Dear Bruce and other people in the list,<div><br></div><div>I have just installed Demeter from the git on Ubuntu 12.04 using instructions given by Dave Hughes (<a href="https://gist.github.com/waveform80/3959252">https://gist.github.com/waveform80/3959252</a>). Everything went fine during installation but then I tried to start Athena using <i>dathena</i> command from the terminal and I got this message:</div>
<div><br></div><div><span style="font-family:Consolas,&#39;Liberation Mono&#39;,Courier,monospace;font-size:12px;line-height:16px;white-space:pre;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Demeter says: Uh oh! You have requested using Larch, but there is no Larch server running!</span><br clear="all">
<div><br></div><div>Then I installed Larch (with some problems during installation, but that is different story) and again tried starting Athena with the same result. When I tried starting Larch in a server mode with <i>larch -r</i> command it didn&#39;t offer a possibility to start Athena in the same terminal window. Then I opened a new tab in the terminal and just typed <i>dathena</i> and the GUI appeared. Now, I have two questions:</div>
<div>1. Do I have to start Larch server every time like this before using Athena or is there some other solution for this?</div><div>2. I tried Artemis without Larch server running and didn&#39;t get the error message. Is Artemis independent from Larch or are there some problems that might occur later?</div>
