HoriAsso - Set up notes

These are the set up notes for the HoriAsso project, logged by Dror and Karene so as to make the set up of the next project a bit easier.

Dror's Notes

• Choose a "short name" for the project. The short name "HoriAsso" may not be perfect, but it definitely beats my first choice, "HorAss".

• Make a wiki-home for the project, for example by copying and modifying the wiki home of this project.

• Set up http passwords for the project participants; on katlas type

htpasswd /www/.htpasswd karenechu

(or something similar).

• Set up a subversion repository. On katlas:

cd /home/svn
su -l svn
svnadmin create ./HoriAsso
chmod -R g+w HoriAsso

• Externally connect to the repository and create a trunk directory, just to see that everything works.

Karene's Notes

• To install TortoiseSVN for Windows:
  • Go to TortoiseSVN Download Page
  • Download the .msi file for the appropriate architecture, in my case the file TortoiseSVN-1.3.4.6692-svn-1.3.2.msi for i386 architecture.
  • The downloaded package appears as a Windows Installer Package. Open it, accept license, and follow the installer instructions (mostly clicking next and finish). Restart the computer.
  • TortoiseSVN is now in the Start->Program menu.

• To use TortoiseSVN:
  • Open Windows Explorer. Right-click on the folder which contains the code, and click on Repository Browser.
  • Enter the URL of the repository (http://katlas.math.toronto.edu/svn/HoriAsso)

• To install Subversion for Max OS X:
  • Download the latest version of Subversion for Mac here.
  • Check MD5 sum to ensure download is not corrupt.
