if you have an .rpm package, run the following as root:
% rpm --install packagefile.rpm |
if you have a .deb package, run the following as root:
% dpkg --install packagefile.deb |
If you have compiled from source (see 'Compiling from Source'), you can install by doing the following as root:
% make install % ldconfig |
If you use --prefix to the ./configure script, you may not need to be root: but you may need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include lib and PATH environment to include bin.
If you don't even want to make install you can just add gdam/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Then run the client and server separately.
If you have fully installed gdam onto your system, the server should automatically be launched when you run gdam-launcher, so it is a one step process.
Often it is easier to run the client and server separately:
if something is going wrong,
you want to specific command line flags to the server,
you want to connect multiple clients to the server,
or you want the server to keep running after the client has detached.
% gdam-server --config /etc/gdam/server.config |
In the second window,
% gdam-launcher |
