10 Easy Steps for Installing Matterhorn v1.0
- Review the Matterhorn product feature tour.
- Download version binary 1.0 zip file from http://www.opencastproject.org/download (If you're running Windows, you'll need to install from source instead. We offer Windows 3rd party installation scripts, but we haven't had an opportunity to create detailed documentation for a windows install yet. Technically it should work. If you're interested in trying it out, please don't hesitate to create a Windows specific install page in the wiki.)
- Unzip the binary in a directory of your choice. We suggest you put it in /opt/matterhorn and rename the directory "felix". The zip directory is Matterhorn's "root directory" and basically felix's root directory. (If you don't know what felix is, at some later date please read our developer documentation and/or read this excellent overview on OSGI ).
- Within Matterhorn's root directory, go to the "3rd_party_tools" directory and choose the directory that best reflects your operating system (linux, mac, osx). NOTE: the linux directory offers two preinstall scripts, redhat or debian. If you're not clear which distribution you have, you should find it in a list of all debian based systems and redhat (rpm) based systems. Red Hat Enterprise Linux-based distributions have been tested but other rpm distributions should work.
- Read your chosen directory's README.txt file before running the necessary 3rd party install scripts. Make sure to run the scripts as sudo. This may take awhile!
- After installing the third party tools, go back to your Matterhorn root directory and run "./bin/start.sh". It may take a little while for felix to download all of the necessary dependencies. If you want to run Matterhorn as a background process run "nohup ./bin/start.sh &" instead.
- Go to localhost:8080 and you should see Matterhorn's welcome page. That's it! This should give you an "all in one" core system. Matterhorn comes with a "demo capture agent" out of the box to demo a full round trip from scheduling, capture, processing, to distribution. The demo capture agent is only useful for demos and development.
- If you plan to deploy a pilot, it's necessary to install a real Matterhorn Capture Agent by following these instructions (basically running the installation script). Of course you first need to build the capture agent . I guess only 8 steps are needed!
