kale is a command line tool for provisioning and configuring the IBM Watson Retrieve and Rank Service and the IBM Watson Document Conversion Service.

Download the kale tool from our releases.

Recommendation: create a short alias to setup a command named kale.

On Linux, OSX and other Unix-style systems, the alias command can be used like this:

alias kale="java -jar /full/path/to/kale-1.3.0-standalone.jar"

And on Windows, the doskey command can be used like this:

doskey kale=java -jar C:\full\path\to\kale-1.3.0-standalone.jar $*

Now the kale command should be available. Try:

kale help

Get the Leiningen tool, lein, from http://leiningen.org/, and put it on your PATH. On Mac OSX, brew install leiningen works well. Most Linux package managers do not do a good job of packaging Leiningen, so please do the direct installation from http://leiningen.org/.

$ lein test

Or, to run the tests and produce a code coverage report:

$ lein cloverage

$ lein run <command>

$ lein uberjar
Compiling ...
...
Created .../kale/target/uberjar/kale-1.4.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
Created .../kale/target/uberjar/kale-1.4.0-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar

Now you can run the tool with a simple java command line:

$ java -jar target/uberjar/kale-1.4.0-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar

To make running kale easier, it's recommended that you create an alias (see instructions under "Setup and run").
