installing apps after an automated install

• assuming your application base is /opt/genapp

• $ {{{$GENAPP/sbin/getapp.pl list }}} will list available apps

• $ {{{$GENAPP/sbin/getapp.pl -h }}} will provide help information

  • you may want to look at this to list all options

• basic instructions to install an app:

  • $ {{{ cd /opt/genapp}}} - this is the base directory for applications and should already be created
  • N.B. /opt/genapp is the typical base for applications, /src/genapp is the typical source of genapp and it in the PATH
  • $ {{{$GENAPP/sbin/getapp.pl -gen SVNTYPE appname }}} - will download and run genapp on the app
  • SVNTYPE can be "svn" or "svn+ssh".
    • "svn" will not allow commits back to the repository
    • "svn+ssh" will allow commits back to the repository, but requires your user to be setup on the repository, please get in touch
  • if all is well the new app should be available on the web at {{{ http://system-ip-address/appname }}}
  • N.B. some apps (particularly sassie2 and somo) require special install of the underlying modules, please get in touch with us directly to get this part working.
    • we plan to automate this bit in future
