InstallationSystemWiki

Software developed at the CeBiTec use a special installation system for installing, configuring and maintaining components. It can be used for both installing a production version of e.g. GenDB and also for working with CVS based development versions. /InstallationSystemIntro gives a short overview about the installation system itself and the way it installs components. See /InstallationSystemLayout for information about files inside the installation system and /InstallationSystemHacking for a short tutorial on creating a component.

The following pages gives an introduction how to use the installation system for installing components:

• /InstallationSystemProduction
• /InstallationSystemCVS

For installing application downloaded as a tarball from the CeBiTec web site, you usually do not have to work with the installation system at all. Refer to the documentation on the web site for installation instructions.
