HiveMind is a comprehensive ERP application for service organizations. It includes a project management application featuring project/task, request, and content (wiki) management. There is support for multiple vendors, multiple clients, flexible billing rates, time recording, expenses, invoicing (AR/AP), payments, and general ledger.
Running HiveMind
To run HiveMind you need Moqui Framework, HiveMind itself, and the components it depends on. Moqui supports a few methods for setup and deployment as described in the documentation here:
http://www.moqui.org/framework/docs/RunDeploy.html
The easiest way to try HiveMind is with the binary distribution available on GitHub:
https://github.com/moqui/HiveMind/releases
If you don‘t have gradle or ant installed you can use this command line to run Java directly:
$ java -Xmx512M -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -jar moqui-${version}.war
Note that with JDK 8 you don‘t need the -XX:MaxPermSize argument.
Build and Run Locally
To get and locally run the latest HiveMind you‘ll need JDK 7 or later (Oracle JDK 8 recommended), and either a git client or you can use the ZIP download link on GitHub.
Java can be downloaded here (make sure to use the Download button under the JDK column, NOT the under the JRE column):
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
The following instructions use the Gradle Wrapper to build. You can optionally download and install Gradle (from http://www.gradle.org/downloads) and use gradle instead of ./gradlew in the example commands.
To download Moqui/Mantle/HiveMind source and build/run locally use the following steps:
Step 1: Download Moqui Framework
Zip: https://github.com/moqui/moqui-framework/archive/master.zip
Git: https://github.com/moqui/moqui-framework.git
From either source you should put the contents in a moqui directory for the next steps. If you use the Zip download change the directory name from moqui-framework-master to moqui. If you clone the Git repository clone it into a moqui directory.
Step 2: Download HiveMind and Dependencies
This is easy with the dependency configuration per component, and the Gradle get component tasks. With Gradle Wrapper you don‘t need to install Gradle separately to do this. The HiveMind component is configured by default in the Moqui addons.xml file, so just run:
$ ./gradlew getComponent -Pcomponent=HiveMind
If you downloaded the zip archive for Moqui Framework this will download the zip archives for HiveMind and each component it depends on. If you cloned from the git repository this will clone all components from their repositories.
Step 3: Build and Load Data
From the moqui directory run:
$ ./gradlew load
This will build Moqui and load seed and demo data from all components into an embedded H2 database.
Step 4: Run Moqui
From the moqui directory run:
$ ./gradlew run
Step 5: Access the HiveMind applications
For the HiveMind Project Management application, in your browser go to:
Or for the admin application go to:
http://localhost:8080/apps/hmadmin

Setup Commands Quick Reference
Java 8 is recommended: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
Here are command line steps for initial checkout, setup, and run:
$ git clone [email protected]:moqui/moqui-framework.git moqui
$ cd moqui
$ ./gradlew getComponent -Pcomponent=HiveMind
$ ./gradlew load
$ ./gradlew run
Here are steps for a basic update:
$ cd moqui
$ ./gradlew cleanAll gitPullAll load
$ ./gradlew run
To access the project management app go to something like http://localhost:8080/apps/hm in a web browser. To access the admin app go to http://localhost:8080/apps/hmadmin.
