Installation FAQ

I try to install Bots on Windows, but…..
  • the shortcut is not installed in the menu: you need to make this manually.

Does Bots have EDIFACT and X12 messages installed out-of-the-box?

No, but you can download them from our GitLab repository either as part of a working configuration (plugin) of separate (grammars).

Bots is not working on Linux - permissions problem
  • Did you start bots-webserver and/or bots-engine with sufficient rights - e.g. the user who did the installation? Change the owner/rights of the files in botssys, usersys and config and run bots-webserver/bots-engine as a correct user.

  • If the log files are not updated, it is possible that you’ve accidently changed the owner to root.
