JDK

[MMariaJ]

Hi Alex,

I had the same issue as zeeshansayyed when running MPEDS on a Windows system- I'm using Git Bash. From reading the previous thread, however, I can't tell if the issue has been resolved.

Would you know something I can try? I'm hoping to use MPEDS for my dissertation.

Thanks.

I think the issue with the JDK has been resolved. CLIFF needs the JDK to run.

To get it started without geolocation, you could try commenting out

mpeds/docker-compose.yml

Lines 3 to 7 in 73d9fe9

	cliff:
	image: cliff:2.3.0
	build: ./cliff
	ports:
	- "8080:8080"

and

mpeds/docker-compose.yml

Lines 11 to 12 in 73d9fe9

	depends_on:
	- cliff

@rahulbot has made it really easy to set up a CLIFF container too: https://github.com/mediacloud/cliff-docker, so after you set those up, you could change

mpeds/mpeds/mpeds/open_ended_coders.py

Line 333 in 73d9fe9

def __init__(self, cliff_url = 'cliff:8080/CLIFF-2.3.0'):

to point to your localhost or a cloud VM.

Hi Alex.

Thanks a lot for your reply. I've managed to connect mpeds with rahulbot's cliff. However, I've run into issues when executing example-lexisnexis.py. Do you have any suggestions?
