Installing the WebYaST client component

Download the source

git clone git://git.opensuse.org/projects/yast/web-client.git

Required gems and packages

You can install dependencies using zypper/rpm:

zypper in rubygem-gettext rubygem-gettext_activerecord rubygem-gettext_rails rubygem-locale \
 rubygem_locale-rails rubygem-relevance-rcov

Or using gem, if packages are not available:

gem install gettext gettext_activerecord gettext_rails locale locale_rails

Plugins locations

When installed, plugin packages install the plugins in RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins/PLUGINNAME, however during development the webclient tree is at the same level of the plugins (we show the tree of plugins/systemtime expanded as an example). The applications include the ../plugins directory in the plugins path so they are found during development.

Migrating the database

Before launching it, create the database (used to hold bookmarks of services)

# from the checkout working directory of web-client
rake db:migrate

Launch the service

# start the server
cd webclient
script/server

You can browse the repositories for the REST service and for the Web client
