Hi all, I am new to q and kdb+, so maybe it is a stupid question. Is it possible to set up a local server in qStudio or kdbStudio? I have installed the trial version on ~/q/m32/q. I just want to have a IDE for better editing. 

Thanks,

Jian

The trial version is no longer a trial, it’s fully fledged 32bit kdb+ :)

Have you managed to start up q locally? If not just run the binary after setting up env QHOME to point to that location. I can’t remember for mac there was an sh script already in there.

   ./q -p 5000

Will run it on port 5000. Then just add it as a server in studio (localhost:5000)

Hi Jian,

The steps for installing and adding a server in qStudio are given here:

There’s also a link to a video walk through on that same page. Kdb Studio works very similarly.
