REQUIREMENTS

INSTALLING REQUIREMENTS ON LINUX

First, install a C compiler, git (optional), and cpanminus:

sudo apt-get install build-essential git-core
wget -O - http://cpanmin.us | sudo perl - --self-upgrade

Second, install this repository either by git:

git clone git://github.com/gbv/swib11app.git

or as snapshot zipfile (if you don't have git):

wget http://github.com/gbv/swib11app/zipball/master
unzip master
mv gbv-swib11app-* swib11app

Third, install required CPAN modules with cpanminus:

cd swib11app
sudo cpanm --installdeps ./app

INSTALLING REQUIREMENTS ON WINDOWS

First, install Strawberry Perl or Cygwin with Perl and cpanminus.

Second, install this repository either by git from

git://github.com/gbv/swib11app.git

or as snapshot zipfile from

http://github.com/gbv/swib11app/zipball/master

Third, start a command line in the 'swib11app' directory and install required CPAN modules with cpanminus:

sudo cpanm --installdeps ./app

TESTING

Just start the application from the application root directory with

cd app
plackup -r

It should now be accesible at http://localhost:5000/ and logging output is sent to the console.

DEPLOYMENT AT DOTCLOUD

To publish your application, you can use a free account at dotCloud. Register and install the dotCloud command line client as described at

http://docs.dotcloud.com/firststeps/install/

On a fresh Ubuntu Linux, it is two commands:

sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install dotcloud

Given a dotCloud account, you can deploy your application as following. First, create an application

dotcloud create swib11app

Second, push the application into the cloud

dotcloud push swib11app

If you work with git, this will only push the latest master revision, so you may need to do a commit first. You can also push branches:

dotcloud push -b mybranch swib11app

The first push will take some time to install all CPAN modules at dotCloud. A demo is running live at http://swib11app-nichtich.dotcloud.com/
