This web page contains instructions for installing and configuring CloudCoder on some variety of Linux or Unix other than Ubuntu or Debian. (If you can use Ubuntu or Debian, use the Bootstrap instructions.)

Note that these instructions are a work in progress.

Install the webapp

Log into the server you will use to host the web application. Create a cloud user account, which is the user under which the webapp will run. For example, using the useradd command:

sudo useradd cloud

Switch over to running as the cloud user:

sudo su cloud
cd /home/cloud

Create a webapp directory under the cloud user's home directory and navigate into it:

mkdir -p webapp
cd webapp

Download the latest version of the CloudCoder webapp:

wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/cloudcoder-binaries/LATEST
wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/cloudcoder-binaries/cloudcoderApp-`cat LATEST`.jar
