installation script #4

Open sgt101 opened 7 years ago

Hi - it's not obvious how to install this; I've looked in the documentation and it says to mail someone to get the script.. but this feels non scaleable and legacy!

Howdy! This project was developed as a proprietary software project. We finally managed to get it open sourced; and then the sponsor lost their funding, and development ceased. So it isn't where we would have wanted it to be, and there isn't an installable release at GitHub. You'd have to clone it and build it yourself, which is non-trivial, but you're quite welcome to try. There's a document that explains how to set up the development environment.

Ahh ok - thank you for replying and thank you for the effort of opensourcing it. I've managed opensource projects myself so know it's a tough business.

I'll see if I can build it and let you know how I get on :)

You can run it locally without doing a full build, by the way. If you've got everything set up properly, bin/athena.tcl will invoke the standalone app. Doing a "build" is all about packaging it as an executable for deployment; you don't need that for development.
