[erlang-questions] Beginner questions

[OJ Reeves]

Bob,

I just went through the instructions that were listed in the README.txt:


STARTING POINT
--------------
>From inside Erlang.
1. %%%%Compilation%%%%
	make:all().
2. %%%%Initialize All Databases%%%%
	First create a folder called “benchmarks”, the system expects it to
exist, and writes files to it when performing benchmarks.
	polis:create(). % This creates the database
3. %%%%Start The Polis Databases%%%%
	polis:start(). % This starts the polis process, the whole thing, the
infrastructure (it runs the scapes...)
4. At this point you can summon NN based agents or populations of
agents, construct Sensors and Actuators and provide them to the NNs...
This section will be expanded in future additions.



I followed those instructions and the application works perfectly for me.
Did you do the same? I'm on Windows 8 x64.
