Before starting

Before starting you need to be familiar with the following terms/concepts:

Repository - this is where code resides and is maintained by the developers. In general the guide uses the term repository to refer to a location on a version control server that contains one or more 'manifests'.

Manifest - In the context of Zymonic a Manifest contains a list of files to be installed and instructions to run after install that the installer will use to install the files needed to provide a particular piece of functionality, e.g., Core or Decryptor

Installing Zymonic from Scratch

Checkout the Zymonic code from our repository to a working copy

Follow instructions in [zymonic working copy]/modules/Zymonic/README

Correct as of 04-10-2018:

1) cd to [zymonic working copy]/modules/Zymonic

2) sudo perl Makefile.PL && sudo make install

3) cd to [zymonic working copy]/modules/MANIFESTS

4) sudo perl Makefile.PL && sudo make install

5) For each additional repository desired, checkout the working copy, locate the MANIFESTS subdirectory and do

sudo perl Makefile.PL && sudo make install
  • note the base name (i.e. filename with no directory or .pm extension) of the file in MANIFESTS/lib/Zymonic/Manifest/ that ends with _manifests.pm - should also be documented in the MANIFESTS/README file.

6a) sudo zymonic_toolkit_curses.pl Installer - then select 'Installer -> install' from the menu, populate the manifests field with a comma separated list with no spaces of core, core_manifest and all of the _manifest files identified in 5 e.g. core,core_manifests,medoc_manifests,zednax_manifests - populate the remainder of options as appropriate for your server.

6b) If you do not have curses or don't wish to use it then do; sudo zymonic_toolkit.pl Installer install --manifests [ list of manifests

e.g. core,core_manifests,medoc_manifests,zednax_manifests ]

7) Under guidance from your supplier/developer install the remaining needed manifests, create and config build a system and then build the documentation for it - the Installer/updater command is further documented in the full documentation.
