initialize
This command initializes the Taxonomy Package Manager environment. It creates a cache directory where information about all taxonomy packages is stored. Initialization is performed automatically the first time an XBRL-enabled Altova application is installed. You would not need to run this command under normal circumstances, but you would typically need to run it after executing the reset command.
Syntax
<exec> initialize | init [options]
Options
The initialize command takes the following options:
--network-timeout | Specifies the timeout in milliseconds for remote I/O operations. Default is 40000. |
--silent, --s | Display only error messages. The default is false. |
--user-folder | Use the user package folder. Boolean. The default is false. See below for details. |
--verbose, --v | Display detailed information during execution. The default is false. |
--help, --h | Display help for the command. |
Note the following points:
•Options can be written with a single dash or a double dash (for example, -h or --h).
•Boolean option values are set to true if the option is specified without a value. If the option is not specified, then its default value applies.
•By default, Taxonomy Package Manager uses the global package store in C:\ProgramData\Altova\pkgs (Windows) or /var/opt/Altova/pkgs (Linux). If users do not have write permissions to the global folder, they can install packages in their own user package folder: C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Altova\pkgs (on Windows) or /home/<user>/Altova/pkgs (on Linux)
Example
The following command initializes Taxonomy Package Manager:
taxonomypackagemanager initialize
taxonomypackagemanager initialize --user-folder
