you have the application working, congratulations and enjoy it!
Note: the x.x references the release version that you are downloading
