Overview
|
Installing Reptile is very simple and should all Operating
Systems (Windows, UNIX, etc.).
|
|
Requirements
|
JDK 1.2.2 or greater (hopefully GCC 3.0 will be tested
soon)
A modern computer (PII or higher) which has an internet
connection (even a temporary internet connection should
suffice).

|
Installation
|
- Move reptile into a location somewhere on your disk. For
user installations this should probably be somewhere under
/home/USERNAME/reptile. For system installation this should
probably be under /usr/local/reptile. On Windows machines
this does not matter.
-
Reptile can be started by running the
REPTILE_HOME/reptile-startup.sh script and shutdown with
REPTILE_HOME/reptile-shutdown.sh script. (for windows
machines use the corresponding .bat file)
- You should then connect with a web browser (Konqueror,
Mozilla, IE) to:
http://localhost:8050/reptile/servlet/reptile
-
After this you should allow Reptile to remain connected to
the network for at least 10 minutes. When it first starts
up Reptile needs to pull in external resources. After this
it is able to use cached data when offline.

Building from source
|
-
You will need a copy of Ant in order to build from source.
Builds can be obtained from http://jakarta.apache.org/ant
-
Change to the REPTILE_HOME directory and run:
%shell% java org.apache.tools.ant.Main dist
This will build reptile into REPTILE_HOME/bin/distribution. All
that is needed to run it is to launch reptile-startup.sh

Platform specific notes
|
Mac OSX
|
Do not use the stuffit expander to uncompress Reptile as it
does not support long file names and its use will break your
installation with corrupted filenames.
