Installation Packages
For each operating
system, the Appweb binary installation is available in two file
formats:
- Native operating system package format (RPM on Linux,
Zipped Windows Installer Executable)
- Archive for custom installations on Linux (Tar)
It is recommended that you use the native installation
format unless you want exact control over the placement of all
the installation components. It will will register the software
installation with the system's software manager so that you can
query, verify, and easily manage the software on your
system.
A source distribution is also available in three formats: GZIP,
ZIP and RPM.
Installation Options
The Appweb binary
installation packages contain two sub-packages:
- Binary distribution
- Documentation and sample source code
The Appweb installation procedure allows you to select which
sub-packages you wish to install. If you are experienced with
Appweb and only wish to run Appweb, install just the binary
distribution. If you are new to Appweb, install both the binary
distribution and the documentation and samples.
Source Code
The Appweb source code is
provided as a separate download distribution. It is also
available via a Subversion based repository for developers who
wish to participate in the development of Appweb.
Upgrading
If upgrading from a previous
version, please save your configuration files, custom modules and
web data and then remove the previous version of Appweb. Then
install the new release and apply your configuration to the new
release.
