Hi, Guvnor is an authoring and repository environment not a runtime environment. Please read about KnowledgeBuilder and its related "addResource" methods together with the ResourceType.PKG. You can also look at using KnowledgeAgent but for now an understanding of KnowledgeBuilder will suffice. I also recommend you read about rule invocation, as your example of how you expect operation "rules.execute" suggests you have not read the "Expert" documentation.
