Overview
In order to install Tolven, you must already have followed the prerequisite steps in the Installation Guide.
Download and Unzip the Installation File
The Tolven installer is shipped as a zip file and is platform-independent. It runs on both 32- and 64-bit hardware and operating systems. It can be downloaded from: http://tolven.org/download/installer/tolven-RC1.zip. The unzipped directory is called tolven-RC1 by default and will be referred to as the Tolven software home directory.
On Windows: Unzip the tolven-RC1.zip file to the c:\ directory, for example, and the Tolven software home directory becomes:
c:\tolven-RC1
On Linux:
cd /usr/local wget http://tolven.org/download/installer/tolven-RC1.zip unzip tolven-RC1.zip
This will create the Tolven software home directory called:
/usr/local/tolven-RC1
Install the initial Tolven kit
This step installs the initial Tolven software, which is a bootstrap for the many plugins that will be added during configuration. This step also creates a tolven-config directory that contains data specific to your configuration and is not overridden from release to release. On Windows:
cd tolven-RC1\bin install
On Linux:
cd tolven-RC1/bin ./install.sh
You will be prompted for the following (default values are suggested by the installer):
- The tolven-config directory (by default c:\tolven-config or /usr/local/tolven-config). If you have a previous tolven-config directory, then you would normally reuse it, in order to pick up previous installation information.
Once installed, the configuration directory (tolven-config) will not be overwritten by subsequent installations and upgrades. However, over time, many different Tolven installation directories (tolvenVersion) will be created. You may delete obsolete installations without affecting the Tolven configuration directory. We recommend that you never make changes in the installation directory.
Installation Kit Version
On Windows:
cd <install-dir>\bin tpf -version
On Linux:
cd <install-dir>/bin ./tpf.sh -version
Versions prior to 0.0.1 will not recognize this option, which thus identifies them. The version number may be useful when documentation is referring to functionality which only exists in certain versions.
