Setup STARDOG_HOME

The most important piece of configuration to complete before you start the Stardog server is setting the STARDOG_HOME environment variable. This is the directory where all the Stardog databases and other files will be stored. If STARDOG_HOME is not defined, Stardog will use the Java user.dir property value.

a.     Create the directory to set STARDOG_HOME to in Command Prompt.

mkdir D:\Users\stardog\stardog_home

b.     Set the STARDOG_HOME environment variable to the directory we just created:

set STARDOG_HOME=D:\Users\stardog\stardog_home

c.     Copy your Stardog license into the STARDOG_HOME directory:

COPY /B stardog-license-key.bin %STARDOG_HOME%

d.     Optionally, place the bin folder of the unzipped Stardog distribution on your PATH so the stardog.bat and stardog-admin.bat scripts can be used regardless of current working directory

SET PATH=%PATH%;D:\Users\stardog\stardogs\stardog-7.4.0\bin

e.     Execute the provided batch script install-service.bat in the bin directory to install Stardog as a Windows service
