McKoi SQL database is included in STEP FORWARD Server distribution. If you never used McKoi before, and don't have McKoi server running already, you will have to create an empty database by running the following command/script that is located in STEP FORWARD Server installation directory:

CreateMcKoiDatabase.cmd (Windows command)
CreateMcKoiDatabase.bin (Linux script)

Before executing this file, however, you may want to edit its contents, which is initially set as (Windows version):

jre\bin\java.exe -jar mckoidb.jar -create "SYSADM" "hello"

This command, in its default form, will create McKoi SQL database in STEP FORWARD Server installation directory with the database administrator login SYSADM and password hello. If this is not what you want, change the login and/or password. Also, the jre\bin\java.exe part in the command will work only if you installed STEP FORWARD Server bundled with Java. Otherwise, this part will have to be modified to point to the location of your Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

Once the empty database has been created, you can start McKoi server running the following command:

ServerStarter.cmd (Windows command)
ServerStarter.bin (Linux script)

Here is the contents of the file (Windows version):

jre\bin\java.exe -jar mckoidb.jar

Again, you may have to edit the jre\bin\java.exe part similar to CreateMcKoiDatabase file.

Once McKoi server is up and running, you should see the following window:

This window should not be closed. In Linux, ServerStarter.bin script can be run with & flag so that the terminal window can be closed.
