• As prerequisite, The Rembo Wizard requires a running installation of Rembo Toolkit [ read more... ].
• You cannot just blindly apply The Rembo Wizard on any system with any type of hard disk partition. Windows and Linux are supported. The entire system installation must be on the first partition of the first hard disk [ read more... ].

Installing The Rembo Wizard

This document covers the installation on a Linux and Sun/Solaris based servers with Rembo Toolkit.
( If you know how to repeat the below on a Windows Server,
please e-mail us the procedure to follow ).

1. Download the latest The Rembo Wizard version from the project file distribution repository.
    
2. Unwind the distribution on any directory but preferably on the same machine on which a Rembo Toolkit server is running. For example:
    

   • tar zxvf rembowiz-1.1.2.tgz

3. Move into the rembowiz-<release> directory and follow the instructions in the Readme.rembowiz. But if you just want to try your luck, you can continue as follows.
    
4. What will be installed? The Rembo Wizard and optionally some of the Rembo Toolkit's Rembo-C files will be compiled with the toolkit's compiler. The resulting plug-in modules and some supporting files will be installed on a Rembo Server's filesystem, usually on the local machine. Using the Rembo server management console (on a Windows workstation) you would observe following files on the Rembo Server's filesystem:
   
   If you are installing on a system used already in production level, make sure that you do not have already your own autoload file on the top most, global level.
   Depending of the Rembo Toolkit's version, ata.rbx plug-in can be missing. The will compile and install it from the Rembo Toolkit's SDK. Depending of its version the SDK's ata.rbc may require patches. If you want to deploy Windows 2000/XP, you should study distribution's patches-directory to see if your version of Rembo Toolkit requires patches.
    
5. The installation Makefile and download installation script suppose that your Rembo Server's rembo.conf contains NetPassword "rembo" and that the Rembo Toolkit's SDK is installed on /usr/local/rembo/SDK. If this is not the case, please modify the above files accordingly.
    
6. Make sure that the Rembo Server is running. Compile and install The Rembo Wizard with the command
    

   • make install target=local

7. After gaining some experience with The Rembo Wizard, you would probably like to modify the naming convention file, rembo-names. You can do it directly using the Rembo server management console or you can edit the file within the distribution directory, then update it on the server with the command
    

   • make update target=local
