Weave Setup Guide

This guide is written to provide you with instructions for setting up Weave and to quickly have a visualization up and running. The first section gives a brief introduction to the Weavearchitecture to know which components/ software are required. Then we describe the steps

involved in setting up Weave. The documentation for setting up each software/step is availablein separate documents.

Weave Architecture

_

The above diagram is a very high level representation of our architecture.

For the data server, we currently support MySQL and PostGreSQL. You can use any of these for

hosting your data.The application server will host the Weave Middleware for running the web services. Werecommend using TomCat. Optionally, you can also host the middleware on GlassFish.

( Note: You don’t need to have a data base server or use the middleware web services. If youonly deal with datasets in CSV, Excel files and other delimited format Weave can handle themon the client side.)

Weave is a Flash based software and will run on any web browser with the Flash Player plug-ininstalled.
