Launching the program
Depending on the modules you have loaded, the application may or may not need administrative privilages. To be safe, always launch with those privilages.
Launching on Windows
Currently WILLIAM is run from commandline.
- Open Git Bash. If you're on a production chamber, you will probably need an administrator shell.
- Navigate to the root directory of the WILLIAM software.
On most computers, this is the command
cd ~/Dev/william. - Run the command
./gradlew run -p ControlCenter/.
Launch warnings and errors
When you launch the program, the first window to open will usually look something like this:
Never ignore this window. It may not be important, but you should read everything on it anyway. It contains one or more warnings or errors that occured, in the following format:
MESSAGE
Reason: REASON
File NUMBER: FILEPATH
- The first line is the result of the failure or the meaning of the warning. For example it might say that Camera 7 will not be loaded.
- The second line is the reason for the warning or the failure. For example, the Camera could not be found.
- The lines after that are the configuration files involved. There may be 0 or more.
