KNOWAGE is the open source analytics and business intelligence suite that allows you to combine traditional data and big/cloud data sources into valuable and meaningful information. Its features, such as data federation, mash-up, data/text mining and advanced data visualization, give comprehensive support to rich and multi-source data analysis. The suite is composed of two main modules and four additional plugins that can be combined to ensure full coverage of user’ requirements.

KNOWAGE is now available on FIWARE Marketplace as FIWARE-ready software enabler, being fully compliant with FIWARE architecture and GEs. For more information check the FIWARE Marketplace entry for KNOWAGE.

• Maven 3
• NodeJS 8 or greater

N.B.: You need to add the paths containing your java, node and npm commands to your PATH environment variable: see the official documentation of your operating system.

The main project is knowage-ce-parent and from within that directory you need to launch:

mvn package

At the end of the build you will find all the WAR files at the following paths:

• knowage/target/knowage.war
• knowage-api/target/knowage-api.war
• knowage-vue/target/knowage-vue.war
• knowagebirtreportengine/target/knowagebirtreportengine.war
• knowagecockpitengine/target/knowagecockpitengine.war
• knowagecommonjengine/target/knowagecommonjengine.war
• knowagedataminingengine/target/knowagedataminingengine.war
• knowagegeoreportengine/target/knowagegeoreportengine.war
• knowagejasperreportengine/target/knowagejasperreportengine.war
• knowagekpiengine/target/knowagekpiengine.war
• knowagemeta/target/knowagemeta.war
• knowageqbeengine/target/knowageqbeengine.war
