Install Management Tool

Install initial packages

Asterisell is managed using Git and Fabricate DevOps tool.

Execute as root/su user:

yum install -y epel-release
yum update -y
yum groupinstall -y development 
yum install -y sudo git openssl-devel fabric

Create administration user

Asterisell must be managed by a non-root user. Here we will create asterisell user, but every other user is fine.

useradd -m -G wheel asterisell

# Associate a key to the user 
# WARNING: only in case it is not alread done
su asterisell
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "some-email@example.net"

Download Asterisell

Using the asterisell user download Asterisell using git.

cd
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/massimo-zaniboni/asterisell-v5
mv asterisell-v5 asterisell-admin

Asterisell uses Git http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git\_(software) also for upgrading, because:

only the incremental changes are transferred
private customizations and configurations can be merged with default application upgrades, using common Git techniques

Install needed packages using Fabricate DevOps tool

Fabricate tool will install all needed packages and a complete Haskell compilation environment, for compiling the rating engine. This will requires a lot of time the first time.

cd asterisell-admin

# for a list of available commands
fab help

# for initializating the management server with the required packages
fab init
