Greenmine/install

• Install Ferreteria
  • This creates some folders which the following instructions assume already exist.
• Clone the Greenmine Git repository into a folder of your choice, which we'll call <greenmine base>.
  • My standard location for this is /home/<user>/site/git/greenmine/.
• Copy the <greenmine base>/config folder to a location outside of [greenmine base].
  • We'll call this new location <local config>.
  • My standard location for this is /home/<user>/site/config/greenmine
• Make a copy of the <local config>/example folder and name it <local config>/local.

Steps

After installing Ferreteria, run these commands in a terminal on your web server:

cd <$HOME>
su <$USER>
cd site/git
git clone git@gitlab.com:woozalia/greenmine.git
cd ../config

For standard install: cp -R ../git/greenmine/config greenmine cp -R greenmine/example greenmine/local This just copies the config folders from the git repository into the site configuration.

For developers: mkdir greenmine ln -rs ../git/greenmine/config/example greenmine/example ln -rs ../git/greenmine/config/portable greenmine/portable This makes links from the site configuration folders back to the git repository, so any alterations to portable files will be included in git commits.

Then:

ln -rs ../git/greenmine/dropins/WorkFerret WorkFerret

• Edit the files in greenmine/local as needed. You will definitely need to edit creds.php in order to get things working.
