Installing MoManI

CLEWs Troubleshooting

Hi.. I am using a MacBook Air. How do I install MoManI in order to carry out the hands-on activities and create models? Thanks.

Dear Fouad,

Unfortunately Windows is needed for running MoManI. This was the reason for us to add this strict requirement on the invitation email: the interface is not compatible with other systems. We do not have the possibility to offer support for installing MoManI on Mac. If you have the possibility to get hold of a Windows PC, that would be the best option.
However, I know that it may also work to install MoManI on a Windows virtual machine on your Mac, in case you have one or can create one using bootcamp assistance.

I hope you will be able to pursue one of the two above options.

Best regards,

Francesco

HI Francesco:
I just download the momani v1.10.zip and ran the deploy.cmd.. without any apparent issues.
However when I try to navigate the localhost MoManI webservice at http://localhost:8080/#/models I get ‘Site cannot be reached’.
Most likely it is some chrome proxy or firewall setting. Any pointers in working around this or a way to figure out if the MoMani Webservice is locally running will be super helpful.

Thanks

Hi Francesco:
Please ignore my previous email. I got the localhost:8080/#/models to work. Basically I learnt not to change folders to where the momani is originally unzipped to.

And just FYI, if it helps others, running netstat -an on a win10 command prompt as administrator will show the tcp sockets that are being listened on.

TCP 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP [::]:8080 [::]:0 LISTENING
…
confirm the MoNani webservice is locally running.

Sorry for the chatter.
