#GsDevKit Client Installation

These instructions describe installing the GsDevKit tODE client on a desktop machine on which you have already installed the GsDevKit Seaside Server.

Since the GsDevKit server must run on Linux or Mac, these instructions are for those platforms.

Install Client

The following steps are involved in installing the GsDevKit client. For an example script to execute, see Install GsDevKit client

  1. Set the environment

    The environment variable $GS_HOME and the updated $PATH are required to use DevKit, so you should add them to your .bashrc or another initialization script.

    export GS_HOME=<githubdirectory>
export PATH=$GS_HOME/bin:$PATH

  2. Perform the Client installation

    The installation is performed by a GsDevKit script. This script takes care of cloning the required projects to your client node and creating a client with the selected name. You should use the same value for <myGemStoneVersion> that you used for your server installation.

    Script to install the client:

    $GS_HOME/bin/installClient <myClientName> <myGemStoneVersion>

    You may use any name for <myClientName>, and note that you may later have multiple clients. The examples below use tode1 as the client name.

    The install scripts invokes the following sub-scripts:

    downloadGemStone
cloneSharedTodeProjects
createClient

Example Script to Install Client

This script installs the GsDevKit client components for v3.2.10, and creates a client with the name tode1.

cd $GS_HOME
$GS_HOME/bin/installClient -c https tode1 3.2.10

When the install script completes, it will report lines similar to:

...finished installGci
...finished scanProductsForInstallingGciLibs
...finished createPharoTodeClient
...finished createClient
...finished createClient
...finished installClient

You now have an instance of the tODE client installed on your client machine, with the name tode1 (if you used the sequence as entered here), but it is not started up.

  1. Start your client
startClient tode1
