Short answers: yes, we all use ubuntu and flavors thereof. there are maybe a dozen or so dependencies; I thought they were clearly spelled out in the README's. Yes, I suppose it might take a while to install. The ocpkg is supposed to simplify that.
On the other hand, its kind of like an entrance exam: if you can't jump over the first hurdle, you will fall over the next one, and there are many hurdles. Some companies do this to new-hires: the boss says "here's your new computer. Come back in a week when you're done installing" and it you can't do it in a week, they get worried. If you do it in a day, they start asking questions. There are many docker files in various states of disrepair. Opencog is not one thing: it has many parts/pieces. The atomspace is a foundational piece, most things are built on top of it. Work through the examples/tutorials in the /examples directory. --linas On Thu, Feb 28, 2019 at 6:56 PM JRTA <[email protected]> wrote: > Just looked it up thanks. So are you using ubuntu?
