ESROCOS Installation Instructions

Instruction how to install the ESROCOS development environment on your PC.

Prerequisites

You will require a working TASTE installation. Currently, we suggest you to use the latest version of the TASTE Virtual Box image. Development and testing of ESROCOS takes place on version 9.0. Installation and usage instructions for TASTE can be found at the TASTE Community Homepage.

Instruction

1. Start TASTE Virtual Machine
2. Within the TASTE Linux System, start a shell
3. cd into tools_src and run Update-TASTE.sh, especially when using the machine for the first time.
4. go back into the home dir and download the bootstrap file

   wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ESROCOS/buildconf/stable/install_esrocos
   

5. Execute boot strap file

   chmod 770 install_esrocos
   ./install_esrocos
   

   During the installation process you'll be asked a few questions. Choose the following options:
   • When asked for the access protocoll for git repositories, choose http. If you want to use ssh access, make sure you have created an ssh-key via ssh-keygen and associated it with your github.com account.
   • When asked to select an ESROCOS version to install, choose stable for the latest tested release, master for the latest developments which might contain any number of bugs.
6. Initialize Workspace The ESROCOS installation can now be found the ~/esrocos_workspace folder of your TASTE Virtual Box image. To setup your ESROCOS workspace and get access to the ESROCOS workflow tools you need to source the env.sh file, which is located within your ESROCOS workspace folder.

   source ~/esrocos_workspace/env.sh
   

   You might want to automatically intialize the ESROCOS workspace, everytime you start a terminal in your TASTE Virtual Box. This can be achieved by instructing the shell to automatically source the env.sh file.

   echo "source ~/esrocos_workspace/env.sh" >> ~/.bashrc
   

Congratulations, now your ESROCOS installation is ready to be used!
