Frequently Asked Questions

Installation

How do I install Kalypso?
Run the 'setup.exe'
For a detailed installation guide: english / german
What is the kalypso.ini good for?

In the kalypso.ini file you can specify additional options:

-nl <<language>>: Set program language (de_DE or en_EN). Defaults to de_DE
-vmargs (arguments for the java virtual machine):
-Xmx1024m : sets the maximum of allocated memory to 1024mb
-consoleLog : activates a log window while Kalypso is running.
Can I use an already installed version of Java? Yes, Kalypso will automatically use public Java version installed on your machine. However, Kalypso will first look for a 'jre' subfolder in the Kalypso installation. So if you want to force Kalypso to use a specific Java Version, just copy it into the Kalypso installation. For example, the setup.exe will installa Kalypso with a bundled jre folder.
What Java version should I use? Kalypso runs with Java SE 7, we recommend using the latest version.
Do I need administrator rights for the installation process? Yes.
What is a working directory and how can I specify it? Your working directory is the place, where all your model data will be stored. By default is is set to the root folder of Kalypso. If you must handle huge models with lots of data you might want to change the location of your working directory.

You can specify a different location by creating a link to the kalypso.exe and adding the following parameter: -data <<path>>: Set the path to your workspace folder (i.e. folder containing your data). E.g. -data c:\temp\eclipse_workspaces\deploy_workspaces

Are there more parameters I need to know of? If you want to keep the temp data from the calculation cores (by default this data will be deleted) you can create a file '.options' in the root directory of Kalypso.

In this file you can specifiy a set of additional parameters:

org.kalypso.simulation.ui/debug = true
org.kalypso.simulation.ui/debug/keepSimulationFiles = true

In order to activate these options, Kalypso must run with the '-debug' option (either specified in the link or the kalypso.ini file).
