4 Quick Start Guide for the Feisty Meow Codebase
6 Commands that can be typed in a console or terminal are are prefixed with "#".
7 Information that varies by platform is prefixed with a '|' character.
9 This documentation assumes that the code is stored in the default location:
10 /opt/feistymeow.org/feistymeow
11 If you have stored it elsewhere, then please adapt the commands accordingly.
15 How to get the feisty meow codebase
17 | On Microsoft Windows, install the Cygwin tools as documented here:
18 | /opt/feistymeow.org/feisty_meow/documentation/cygwin_install_list.txt (local file) or
19 | https://feistymeow.org/feisty_meow/documentation/cygwin_install_list.txt (web)
21 Retrieve a clone of the feisty meow codebase:
22 # git clone git://feistymeow.org/feisty_meow
26 How to load the feisty meow script environment
28 Set up the feisty_meow scripts; this is only needed once, when you first get
29 the codebase. It will also regenerate the scripts using the latest installed
31 # bash /opt/feistymeow.org/feisty_meow/scripts/core/reconfigure_feisty_meow.sh
33 Connect the feisty meow scripts to your login script (in ~/.bashrc).
34 Note that this actually modifies ~/.bashrc. This step is only needed once.
35 # bash /opt/feistymeow.org/feisty_meow/scripts/core/connect_feisty_meow.sh
37 | For the root user, you can pass a flag '--root' to the connect_feisty_meow
38 | script. This will add an alias for 'feistyme' which loads the feisty meow
39 | scripts on demand (instead of automatically upon login).
41 Load the script environment into the current shell. This can be done for
42 any new shell. This is idempotent, so it does no harm to run it again.
43 Note that you should not need this step if you connected feisty meow to
45 # source /opt/feistymeow.org/feisty_meow/scripts/core/launch_feisty_meow.sh
47 When the feisty meow script environment loaded, many new aliases and
48 functions are available for use. These come from the $FEISTY_MEOW_SCRIPTS

51 (hmmm: To be completed in 2018)
55 How to install the feisty meow script dependencies
57 A couple of perl modules are required by some of the scripts (including the
58 differ utility and the feisty meow customization system). They can be
59 installed with either apt-get or CPAN.
61 Install using apt-get:
62 # sudo apt-get install libfile-which-perl libtext-diff-perl
64 or Install using perl's CPAN:
65 # sudo cpan install Text::Diff File::Which
69 How to install the build dependencies for feisty meow
71 These dependencies are used for building the applications, tools and tests
72 in the "nucleus", "octopi", "graphiq" and other C++ collections.
75 | # sudo apt-get install build-essential librtmp-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libssl-dev
77 | Centos / Redhat / Fedora:
78 | # sudo yum install gcc gcc-c++ openssl-devel.x86_64 curl-devel
80 The "kona" collection depends on Java version 8 or better.
83 | Set up the java PPA archive as described here:
84 | https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/java
88 How to build the feisty meow codebase
90 Run the following command to build the feisty meow libraries and applications.
93 After the build is complete, the feisty meow applications can be found in
94 the folder pointed at by the $FEISTY_MEOW_BINARIES environment variable.
98 How to clean up the files generated by the build
100 This command cleans out all the generated files:
