Named Entity Recognition 26.3
Named Entity Recognition User and Programming Guide

# Command-Line Options

This section describes additional parameters that you can use when you start Named Entity Recognition Server from the command-line.

NOTE: Options are case sensitive.

Usage: `eductionserver [options`]

Options | Description
--- | ---
`-version` | Displays the program version. This option must be the only argument. The program ends after the version information is displayed.
`directory` | Sets the working directory. The Named Entity Recognition ACI server starts from this directory. All other arguments used in the command line are relative to this directory.
`-configfile file` | Sets the configuration file name. This option overrides the default configuration file name of `eductionserver.cfg`.
`-revokelicense` | Revokes a lock on the Named Entity Recognition license from the License Server.
`-install` | Installs Named Entity Recognition as a service (Windows only). Syntax:
    -install [-start auto|manual|disabled] [-username username] [-password password]
The `-start` option allows you to specify the startup mode. By default, it is automatic. If you do not supply a user name and password, Named Entity Recognition runs under a local account.
`-uninstall` | Uninstalls the Named Entity Recognition service.

NOTE: On Linux, the ACI server requires the C++ library, `libstdc++.so`. To ensure the server can locate the required library, set the Library Path:

`setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH bin:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH`
