Unix
To install the Unix version of Challenger, you will need the GNU
tar or gunzip/gzip program, as Challenger is
normally distributed as a tar.gz archive. To install the
source package on Unix you will need an ANSI C compiler. It is
currently not possible to install the source distribution from scratch
on Windows, since the compilation process is quite complex.
Binary distribution
- cd
to the directory where you want Challenger to be installed and
place the archive there.
- Issue the following commands to unpack the archive:
If you have GNU tar:
tar xzf Roxen_1.3.tar.gz
If you don't have GNU tar:
gunzip Roxen_1.3.tar.gz
tar xf Roxen_1.3.tar
Now move on to the section Finishing.
Source distribution
- cd
to the working directory where you want to compile Challenger.
- Issue the following commands to unpack the archive:
If you have GNU tar:
tar xzf Roxen_1.3.tar.gz
If you don't have GNU tar:
gunzip Roxen_1.3.tar.gz
tar xf Roxen_1.3.tar
- Then type:
cd Roxen_1.3
to change to the Challenger directory.
- To continue with the default installation, type:
make install
This will configure Challenger with default values, compile it and
then install it in /usr/local/roxen/. If you are happy with
this then you can move on to step 5.
If you prefer a custom installation, type:
./configure --prefix=path to Challenger
prefix defaults to /usr/local/, witch places Challenger
in /usr/local/roxen/
This will take a while. When it's done, type:
make install
- The Pike interpreter and various helper programs will now be
compiled and then installed.
You can later on move the roxen directory that was created
when you typed make install to anywhere in your file
system. Roxen does not keep any absolute paths.
Finishing the installation
- Type:
cd roxen/server/
- Start the install script by typing ./install
- Answer the questions and connect to the configuration interface
URL.
Installing Pike separately
For a binary installation, follow the steps for Binary distribution
above to unpack the tar archive.
- cd
to the roxen directory.
- Type:
make install_pike
For a source installation, follow the steps for Source
distribution for Challenger above, but type
make install_all
instead of just make install.
or type
make install_pike
if you have already installed Challenger.
