SCoT - simple content management tool


Installing SCoT

System Requirements

At the moment SCoT is restricted to Windows systems, because neither there is a starting script for nor have I tested it under other OS.

It should run with JRE 1.4 but I tested it only in my development environment.

 PreferedDeveloped and tested
OSWindows98 or higherWindows XP
JRE1.4 or higher1.4.2_06

Unpack the Binaries

Unpack the binaries to a proper location on your harddisk, lets say "C:\scot-app". After unpacking the files you may find the following files and directories in that folder.

file / directory description
C:\scot-app\module.properties basic configuration settings
C:\scot-app\doc\help\index.html start of the documentation
C:\scot-app\doc documentation
C:\scot-app\etc specialized configuration settings
C:\scot-app\bin starting scripts
C:\scot-app\lib program binaries

Set the Environment Variable

Set the environment variable "SCOT_APP_HOME" to where you put your application, in our case "C:\scot-app".

If you don't do that, "SCOT_APP_HOME" will be set to the parent directory from where you start SCoT. That enables you to change to "C:\scot-app\bin" and run SCoT from there.

Add 'bin' to the Path Variable

Add "bin" folder to your path to make sure that SCoT will be found from whereever you call it. In case of our example you would add C:\scot-app\bin to your path variable.

If you don't do that, there is no problem. Just change to the directory where the starting scripts are, in our case "C:\scot-app\bin". You can start SCoT from there.

Start the Application

Start the application by typing "scot-app" or "scot-app -help" from the command line. This will show you some information about how to use the application with command line parameters.

Back to the overview.
