Setup of Development environment

Setup by Operating System

There is a central NAnt script that is able to generate a lot of code and is able to do all automated tasks in the OpenPetra project.

To see the available commands, just run on the command line:

cd openpetraorg
nant help

First you need to compile the PetraTools which is a set of programs for creating databases and more:

nant compileCommon
nant compilePetraTools

Now you need to create a database. If you don't change the config file, the SQLite database system will be used.

nant recreateDatabase

Then you want to load the database with base data:

nant resetDatabase

You should compile OpenPetra.org this way:

nant compilePetra

Start the OpenPetra.org Server:

nant startPetraServer

Start the OpenPetra.org client:

nant startPetraClient

With the base database, there is the user demo with password demo that you can use to login to your installation of OpenPetra.org.

See Preview: Current functionality for information what is actually working already.

Stop the OpenPetra.org Server:

nant stopPetraServer

Generate the translation files:

nant translation
