NAME

XAS::Docs::Model::Installation - how to install the data abstraction layer

XAS is middleware for datacenter operations. It provides standardized methods, modules and philosophy for constructing applications typically used to manage a datacenter. This system is based on production level code.

GETTING THE CODE

Since the code repository is git based, you can use the following commands:

    # mkdir XAS-Model
    # cd XAS-Model
    # git init
    # git pull http://scm.kesteb.us/git/XAS-Model master

Or you can download the code from CPAN in the following manner:

    # cpan -g XAS-Model
    # tar -xvf XAS-Model-0.01.tar.gz
    # cd XAS-Model-0.01

When done, the following commands are run from that directory.

INSTALLATION

On Unix like systems, using pure Perl, run the following commands:

    # perl Build.PL --installdirs site
    # ./Build
    # ./Build test
    # ./Build install

If you are DEB based, Debian build files have been provided. If you have a Debian build environment, then you can do the following:

    # debian/rules build
    # debian/rules clean
    # dpkg -i ../libxas-model-perl_0.01-1_all.deb

If you are RPM based, a spec file has been included. If you have a rpm build environment, then you can do the following:

    # perl Build.PL
    # ./Build --installdirs vendor
    # ./Build test
    # ./Build dist
    # rpmbuild -ta XAS-Model-0.01.tar.gz
    # cd ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch
    # yum --nogpgcheck localinstall perl-XAS-Model-0.01-1.noarch.rpm

Each of these installation methods will overlay the local file system and tries to follow Debian standards for file layout and package installation.

On Windows, do the following:

    > perl Build.PL
    > Build
    > Build test
    > Build install

It is recommended that you use Strawberry Perl, ActiveState Perl doesn't have all of the necessary modules available.

WARNING

    Not all of the Perl modules have been included to make the software 
    run. You may need to load additional CPAN modules. How you do this,
    is dependent on how you manage your systems. This software requires 
    Perl 5.8.8 or higher to operate.

SUPPORT AND DOCUMENTATION

After installing, you can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command.

    perldoc XAS-Model
