"Software" Documentation - Installationsystem - Intro
The installation system is a set of perl scripts and modules that handles the installation of components that make up an application. It provides the necessary framework for setting up the components, configuring them to adopt to a system and to create the runtime environment needed by the application. These steps include:
- extracting the components, e.g. from a tar ball
- checking dependencies like other components, perl modules etc.
- configuring settings of the components, e.g. pathes to certain binaries, access to a database server
- making the component available to the runtime system
See InstallationSystemWiki/InstallationSystemProduction and InstallationSystemWiki/InstallationSystemCVS for information how to use the system for production and development installations.
InstallationSystemWiki//Components gives an overview of the available components, their dependencies and their configuration settings.
