minitage from archive

Deploy the minitage environment and bv.client dependencies as an archive

This archive contains all dependencies needed by the BisonVert client application. It DOES NOT contain the client itself.

Get it

Get your minitage client environment archive here:

• Linux 32bits: http://missing.url
• Linux 64bits: http://missing.url

Unpack it

The archive will drop its contents in the /opt directory. Every files will be installed in those directories:

• /opt/minitage/
• /opt/tools/
• /opt/.buildout/

Thus you will need to have write access in it: do the necessary chmod or launch the archive's extraction as the /opt/ owner. You may just run extract the archive as root, and run chown next or more complex:

sudo mkdir /opt/{minitage,.buildout,tools}
sudo chown -R `whoami`:`whoami` /opt/{minitage,.buildout,tools}

Unpack it:

[sudo] tar -xvzf archive.tgz -C /

Configure buildout for future tweaks

If you wish to reinstall anything in BisonVert client, you will need to tell to buildout where the previous stuff has been downloaded.

It will looks in your $HOME/.buildout/default.cfg file to get those information. Thus, put a default.cfg file here containing:

[buildout]
download-directory = /opt/.buildout/downloads
download-cache = /opt/.buildout/downloads

You may create a special user for BisonVert client, so you won't have any conflicts with your own buildout configuration.

Next steps

You can now jump to the client installation itself..
