 Installation Packages
For each operating
system, the Appweb binary installation is available in two file formats:
- Native operating system package format (RPM on Linux, Zipped Windows Installer
Executable)
- Archive for custom installations on Linux (Tar)
It is recommended that you use the native installation format unless you want exact
control over the placement of all the installation components. It will will register the
software installation with the system's software manager so that you can query, verify, and
easily manage the software on your system.
A source distribution is also available in three formats: GZIP, ZIP and RPM.
Installation Options
The Appweb binary installation packages contain two sub-packages:
- Binary distribution
- Documentation and sample source code
The Appweb installation procedure allows you to select which sub-packages you wish to
install. If you are experienced with Appweb and only wish to run Appweb, install just the
binary distribution. If you are new to Appweb, install both the binary distribution and the
documentation and samples.
Source CodeThe Appweb source code is provided as
a separate download distribution. It is also available via a Subversion based repository for
developers who wish to participate in the development of Appweb.
Upgrading
If upgrading from a previous version, please save your configuration files, custom
modules and web data and then remove the previous version of Appweb. Then install the new
release and apply your configuration to the new release.
