Building Grakn

Run the Grakn docker container:

$ ./grakn-runner.sh --debug --runContainer 

When the docker prompt appears, continue doing one of the actions below.

Building uberjar inside the container

It's done from inside the container, or the host machine or even on the cloud.

grakn@c74ed490582e:~$ ./builder.sh --buildUberJar

This process can take a bit of time as bazel builds our uberjar.

Building native-image inside the container

Building native-image inside the container

It's done in two steps and can be run from inside the container, or the host machine or even on the cloud.

Extract META-INF from the jar before proceeding with the build process

grakn@c74ed490582e:~$ ./builder.sh --grakn-home [/path/to/grakn/home] --extract 

Building native-image using the extracted META-INF of the jar and the jar file

grakn@c74ed490582e:~$ ./builder.sh --jarfile [/path/with/filename.jar] --buildNativeImage
or 
grakn@c74ed490582e:~$ ./builder.sh --grakn-home [/path/to/grakn/home] --buildNativeImage

This process can take a bit of time as the native-image building process is a lengthy one.
