This is a P2P-based Web Search Engine
|
|
|

Startup of YaCy:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- on Linux : start startYACY.sh
|
|
|
|
|
- on Windows : double-click startYACY.bat
|
|
|
|
|
- on Mac OS X : double-click startYACY.command (alias possible!)
|
|
|
|
|
- on any other OS : set your classpath to the 'classes' folder
|
|
|
|
|
and execute yacy.class, while your current system
|
|
|
|
|
path must target the release directory to access the
|
|
|
|
|
configuration files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then start using YaCy with the applications on-line interface:
|
|
|
|
|
browse to http://localhost:8080 where you can see your personal
|
|
|
|
|
search, configuration and administration interface.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to use the proxy, simply configure your internet connection
|
|
|
|
|
to use YaCy at port 8080. You can also change the default proxy port.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you like to use YaCy not as proxy but only as distributed
|
|
|
|
|
crawling/search engine, you can do so.
|
|
|
|
|
Start crawling at the 'Index Creation' menu point.
