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/foreman.git foreman cd foreman git submodule init git submodule update </code></pre> * if you are behind a proxy or firewall and dont have access to github using the git protocol, use http protocol instead (e.g.) <pre> git clone http://github.com/ohadlevy/foreman.git foreman cd foreman sed -i 's/git:\/\//http:\/\//g' and edit the .gitmodules git submodule init git submodule update </pre> (replace git:// with http:// and follow the previous instructions 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 foreman, execute the following on the foreman directory <pre><code>git pull RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate </code></pre> and restart your web service.
