Panoptes Docs

Installing Panoptes

Begin by checking out the code from github. The code is not yet available on CPAN, but will be released there eventually.

You can check out the code wherever you want, but for the example, I put it in ~/src.

  mkdir ~/src
  cd ~/src
  git clone git://github.com/wu/panoptes.git
  cd panoptes

There are several components here, for more info, see the README file.

For the tutorials, you'll need to install the following modules:

For each module

  cd panoptes-somedir/
  perl Makefile.PL
  make
  make test      # sorry, there are still some failures, this is alpha!!!
  make install
  cd ..
  # repeat for next module

If you are missing any prereqs, you should be able to install them like so:

  perl -MCPAN -e'install HTML::TableExtract'

The process of configuring perl to install perl modules from CPAN is not covered here.

TODO: give a good link to some sort of 'using CPAN' docs

Note that not all the prereqs are listed in the Makefiles because the actual required prereqs vary depending on which modules you have enabled. Sorry, this should work better in the future.
