GeoGig installation

As this is beta software, we recommend keeping it under the relevant user rather than making it system wide.

Steps to install:

1. Create GeoGig folder somewhere meaningful to you within the account of the user that will be utilising the application:

   • cccs@server:~$ mkdir geogig

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

3. Download GeoGig and unzip to your installation directory

   • grab the latest release from http://geogig.org
   • unzip. e.g. unzip geogig-cli-app-1.0-beta1.zip

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

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

5. 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:

* `geogig --version`
