h2. Requirements

before you start, make sure you have:

* Puppet >= 0.24-4

* rake >= 0.84 

* git

The installation has been successfully tested on RHE5 and Ubuntu 8.04 -  9.04,  for older operating systems you might need additional packages (e.g. sqlite)

h2. Download

to get latest "stable" version do:

<pre><code>git clone git://github.com/ohadlevy/gni.git gni

cd gni

git submodule init

git submodule update

</code></pre>

h2. Initial setup

if you want to share the database with Puppets (storeconfig) edit config/database.yml and configure the *production* database to point to the same database, if not, you can use any other database rails support(MySQL, Sqlite etc)

to initialize the database schema type:

<code>RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate</code>

to start the built in web server:

<code>./script/server -e production</code>

If you would like to keep the server running, I would recommend to setup passenger, an puppet manifest example could be found [[Passenger setup example|here]].

Great - everything works! now learn what you can do by reading the [[FAQ]]

h2. Updates

If you would like to update to the latest version of the torque, execute the following on the torque directory

<pre><code>git pull

RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate

</code></pre>

and restart your web service.
