Installation
We recommend to do the installation on the Server. You can also install it on client machines.
Step 1. The above link will download a zip file named NGLWorkBench.zip.
Step 2. If you extract the above zip file, you will get 2 directories. One is NGLWorkBench and the second file is NGLWorkBenchFiles
Step 3. Place NGLWorkBenchFiles directory in C: Drive (in /usr directory if you are on Linux). You can place NGLWorkBench directory anywhere
Step 4. In C:/NGLWorkBenchFiles (For linux /usr/NGLWorkBenchFiles) directory you will find a file named database.properties. Open it with your favourite text editor. And edit the below values carefully
host=localhost
port=5432
username=newgenlib
password=newgenlib
databaseName=newgenlib
Save the file. If you are installing on a client system, then make a note of the Server IP address. For example, if the server IP is 192.168.1.4, then instead of host=localhost put the IP address. Which means the line looks like this host=192.168.1.4
Step 5. Now double click on RunNGLWorkBench.bat file to run the application.
