Installation

[Paul Hassinger]

Thanks. Any tips on installation? Everything that I can find refers
to .deb/.rpm installation for the old Enomaly product.

I'd be glad to write up a little how-to blog post for others if I can
get it working.

I was in the same boat. Open the setup.py file in a viewer (gedit,
vi, whatever). In there, you will see what dependencies are needed.
Some are installed via yum, others like 'simplejson' and 'losetup'
need to be installed by using 'easy_install [packagename]'.

After you get all the dependent packages installed, run the python
script:
'python setup.py install'

I'm willing to pitch in on documentation if anybody is interested.

Many thanks to those who have/are working on this project. It looks
like there are really neat things in it.

Thanks, I managed to get this installed. For others, I'll outline what
I did.

I used Ubuntu 8.04 x64

I used instructions from here:
http://trac.nchc.org.tw/grid/raw-attachment/wiki/jazz/Enomalism/EnomalismBeta2Manual.pdf

-Basically, all as root, I installed dependencies:
sudo apt-get install ssh build-essential python-dev libxen3.1-dev kvm
mysql-server libmysqlclient15-dev python-libvirt python-mysqldb
libvirt-bin python-setuptools xen-utils-3.1 linux-xen qemu bridge-
utils

- Untarred the file to /opt/openecp/ and cd'd there.

- Ran: python setup.py install

- initialized the database: scripts/init-db.sh $mysql_root_password
$user $password

- cp default.cfg config/`hostname`.cfg

- nano config/`hostname`.cfg
(Modify the mysql://username:password, uncomment and modify the
ip_addr and base_url)

- scripts/enomalism2.sh start

- go to the machine:8080/ and login with 'admin' and 'password'

Paul,

This is great work - thanks! I did something similar with Debian 5.0 but didn't document it in enough detail and was planning to redo it from scratch.

Ultimately we should really look at making packages for this.
