Installation script

Table of contents


General information

This script allows to install or uninstall the project, which is optional and not necessary in order to use it.

Notice that both processes require superuser privileges.

Details can be found inside the usage_install.txt file in the docs sub-directory of the project.

Install Salomon

The project will be installed to /opt/salomon and a symbolic link to its main script will be created in /usr/local/bin by default. If that directory is not part of the path related environment variable, the symbolic link will be created inside /usr/bin instead.

Now, to install, type one of the following commands, depending on the way you prefer.

Either as normal user via sudo

sudo ./install.sh -i

or directly when logged in as root:

./install.sh -i

After installing Salomon, it can simply be run by typing its name in lowercase (without a trailing .sh) followed by the arguments to use. For example:

salomon --help

Uninstall Salomon

To uninstall, type one of the following commands, depending on the way you prefer.

Either as normal user via sudo

sudo ./install.sh -u

or directly when logged in as root:

./install.sh -u
