Install the HRM

... From an Archive

Download or checkout the HRM as explained :ref:`here <download-hrm>`.

Unpack the downloaded archive to web server document root directory. This is the directory where Apache2 finds the html and php files to serve.

|ubuntu| up to 13.10

sudo unzip hrm_x.y.z.zip -d /var/www

|fedora| and |ubuntu| 14.04 LTS and later

sudo unzip hrm_x.y.z.zip -d /var/www/html

where x.y.z is a placeholder for the HRM version.

Note

You can of course extract or clone the HRM somewhere else: just add the location to the Apache2 configuration (httpd.conf).

... Using Git

The advantage of using git is that later :ref:`upgrades <upgrade-hrm>` are easy to perform, and all the modifications are documented this way. You need to install git on the machine.

sudo apt-get install git

Then you can change directory to the hrm document root and check out the git repository.

cd $WWW_ROOT
git clone https://github.com/aarpon/hrm.git
git tag -l

In this project tags are used to mark the different version in the master branch. the last command (see above) gives you a list of all the available versions of the HRM. Usually you can checkout the highest version numbers, except if there are certain compatibility issues.

git checkout <tag>

Once the latest release is checked out, you might want to create a local branch before starting to configure the HRM. Per default the $HRM_HOME/config is in the .gitignore file, so if you want to put your configurations under version control you have to modify the .gitignore first.

git checkout -b deployed (optional)
