Installing repo-ng

Prerequisites

Build

To build in a terminal, change to the directory containing the repo-ng repository. Then enter:

./waf configure
./waf
sudo ./waf install

This builds and installs ndn-repo-ng and related tools.

If configured with tests (./waf configure --with-tests), the above commands will also generate unit tests that can be run with ./build/unit-tests.

Configuration

The default configuration file path is /usr/local/etc/ndn/repo-ng.conf. Users may copy the repo-ng.conf.sample example config to that path.

Database

The database path is set in the storage.path key of the configuration file. The default database path is /var/lib/ndn/repo-ng.

repo-ng will automatically create a database if one does not exist.

Users should make sure that the ndn-repo-ng process has write access to the database directory.

Tools

Currently, three tools are included: ndngetfile, ndnputfile, and repo-ng-ls. Users can find detailed information about these tools on the repo-ng wiki.
