Virtuoso install & admin

Installing & running Virtuoso for dummies/lazies.
Handy if you want your own local virtuoso copy so that
you don't mess up any real data.

Q So, what do I do?
A Download opensource-virtuoso, put in /usr/local/.
Check that you have the appropriate packages from
the package dependencies list found here.
Follow the instructions in the installation readme,
which basically amount to running:
./configure
make
make check (optional, and takes a while too)
make install

Q Configure script gives me an error?
A Make sure you run configure with the right
flags or that you provide the right values for certain
env vars. More info here and in the readme.
Make sure you installed the libssl-dev libraries.
Make sure you are root.

Q Where did it install to again?
A Default root directory is /usr/local/.
virtuoso-t, the script to make it run, is in
VIRTUOSO_HOME/virtuoso-opensource/bin
(or try VIRTUOSO_HOME/bin ).

Q How do I run it?
A Try running virtuoso-t with -f option from
VIRTUOSO_HOME/virtuoso-opensource/var/lib/virtuoso/db.
(or try VIRTUOSO_HOME/var/lib/virtuoso/db)
That way it can find all the right files.
Wait until you get a "Server online at 1111" message.

Q How do I know it's running?
A If it's running you will be able to see and use these pages:
Sparql query engine
Configuration,etc page
