Installation
Up one level
Standard Installation Procedure
The Basic Application Services package is provided as a zip file or tar.gz for linux. Unpack the archive and you will find the following items:
- docs (folder)
- gria-service-provider-mgt.war
- README.html
Install the war file according to the Service Installation Manual. Once the initial configuration has been completed, http://www.gria.org/documentation/5.3/manual/basic-application-services-user-guide/the-job-service/application-wrapper-scripts-and-description-files/application-metadata-xml~v~2the Basic Applications Package requires some extra configuration.
Additional Pre-requisites
Some additional pieces of software need to be intalled.
Perl
Perl is required in order to run the Basic Application Services correctly. For Windows, the most common Perl implementations are Cygwin Perl and ActiveState Perl. We recommend that you install ActiveState Perl—choose the latest release, click the "Next" button, and then download the MSI distribution for Windows. To fully complete the installation you must restart Windows.
Test Application: ImageMagick
ImageMagick is the default test application used in GRIA. ImageMagick binaries for Windows can be downloaded from here. Use a Q8 version, e.g. ImageMagick-6.4.2-x-Q8-windows-dll.exe.
The ImageMagick.exe package for Windows is self extracting and the installation procedure starts automatically. Follow the instructions and select the default options.
Note: older versions of ImageMagick might not support all of the basic application service's default examples, e.g. blend.
Continuing the Installation
Once the additional pre-requisites have been installed, the installation can be continued by following the instructions for each service.
