2.2. Kepler installation

Info
titleKepler: local vs. central installation

Kepler can be installed by copying its files to user directory, however we recommend "central" (lightweight) installation. In this type of installation, most of the Kepler sources remain on the public directory and a script will add a mirror in your local directory. The real advantage of such approach, beside sparring some disk space in your account, is that patches and bug fixes (especially for ualactors) are distributed automatically to all mirrors without changing anything to your installation. Of course FC2K actors you are creating or installing yourself will remain in the local part of the mirror.

In order to install most recent release of Kepler you should execute following commands:

 

 

...

title install_kepler.sh

...

  • list_keplers.sh - provides a list of all available Kepler releases

    Code Block
    shell> list_keplers.sh -all
  • install_kepler.sh

...

  •  - installs chosen version of Kepler

    Code Block
    shell> install_kepler.sh [target dir] [source Kepler] [description]

...

  • 
     *

...

  •  target dir      : chosen directory inside KEPLER_DIR

...

  • 
     * source

...

  •  Kepler   : name of Kepler release (list available through 'list_kepler.sh -all')

...

                     - local        : default Kepler (local)

                     - central      : default Kepler (central)

                     - rc           : release candidate Kepler (central)

                     - R#.#/local   : tagged Kepler version R#.# (local)

                     - R#.#/central : tagged Kepler version R#.# (central)

 * description     : chosen description (e.g. 'this is my test kepler')

 

shell>  create_personal_kepler.sh $SWITMDIR/kepler/central $ITMHOME/kepler_central  

This command will create kepler_central directory inside $HOME. If you want to, you can always link it to "kepler":

...

                         - local        : default Kepler (local)
                         - central      : default Kepler (central)
                         - rc           : release candidate Kepler (central)
                         - R#.#/local   : tagged Kepler version R#.# (local)
                         - R#.#/central : tagged Kepler version R#.# (central)
