Quick Evaluation of AccuRev(UNIX/Linux) : Running the Installation Program

Running the Installation Program
Note: After installation is complete, be sure to continue with the directions in this chapter. We’ll guide you through initial depot setup and basic AccuRev usage.
Start the installation process with one of the following commands:
sh ./AccuRev_<version>_<OSversion>.bin (graphical wizard)
sh ./AccuRev_<version>_<OSversion>.bin -i console (text-based wizard)
Following is a transcript of a console installation, with some annotations. Since the graphical wizard is similar to the installer provided for Windows systems, see Quick Evaluation of AccuRev (Windows) on page 1 for help with a graphical installation.
Introduction and License Agreement: The wizard starts with an explanation of how to use it, along with a license agreement. Press Enter several times to scroll through and read this material, then type Y and press Enter to accept the license agreement
DO YOU ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT? (Y/N): Y
Non-Administrator User Identity Warning: If you are not logged in as the root user, the wizard displays a message to inform you of your options.
Choose Install Type: The wizard has you choose between a typical installation and a custom installation:
Select Typical or Custom Installation.

->1- Typical
2- Custom

Typical or Custom?: 1
The Typical option installs the program with many default settings and a minimum of prompts. Use the Custom option if you need to customize AccuRev settings.
Choose What Server to Connect To: Selecting this machine performs a full (client and server) installation of AccuRev on the current machine. This is the most common configuration for evaluating AccuRev. If you already have an AccuRev Server on your network, select another host, and enter the correct host name and port number to access that server.
What Server Would You Like to Connect to:

1- This machine
2- Another host

This machine or Another host?: 1
Server Port Configuration: Enter the server port that AccuRev will use. If you chose this machine in the previous step, make sure that no network applications running on this machine use port 5050, or change the port number to one that is not used by any of the other applications. If you change the port number, all other AccuRev installations that connect to this server must perform Custom installations to specify the same alternative port number.
Server Port You Will be Using

Enter Server Port Number (default 5050):
Choose Install Directory: The wizard suggests a default location for installing AccuRev. This location will store the product itself, along with the repositories (“depots”) that hold version-controlled files. If you are the root user, it suggests a public location.
Make sure the pathname specifies a directory that does not yet exist.
Where would you like to install?

Default Install Folder: /opt/accurev

ENTER AN ABSOLUTE PATH, OR PRESS <ENTER> TO ACCEPT THE DEFAULT
: /usr/local/accurev

INSTALL FOLDER IS: /usr/local/accurev
IS THIS CORRECT? (Y/N): Y
Select License Key File: The wizard prompts you for the location of the license key file that you saved during the registration process. If you’re installing on top of an existing AccuRev installation, the wizard first asks if you wish to replace your existing license key file. If you don’t yet have a license key, just press Enter. When you obtain the license key file, you’ll need to copy it to the storage/site_slice directory within the AccuRev installation area.
Choose a license key file [/home/evalUser/keys.txt]:
Choose Link Location: Specify where symbolic links to the executables will be created.
Where would you like to create links? If you put links in your Path, you will be able to run AccuRev easily from anywhere on your system.

->1- Default: /home/evalUser
2- In your home folder
3- Choose another location...

4- Don't create links

ENTER THE NUMBER OF AN OPTION ABOVE, OR PRESS <ENTER> TO ACCEPT THE DEFAULT
: 3
ENTER THE ABSOLUTE PATH TO THE SHORTCUT DIRECTORY
: /home/evalUser/bin

SHORTCUT DIRECTORY IS: /home/evalUser/bin
IS THIS CORRECT? (Y/N): y
Installation Complete. The installer uses your options to install AccuRev. Press Enter to exit the installer. The AccuRev Server starts automatically.
Congratulations. AccuRev 4.6.2 has been successfully installed to:

/usr/local/bin

PRESS <ENTER> TO EXIT THE INSTALLER:
Update $PATH: You will need to update the PATH environment variable to include the AccuRev bin directory (for example, /usr/local/accurev/bin) so that AccuRev CLI commands will be automatically recognized.
