Overview
The setup wizard guides you through the steps required to get your pulse™ server running the first time. The wizard can also be used to upgrade an existing pulse™ server.
setup pulse data directory
The first step in the wizard is to choose the directory where all pulse™ data files should be stored. This data includes all configuration and build information. It is advisable to keep this directory separate from the $PULSE_HOME directory, so the data may be backed up and upgraded easily. Note that the data can also become quite large over time (depending on the cleanup rules applied to projects), so you should choose a filesystem with plenty of available space.
If you are upgrading an exisiting pulse™ installation, simply enter the existing data directory. The pulse™ server will recognise the existing data and guide you through any required upgrade steps.
license setup
Next you will be prompted to enter your license key. If you do not have a key already, you can request one directly using the form provided. Alternatively, you can register for an evaluation license at the zutubi
website. Simply paste the text of the key into the text area provided.
create administration user
Finally, you will be prompted for details of an administration user.
login
Enter a login for the user. If this account will also be used for a developer using the pulse™ server, you should chose a login matching the developer's login in the SCM.
name
Enter the full name of the user.
password
Choose a password for the user.
confirm password
Re-enter the chosen password to confirm it waws typed correctly.
Next Steps
