Installing

Installing could be done in several ways, differ on your environment, your development preferences and purpose of installing even.

For Use in Production

For Development

1). With Netbeans

Open the Maven project with Netbeans ( Netbeans 8.0 or higher recommended ), do a build with dependencies and then you can Run, netbeans will deploy the application to the Glassfish server.

Netbeans should automatically create the JDBS connections and connection pools, JMS Resources, JMS Factories, etc.
If it is not the case, then have to configure them manually.

Use Open Required Projects option to open the ear, ejb and web projects.

2). Manual installation process

Deploy the OpenDF project manually with following commands.

Maven should be in your system path to deploy the project and use the following code to fix seluth kit dependency .

"mvn install:install-file -Dfile=sleuthkit/bindings/java/dist/Tsk_DataModel.jar -DgroupId=org.sleuthkit -DartifactId=Tsk_DataModel -Dversion=4.1.3 -Dpackaging=jar"

Then do a mvn clean install.

Create a user with "OpenDFU" user name @ localhost that identified by 123.

Check to see whether all the tables inside the OpenDF database is already created and whether they are visible to the user OpenDFU. If the tables are missing use the sql statements inside db/OpenDF.sql file to create the tables manually.

Then use opendf and grant all on opendf to that user.

Building the sleuthkit

1. Open a terminal and change the directory to the sleuthkit directory.
2. Run the following commands one by one.

./bootstrap

./configure

make

sudo make install

Start a glassfish domain and deploy by asadmin deploy "OpenDF\OpenDF-ear\targetOpenDF-ear-1.0-SNAPSHOT.ear" and the default port is 8080.

Should you get any errors when analyzing the files check whether you have the file libtsk.so inside sleuthkit/tsk/.libs and if so add the directory path as a PATH variable.

If u are using bash the command should be

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/your_path_to_libtsk.so' >> ~/.bashrc

Then deploy the OpenDF-ear.

For Just Sneak Peek

1). Using Vagrant

You can simply use the Vagrant to spawn an OpenDF instance on a Virtualbox VM. If you have Vagrant you can charm the vagrant up command.
