- Create a directory where the generated reports shall be stored in.
This directory should be somewhere below your web servers
DOCUMENT_ROOT , if you intend to serve the reports using an
IntraNet or InterNet web site.
- Create the directories for the Web-Includes. They must be located
directly below (i.e. "in") the one created in step 1 and must be named
help (for the Online Help pages) and inc for
the code snippets.
- Create a directory for the scripts. This directory must NOT
be below your web servers document root but in a somehow safe place, only
accessible by authorized users. This directory is referenced to as
"
~/scripts " from now on.
- Unpack the archive into the
~/scripts directory. Make sure
to retain the directory structure inside the archive. A safe way to do so
is to copy the osprep*.tgz file to the target directory,
change into this directory and run the command tar xzf osprep*.tgz .
- Edit the configuration file to reflect your systems settings. The
default configuration file is named
config and to be found
within the ~/scripts directory. For details on this step, see
the chapter on configuration.
- Create the Web-Includes. To do so, change to the
~/scripts/install directory and run the mkhelp.sh
script located there. This will process the template (*.tpl )
files and generate the HTML help pages out of them, which will be placed
into the help/ directory created in step 2. Other files needed
there (as e.g. the help icon) will be copied to their location as well as
the code snippets. Optionally set up the
Collector Plugins from this directory.
- In six days G*d created the heavens and the earth (see Gen 1+2) - the
seventh day is Shabbat, and He rested. So get yourself a cup of coffee,
tea, or whatever drink you like, and relax for a moment - your
(installation) work is done!
