Apparently, the collection /db/addressbook cannot be found. You can create the collection by running a command: bin/xindice ac -c /db -n addressbook For other commands available from command line, please see command-line tool built-in help (bin/xindice --help) or Xindice Commandline Tool Guide [1]. > Am I doing something wrong ?

I would recommend to take a look at Xindice Developer Guide [2] (it mentions running examples as well) and checking source code for examples and command tool.
