Installation

Preconditions

The following are required to run this application:

  • OS: Centos7
  • Ruby: 2.6+
  • Bundler

Bootstrap Installation

The following can be used to quickly install charge client with a single curl. It assumes that an appropriate version of git, ruby, and bundle are available on the path. Without these applications the boot-strapping script will fail. Ruby can be installed using flight runway or rvm.

The script will automatically configure the application to connect to the remote service. The only required configuration parameter is the CHARGE_CLIENT_JWT which will be used to set the authorization token. Please contact the Alces Flight Center support team on how to generate this token.

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alces-flight/charge-client/master/scripts/bootstrap.sh | CHARGE_CLIENT_JWT=<token> bash

This script may be customised with various configuration parameters as follows:

  • CHARGE_CLIENT_BRANCH: The branch/ tag to install Default: The lastest release (not master)
  • CHARGE_CLIENT_URL: The API base URL Default: https://center.alces-flight.com
  • CHARGE_CLIENT_INSTALL_DIR: The install directory Default: /opt/flight/opt

These parameters are solely used by the bootstrapping script and are not required by the main application.

git clone https://github.com/alces-flight/charge-client
