Newbie: Starting RapidMiner from Command Line
Original message from SourceForge forum at http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2042410&;forum_id=390413
I need to start RapidMiner from the command line, but I can't get it to load and run the referenced XML file. For example, if I type "rapidminer 03_XValidation_Numerical.xml", IAW with the documentation, the GUI loads but the nothing else happens. When I check the xml it is empty, i.e.
<operator name="Root" class="Process" expanded="yes">
</operator>
I have "RapidMiner" installed in the "C:\Program Files\Rapid-I\RapidMiner-4.1" dir and the sample files installed in the "C:\Program Files\Rapid-I\RapidMiner-4.1\sample" dir. I'm using XP and I updated the path. Any ideas on what I need type on the command line to get the xml file to run?
Thank you in advance...

Hi,
I just tested this myself on Windows XP by going into the scripts directory and typing
rapidminer ../sample/04_Validation/03_XValidation_Numerical.xml
and it works. The output looks like this:
C:\home\ingo\workspace\yale\scripts>rapidminer ../sample/04_Validation/03_XVali

RAPIDMINER_HOME is not set. Trying the directory 'C:\home\ingo\workspace\yale\s

I am hence assuming there is something wrong with your path settings...

Answer by topic starter:
Thank you very much for your prompt response and taking the time to answer such a newbie question. After reading your post I was able run Rapid Miner from the command line and it now works perfectly from the scripts directory. However, after updating my path settings, if I try to run Rapid Miner on Windows XP using the "START" >> "RUN" function, I still need to explicitly write the path, i.e.
"C:\Program Files\Rapid-I\RapidMiner-4.1\scripts\rapidminer" ..\sample\04_Validation\03_XValidation_Numerical.xml
Although I still can't rule out a problem with my path settings (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Rapid-I\RapidMiner-4.1" & "C:\Program Files\Rapid-I\RapidMiner-4.1\scripts"), but thats just a minor issue since the program works fine.
Thanks again for your great support...
Answer by Steffen:
Hello
just a suggestion:
"updating my path settings" => I guess you refer to the path in system->environment etc.
As far as I know,the windows path dont like blanks => (Program Files)
