Let me try a different spin.
Try this instead:
1) download the latest version of semantic bank
2) "cd" into it
3) type "./semantic-bank.sh run semantic-bank.properties src/rdf"
[don't type anything else afterwards and let the console running]
4) point your browser to "
http://127.0.0.1:8888/bank/"
let us know what you see.
