Readers, Basex772 jar file was installed into a directory /usr/local/basex A symbolic link was created: cat >> /usr/local/bin/basex java -jar /usr/local/basex/basex772.jar In normal user home directory, basex started from command terminal, but the command line options are not active, e.g. 'basex -h' does not show the help file in the command terminal, but starts basex standalone. Also command terminal 'basex -i /path/to/existing/xmlfile.xml' does not open the xml file, but starts basex.

I guess the link was created by yourself and, if run, it starts the BaseX GUI? In that case, the following Java call should do what you need:
  java -cp /usr/local/basex/basex772.jar org.basex.BaseX
You can optionally check out the following Wiki article to see what other startup options may be helpful: http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Start_Scripts Those scripts are already shipped with the BaseX ZIP version, which also includes support for building web applications, etc. Hope this helps, Christian

The link was edited to: #!/bin/bash #exec java -jar /usr/local/basex/basex772.jar exec java -cp /usr/local/basex/basex772.jar org.basex.BaseX This activates the command terminal: $ basex BaseX 7.7.2 [Standalone] Try help to get more information.

Copied the basexhttp, then changed permissions to 'u+x', then tried to activate:

According to the page 'standalone' (http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Command-Line_Options#BaseX_Standalone) basex -h will cause production of a list of commands, but this is not seen: $ basex -h BaseX 7.7.2 [Standalone] Try help to get more information. $ basex -i xmldatabasefile.xml BaseX 7.7.2 [Standalone] Try help to get more information.

Looks like permissions are the problem; the software is not designed to install in a system directory and run using user home directory?

basex zip archive was unpacked into a normal user account. Using the bin directory, the basexhttp server starts normally, as described in the documentation. The error shown above still occurs, when using 'bin/basex' executable.

Hi e-letter, maybe the docs come in handy:

The OPEN command opens a database, which probably unlucky for some ;-), is not a file in your file-system: "In BaseX, a database is a pretty light-weight concept and can be compared to a collection. It contains an arbitrary number of resources, addressed by their unique database path. Resources can either be XML documents or raw files (binaries). Some information on binary data can be found on an extra page." I can once again invite you to work through our documentation http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Getting_Started and some basic XQuery stuff: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/XQuery In addition I'd suggest you start exploring XQuery within the BaseXGUI first, most people find it a lot easier to handle in the beginning. Best Michael P.S. A personal remark: Please don’t get me wrong: it is okay to ask questions, even ones that have (seemingly) trivial answers. Yet: you are a lot more likely to get helpful answers if you leave the impression you at least tried to thoroughly read and make use of the information provided.

Written for BaseX 7.7. BaseX may have changed since: please check the current documentation.
