Topic: Getting Started with XQuery / Cannot install book code using eXist

After downloading the example files for the book, I followed the instructions to set up the xQuery code with eXist but I cannot get the data to load to the database. I used eXist because there is no downloadable version of marklogic for Mac OS X (the operating system I use).

I get the following error message when loading default.xqy into the browser and
then clicking on the “Load” button – please note that I followed all instructions and did not change any default installation path for eXist:

Error found

Could not locate collection: /pragmatic/code/marklogic [at line 20, column 9]
