Overview
Wagtail uses a client/server process. Both roles may be carried out by the same machine.
- Download the latest version to a temporary directory
- Unpack, e.g. tar xvfz wagtail-x_y.tar.gz
- Alter the installation directories if you wish
- Type one of:
- make install_client (installs the client software)
- make install_server (installs the server software)
- make install_both (installs both the client and server software)
- Alter the configuration files for the client and server
- Start wagenc on the server
- Use clients (Wagdisc, Wagfile) of your choice...
Installation directories
The Makefile contains the variables which define default installation directories. The defaults should be OK for most people.
| Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PROG_DIR | /usr/local/wagtail | The programs and support libraries are placed here. Does not need to be in anyones path. |
| BIN_DIR | /usr/local/bin | A symlink for each program. This directory should be in the path for users who would use the programs. |
| ETC_DIR | /etc/wagtail | The destination for the system-wide configuration files. If you alter this you should also adjust $CONFIG_SYSTEM_ETC in config.sub. |
Old config files
The install routine does not overwrite configuration files.
