To build in a terminal, change to the directory containing the repo-ng repository. Then enter:
./waf configure ./waf sudo ./waf install
This builds and installs ndn-repo-ng and related tools.
If configured with tests (./waf configure --with-tests), the above commands will also generate unit tests that can be run with ./build/unit-tests.
The default configuration file path is /usr/local/etc/ndn/repo-ng.conf. Users may copy the repo-ng.conf.sample config sample to that path.
The database path is set in the storage.path key of the configuration file. The default database path is /var/lib/ndn/repo-ng.
repo-ng will automatically create a database if one does not exist.
Users should make sure that the ndn-repo-ng process has write access to the database directory.
Currently, three tools are included: ndngetfile, ndnputfile, and repo-ng-ls. Users can find detailed information about these tools on the repo-ng wiki.
