| [cosmos-dev] ER 219156 - Installation Guide |
|
Team, This pertains to ER 219156
- Installation Guide.. As part of my ventures in playing adopter,
some of the updates are staring to fall out for the Installation Guide… Tania, who is this assigned to? https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=219156
says Rich owns this; but http://wiki.eclipse.org/COSMOS_Manual_Guide
says I am supposed to complete this ER. Regardless of ownership, I would be
happy to contribute content as this is what I am doing these days as part of my
Adopter scenario. Key question: Our actors are
referred to as Monitor Admin and System Admin. The former is the super
user and the latter is the typical user. We need to decide what we will
call these actors / users / adopters in our documentation. I updated the page that Rich
initially created, and here is what the outline looks like now (http://wiki.eclipse.org/COSMOS_InstallGuide10).
It would be great if you could take 5 minutes and review this outline. Eclipse COSMOS Installation Guide V1.0 Audience: Monitor Administrators and System Administrators This publication describes how to install COSMOS. It provides
information to assist adopters to perform the following tasks: 1.
Plan the
deployment of components 2.
Identify
hardware requirements 3.
Check software
prerequisites 1. Java 2. Eclipse 3. Tomcat 4.
Downloading
COSMOS run-time files 5.
Installing
COSMOS with one of the following techniques, either: 1. Installing COSMOS manually 2. Installing COSMOS with Eclipse Update Manager 6.
Start COSMOS 7.
Shut down
COSMOS 8.
Uninstall
COSMOS 9.
Perform
post-installation configuration 1. Setting up a Monitor Administrator and a System
Administrator 10. Notices Note: What other steps are needed?

Behalf Of Mohsin, Jimmy Team, I am a new adopter who is very interesting in deploying
COSMOS and trying it out with a sample MDR which I have; and also working with
a sample MDR which I hope COSMOS will provide J… Here is what I did to start off on this venture: 1.
I navigated to http://www.eclipse.org/cosmos/
and read up a little on COSMOS. I also saw two useful links on this page,
one stating Documents and the other stating Downloads. 2.
I then clicked on the Documents link, which took me to http://www.eclipse.org/cosmos/home/documents/index.php
but saw that there was not much info for an adopter like myself. I got
slightly confused by the term “users” and “consumers”,
as I see myself as both. For now, I will assume that an adopter like
myself is a “User” of COSMOS, per the terminology on this page. I
assume that at some point, this page will contain things like Install Guide,
User Guide, etc for “Users” of COSMOS (Rich, is this true?) 3.
I then clicked on the second link, i.e. the Download,
which took me to http://www.eclipse.org/cosmos/downloads/ 4.
I saw a tab which said “Project Builds”
that contains a series of builds under sections “Milestone Builds”,
“Stable Builds”, “Integration Builds”,
“Development Builds”. 5.
A one line description for each section would help.
Do you agree? 6.
I saw that the latest driver in the “Stable
Builds” section is marked as:
This is the build that I will use,
given it later date and the word “Stable” in its description. Rich, I assume that the downloads page
will house the M3 / i11 / 1.0 driver at some point? 7.
Next step: pulling down the i8 driver and trying to
install it on my clean machine… Of course, COSMOS will tell me what
constitutes a clean machine, right? Stay tuned for the next episode in this very interesting
show… Thanks, Jimmy
