How do I install the Triple20 Ontology Editor on Linux?

I cloned the repository from the Triple20 github repo but I am not able to find any kind of instructions on what I need to do from this point. There is no README file.

What appears most promising to me is to run triple20/src/triple20.pl but unfortunately I get this error:

    ERROR: /home/nick/Downloads/triple20/src/triple20.pl:12:
    ERROR:    source_sink `triple20(load)' does not exist                                                                                  
    ERROR: /home/nick/Downloads/triple20/src/triple20.pl:22: user:main main/0: Unknown procedure: triple20/1

I have also tried running:

  cd triple20
  mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/triple20 ..

but this error tells me that was never going to work:

  CMake Error: The source directory "/home/nick/Downloads/triple20" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
  Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

Frankly I just do not know what I need to do.

This is not my cup of tea and as it is late in the evening where Jan W. is, I will toss this out.

In triple20.pl is the hard coded line

file_search_path(triple20, '/home/jan/src/prolog/triple20/src').

So I suspect you will have to do some editing of the files. Please don’t ask me any questions as I only took a quick look and found that.

Changed this to the proper path and it worked.
