Installation


Steps to install:

        - Get external packages required for features you want, 
          please read EXTERNAL_PACKAGES


        - Set environment variable AWARE_HOME to the directory
          that the Aware source has been unpacked, e.g.:

                export AWARE_HOME=/usr/local/aware


        - cd to $AWARE_HOME


        - type './configure'

                - NOTE: you will be asked questions about optional 
                  external software to link


        - type 'make'


        - type 'make install' , answer questions

                - NOTE: you likely want to 'su root' if you are installing into a root owned area.

                - NOTE: if you installed into a directory different from $AWARE_HOME, 
                        update your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH vars.

        - Set environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include 
          the 'lib' directory, this is needed for running aware apps, e.g.:

                export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$AWARE_HOME/lib/linux2.4_i586/


        - Set environment variable PATH to include the 
          'bin' directory, this is needed for running aware apps, e.g.:

                export PATH=$PATH:$AWARE_HOME/bin/linux2.4_i586/

        - run the management UI, point a browser at http://<host>/aware

        - for more advanced uses:

                - run the examples ($AWARE_HOME/examples) and learn what it can do... 

                - run any custom wire scripts in /etc/awared/customizations.wire

                - Set any environment variables your handlers need in
                  /etc/awared/customizations.sh (e.g., LD_LIBARARY_PATH for Oracle)
