Installing from source

Overview

Instructions

  1. Follow the general instructions to prepare for installation from source.
  2. Check out the 0.9 release of the elements module library from ModuleForge into the source directory under CTIER_ROOT. For example: 
    $ svn co https://moduleforge.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/moduleforge/tags/elements/0.9 ~/ctier/src/elements
.
.
.
Checked out revision 133.
  3. Add a new project (example: headlines) to Workbench or choose an existing project.
  4. Create the Antdepo depot for the project (if necessary). Example: 
    $ depot-setup -p headlines -a create 
.
.
.
Calling Get-Properties from the Managed-Entity module for node: localhost
  5. Create a ProjectBuilder object to manage packaging the Elements library's modules. For example: 
    $ ad -p headlines -t ProjectBuilder -o elements -c Register -- -basedir ${CTIER_ROOT}/src/elements/modules -installroot ${CTIER_ROOT}/src/elements -install -description "Elements module library builder"
.
.
.
For more information about this object run: ad -p headlines -t ProjectBuilder -o elements -c Get-Properties -- -print
[command.timer.Deployment.Register: 5.012 sec]
  6. Build the Elements module library from source. 
    $ ad -p headlines -t ProjectBuilder -o elements -c build-library -- -name elements
.
.
.
Building jar: ~/ctier/src/elements/elements-seed.jar
[command.timer.build-library: 10.253 sec]
  7. Run the Ant build file from the Headlines demonstration source directory to setup the installed files and directories:
    Note
    It is possible to override the "ctier_root" property on the Ant build command line to provide a value other than the default of the CTIER_ROOT environment variable. This is useful for creating a minimal "skeleton" hierarchy suitable for release using the "package" target.
    $ pwd
~/ctier/src/elements/demo/headlines
$ ant dist
Buildfile: build.xml

dist:
     [echo] Installing headlines directories and files into "~/ctier" ...
     [copy] Copying 1 file to ~/ctier/demo/headlines/data
     [copy] Copying 1 file to ~/ctier/demo/headlines/objects
     [copy] Copying 48 files to ~/ctier/demo/headlines/cvs

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds
  8. Load the seed jar using ProjectBuilder by giving the following command:
    Note
    You must give the full path to the file elements-seed.jar. 
    ad -p headlines -t ProjectBuilder -o elements -c load-library -- -jar elements-seed.jar
  9. Populate the project with the Headlines demonstration's sample objects using the provided Project XML file. For example: 
    $ ad -p headlines -t ProjectBuilder -o elements -c load-objects -- -format projectxml -filename $CTIER_ROOT/demo/headlines/objects/project.xml
.
.
.
