GeoGig installation

As a beta software, it is advisable to install per user rather than making it system-wide.

Dependencies:

• Java 7 or above

Steps to install:

1. If you don't already have Java (at Java 7 or above), install a Java JDK.

2. Create GeoGig folder somewhere meaningful within the applicaton user account:

   • cccs@server:~$ mkdir geogig

3. Download GeoGig and unzip to your installation directory:

   • cd geogig && wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/geogig/files/latest/download

4. Unzip:

   • unzip geogig-cli-app-1.0-beta1.zip

5. echo your PATH variable into the user's .bashrc

   • echo 'PATH="$PATH:~/geogig/bin"' >> .bashrc

6. Verify that your PATH was written appropriately:

   • . .bashrc
     • NOTE: the dot command . simply executes or opens a file

...and that's it!

To verify that geogig is installed, run the command geogig --version
