Good morning.

I have installed Stardog and when i try to start server i got error  
C:\Users\SARS\Documents\stardog-7.0.2\bin\>stardog-admin.bat server start --disable-security  
An unexpected error occurred.  
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.stardog.starrocks.NativeStorageKernel

What could I do to make it run?  
Thank you very much.

Did you read this part in the [docs](https://www.stardog.com/docs/#_requirements):

> Stardog is verified to run on Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04, RHEL 7 and CentOS 7, Amazon Linux 2 and recent versions of OSX. For Windows users, Stardog 7 is supported by running within a Docker container. If you require running Stardog natively, please [contact us](https://www.stardog.com/contact/) for support.

So you should use Docker on Windows machine.
