Very basic thing about ELKI

Question

In fact, it seems to be so basic but Google did not give me an answers. I have downloaded ELKI, this gave me a .jar file.

Now where do I put that archive/what do I do with it to be then able to use ELKI functions in my code?

I know this has to be really basic...but google does not help me there as everyone seems already to know.

Answer 1

It's a .jar. You use it exactly like other jars, by adding them to your Classpath.

Command line Java: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/environment/paths.html

Eclipse: How to put a jar in classpath in Eclipse?

Netbeans: How to add a JAR in NetBeans

Running maven commands: use a command prompt. This is basic operating system usage.

Answer 2

You can simply add dependency in gradle or maven without using jar

in gradle add in dependencies section:

 // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/de.lmu.ifi.dbs.elki/elki
compile group: 'de.lmu.ifi.dbs.elki', name: 'elki', version: '0.7.1'

if you use maven add

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/de.lmu.ifi.dbs.elki/elki -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>de.lmu.ifi.dbs.elki</groupId>
    <artifactId>elki</artifactId>
    <version>0.7.1</version>
</dependency>
