I am using SIGAR in a java project with Maven and Spring. I have the Maven Dependency and Maven Repository included in my pom.xml file, as described in this link: http://mavenhub.com/mvn/thirdparty-uploads/org.hyperic/sigar/1.6.5.132

Furthermore, I am launching the program using Jetty (which launches the .war file created by mvn install).

However, SIGAR still won't work. Aparently I also need to install libsigar-amd64-linux-1.6.4.

So I downloaded that file, but now I have no idea what to do with it. How do I fix this? Where do I put that file?

Finally found the solution. I had to download SIGAR from the official source.

Then I had to copy/paste the entire "lib" folder (with all the .so and .dll and whatnot) into the folder "main/src/webapp" of the project, which is used by Spring to store needed apps (or so I assume).

Then after running mvn install, checking the "target" folder and running the newly generated .war file, everything runs as expected.
