It installs frePPLe, Python, SQLite database and a Python web server. No other software is required.<br />This setup is suitable for this tutorial, but for a production system a more powerful and scalable setup is most probably required: see the manual for more details. </p> <div class='vspace'></div><ul><li>Download the windows installer from <a target='_blank' class='urllink' href='http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=166214' rel='nofollow'>SourceForge.net</a>.<br /> Running the installation is as straightforward as it can be and frePPLe consumes maximum 40MB of disk space. For the purpose of this tutorial stick with the default installation options. In particular, make sure to choose the SQLite database during the installation. <div class='vspace'></div></li><li>The last step in the installation process allows you to start the server right away. Alternatively you can start the server from the start menu.<br /> The server will open a new window, and will display the URL to point your browser to. <div style='text-align: center;'> <img src='../uploads/Tutorial/server.png' alt='' title='' /></div> <div class='vspace'></div></li><li>Open your browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer 7 and Opera have been tested) on this URL. The login screen will appear. <br /> There are 3 initial accounts created in the system: <ul><li>The user <strong>frepple</strong>, with password 'frepple', is a typical user account. The user has access to all functionality. </li><li>The user <strong>admin</strong>, with password 'admin', is a system administration account with complete access to the system, plus user and permission management. </li><li>The user <strong>guest</strong>, with password 'guest', is a user account with access to a limited subset of functionality. </li></ul>Different user roles can easily be defined by the administrator to control the access rights. The menus and screens will automatically adjust to the permissions of the user.<br /> Throughout this tutorial you can continue to log in as the <strong>frepple</strong> user. <div style='text-align: center;'> <img src='../uploads/Tutorial/login.png' alt='' title='' /></div> <div class='vspace'></div></li><li>The installation populates the database with a demo dataset. We'll now erase it from the database to start with a clean slate.<br /> Click on the 'Tools' / 'Execute' in the menu bar at the top of your screen. In this screen click the 'erase' button in the database section. The screen will display a message at the top when the deletion is finished. <div style='text-align: center;'> <img src='../uploads/Tutorial/erasedb.png' alt='' title='' /></div> </li></ul><p class='vspace'>If you have been able to perform the above steps, your frePPLe installation is fully up and running! </p> </div> <!--PageFooterFmt--> <!--HTMLFooter--> </div></div> </body> </html>
