Add .urcap installation tutorial #6

Closed stefanscherzinger closed 3 years ago

stefanscherzinger commented 3 years ago

This shall make it easier to use the URCap right away without going through the Maven build process.

Also add a step-by-step tutorial for the Polyscope installation.

Resolves #5

gavanderhoorn commented 3 years ago

Would perhaps be nice to use the Releases feature for this.

Could avoid storing a non-versionable binary in a git repository.

Might also be possible to automate builds of binaries.

stefanscherzinger commented 3 years ago

Yes, good point. I'll have a look at that.

fmauch commented 3 years ago

I agree with @gavanderhoorn. We have releases for our other URCaps in place already. I can take care about that at latest after my vacation. But it's not that hard to setup, so if you want to take a look into that @stefanscherzinger... You can check the CI pipeline for our other URCaps and use the same here. I usually download the artifact from the pipeline and upload it as a binary release.

@stefanscherzinger ok to close this in favor of #7?

Edit: Actually, the installation instructions could definitely be merged, but then we should change this PR's title probably.

stefanscherzinger commented 3 years ago

@fmauch I'll drop the .urcap binary from this PR and change the title accordingly. Let's keep the rest intact to merge the .urcap setup instructions.
