Download Protege

wget http://protege.stanford.edu/download/protege/4.1/installanywhere/InstData/Linux/NoVM/install_protege_4.1.bin

Run the Installer

sh ./install_protege_4.1.bin

This will pop up a GUI installer.

I chose as my install directory "~/opt/Protege_4.1/", but anywhere will work.

Click through until you are done.

Run Protege

To run Protege, execute

replacing /home/curran/opt with your Protege location.

Set up Protege as a command:

To set up "Protege" as a command, add the Protege directory to your PATH environment variable as follows:

echo "

export PATH=\$PATH:\$HOME/opt/Protege_4.1/" >> ~/.bashrc

replacing the details with the location you chose. Restart your terminal and now run the command (note upper case P)
