| Shuo Chen | 050fcad | 2014-03-12 15:45:54 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 9 | |
| Davide Pesavento | 4a16004 | 2020-04-13 16:50:02 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 10 | To build in a terminal, change to the directory containing the repo-ng repository. |
| 11 | Then enter: |
| Shuo Chen | 050fcad | 2014-03-12 15:45:54 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 12 | |
| 13 | ./waf configure |
| 14 | ./waf |
| 15 | sudo ./waf install |
| 16 | |
| Junxiao Shi | 434fa49 | 2017-06-15 00:37:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 17 | This builds and installs `ndn-repo-ng` and related tools. |

| Davide Pesavento | 4a16004 | 2020-04-13 16:50:02 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 19 | If configured with tests (`./waf configure --with-tests`), the above commands will |
| 20 | also generate unit tests that can be run with `./build/unit-tests`. |

| Weiqi Shi | bd469da | 2014-08-21 10:08:51 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 23 | |
| Junxiao Shi | 434fa49 | 2017-06-15 00:37:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 24 | The default configuration file path is `/usr/local/etc/ndn/repo-ng.conf`. |
| Davide Pesavento | 4a16004 | 2020-04-13 16:50:02 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 25 | Users may copy the [repo-ng.conf.sample](repo-ng.conf.sample) config sample to that path. |
| Weiqi Shi | bd469da | 2014-08-21 10:08:51 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 26 | |
| Davide Pesavento | 4a16004 | 2020-04-13 16:50:02 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 27 | ## Database |
| Weiqi Shi | bd469da | 2014-08-21 10:08:51 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 28 | |
| Davide Pesavento | 4a16004 | 2020-04-13 16:50:02 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 29 | The database path is set in the `storage.path` key of the configuration file. |
| Davide Pesavento | 4162cc5 | 2019-01-25 01:32:30 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 30 | The default database path is `/var/lib/ndn/repo-ng`. |
| Weiqi Shi | bd469da | 2014-08-21 10:08:51 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 31 | |
| Davide Pesavento | 4a16004 | 2020-04-13 16:50:02 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 32 | repo-ng will automatically create a database if one does not exist. |
| Weiqi Shi | bd469da | 2014-08-21 10:08:51 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 33 | |
| Davide Pesavento | 4a16004 | 2020-04-13 16:50:02 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 34 | Users should make sure that the `ndn-repo-ng` process has write access to the |
| 35 | database directory. |
