Step 2a) Starting your own server instance, if a unix-like shell is available (on either lin* or win*).

$ cd .. # return to the root folder

$ ./ora.sh --start # start the server, using default properties. Use --help for more options.

Step 2b) Starting your own server instance, without using the shell script

$ cd .. # return to the root folder

$ cd OpenRobertaServer # go to the folder of the server resources and the database

$ java -cp target/OpenRobertaServer-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar de.fhg.iais.roberta.main.ServerStarter # start
