Visualbox is a simplified edition of [LODSPeaKr](http://lodspeakr.org) focused on allowing people to create visualizations using Linked Data.
[LODSPeaKr](http://lodspeakr.org) is a framework for creating Linked Data applications in a simple and easy way. You can see [several applications](http://alangrafu.github.com/lodspeakr/applications.html) created using LODSPeaKr.
Simplest Installation
---------------------
Simply go to your web server root directory (e.g., /var/www/visualizations) and run
Simply go to your web server root directory (e.g., /var/www/) and run
bash < <(curl -sL http://visualbox.org/install)
bash < <(curl -sL http://lodspeakr.org/install)
You will be required to answer 3 questions:
* What is the location of visualbox? If you are running the script in `/var/www/visualizations` it is highly likely it will be `http://localhost/visualizations` or `http://yourdomainname/visualizations`
* What is the location of lodspeakr? If you are running the script in `/var/www/visualizations` it is highly likely it will be `http://localhost/visualizations` or `http://yourdomainname/visualizations`
* What is the domain of the data you want to query? For now, you can leave it as the default (i.e., press Enter)
* What is the URL of your SPARQL endpoint? Where should Visualbox look to execute SPARQL queries.
Finally, give write permissions to the web server in `visualbox/meta`, `visualbox/cache`, `visualbox/settings.inc.php` and `visualbox/components`. This can be done in several ways:
Finally, give write permissions to the web server in `lodspeakr/meta`, `lodspeakr/cache`, `lodspeakr/settings.inc.php` and `lodspeakr/components`. This can be done in several ways:
***Note** You can find the name of your web server user by running `ps aux|egrep "apache|httpd|www" |egrep -v "grep|root"|awk '{print $1}'|uniq`
* Alternatively you can run `chdmod -R 777 visualbox/meta visualbox/cache visualbox/settings.inc.php visualbox/components` but this is highly discouraged
* Alternatively you can run `chdmod -R 777 lodspeakr/meta lodspeakr/cache lodspeakr/settings.inc.php lodspeakr/components` but this is highly discouraged
Now you can go to `http://localhost/visualizations` and you should see the welcome page. You can check now [How to create a new visualization](https://github.com/alangrafu/visualbox/wiki/How-to-create-a-new-visualization)
