Trying to install stardog on Redhat 7. So I did this:

- unzipped content to a directory
- ran the export pointing to the above directory

What next?

Thank you,  
Radu

ok it got started by issuing  
stardog-admin server start

- Now do I need to create a user first to be able to login?

Very strange on a fresh install - when I start the server and try to login into console - no matter what credentials I am using - it will stop responding altogether.
