Installation

|
|
|
1. Get the source
|
2020-02-02 13:37:49 +02:00
|
|
|
Get the source code by running
|
|
|
|
|
$ git clone https://git.freesoftwareextremist.com/bloat
|
|
|
|
|
You can also download the latest source tarball from the URL
|
|
|
|
|
"https://git.freesoftwareextremist.com/bloat/snapshot/bloat-master.tar.gz"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Build and install
|
2020-02-18 23:48:21 +02:00
|
|
|
Install GO from your system's package manager or from https://golang.org/dl.
|
|
|
|
|
Then run make to compile the source.
|
2020-02-02 13:37:49 +02:00
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
|
This will perform a system wide installation of bloat. By default, it will
|
2020-02-18 23:48:21 +02:00
|
|
|
install the binary in /usr/local/bin and data files in /usr/local/share/bloat.
|
|
|
|
|
You can change these paths by editing the Makefile.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
3. Edit the config file
|
|
|
|
|
bloat looks for a file named bloat.conf in the working directory and
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/bloat in that order. You can also specify another file by using the -f
|
|
|
|
|
flag. Comments in the config file describe what each config value does. For
|
|
|
|
|
most cases, you only need to change the value of "client_website".
|

|
|
|
# cp bloat.gen.conf /etc/bloat.conf
|
2022-01-02 12:52:15 +02:00
|
|
|
# $EDITOR /etc/bloat.conf
|
2020-02-18 23:48:21 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2020-02-02 13:37:49 +02:00
|
|
|
5. Run the binary
|
2022-11-12 00:20:49 +02:00
|
|
|
$ bloat
|
2020-02-18 23:48:21 +02:00
|
|
|
Now you should create an init script to automatically start bloat at system
|
|
|
|
|
startup.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Update
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Either run git pull to fetch the updated source or download the latest tarball
|
|
|
|
|
from the URL mentioned in the installation step. Then run make to install the
|
|
|
|
|
updated binary and data files
|
|
|
|
|
$ git pull
|
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
