Dashboard setup in non-docker environment

[C0mmander198]

I followed this wiki article that describes how to setup the dashboard. https://github.com/USCDataScience/sparkler/wiki/Sparkler-Dashboard-Setup

I was able to successfully clone the project, create that app jar and run inject and crawl statements against my local Solr instance through spark-submit. So far so good. But I don't get the dashboard working.

I don't have a "sparkler-dashboard" subfolder in my sparkler-ui folder after running the mvn clean install statement (as described in the above wiki article).

There is only a .war file in the target folder. I tried copying the war file to the $SOLR_HOME/server/solr-webapp/sparkler-dashboard folder (and the jetty context file to the $SOLR_HOME/server/contexts) folder. But this doesn't work.

Which folders do I have to copy to the solr-webapp folder to make this work?

@C0mmander198, just to confirm did you also run git submodule init git submodule update before doing a mvn clean install ?

[C0mmander198]

Yes, I did that. I followed the exact steps described in the above mentioned wiki link
