Installation

  • Make sure you are the root user.
  • Change to your selected installation directory and unpack the OSsonar tarball. The top directory created is “ossonar”.For example:
    cd /usr  -or-  cd /usr/local
    tar xvzf /tmp/ossonar-2.1.1.tar.gz

    Make sure that you have adequate space in the selected filesystem.

  • Some advance features of OSsonar will require the user “ossonar”.  Optionally, add a regular user by the name of ossonar.
  • If you have a custom config file, name it /etc/OSSONAR.conf.
  • OSsonar is installed into a single directory on your system.   /ossonar will be created as a symbolic link during installation.
  • Now change to the OSsonar bin directory and run the language dependent install script.For example:
    ­cd ossonar/bin
    ­./install.en

    This Installs the English version.

    OSsonar is now running with the default configuration.

  • Read the document /ossonar/docs/OSsonar.txt for an overview.
  • Read the document /ossonar/docs/configure.txt to custom configure OSsonar.
