== Consider A Couple Notable Prerequisites ==
  +
Most of the prerequisites for the upcoming steps are fairly straightforward.
  +
However, a couple of them might be worth a pause. Here are some prerequisites to
  +
be particularly aware of:
  +
  +
==== LRM requires that the [[The Build Server]] use Linux ====
  +
If you're not planning on using LRM, but there's some chance that you'll change your mind, it's still probably wise to use Linux for the build server. Otherwise you'd need to reinstall all of the build server components on a Linux machine later (what a pain).
  +
  +
==== Dashboard requires that the [[The Dashboard Server]] use MySQL 5.6 or greater ====
  +
  +
==== The Following Deployment Scenarios Require A Version Control System ====
  +
* [[Globalyzer Lite for Continuous Globalization]]
  +
* [[Globalyzer CLI for Continuous Globalization]]
  +
* [[Globalyzer API for Continuous Globalization]]
  +
* [[Globalyzer and Check in Verification]]
  +
* [[LRM for Continuous Globalization]]
  +
* [[Continuous Globalization]]
  +
  +
Previous clients have used '''Git''', '''Subversion''', '''Team Foundation Server''' and even
  +
'''FTP'''. If you wish to use a different version control system, check with Lingoport
  +
first to insure compatibility.
  +
  +
If you're only looking to set up a sandbox style environment to evaluate
  +
components of the Lingoport Suite, then a version control system is not strictly
  +
necessary. However, the installation process becomes more complicated without
  +
one. If you choose to avoid using a version control system, please check in
  +
with Lingoport to avoid getting stuck later.
  +
<!-- TODO maybe add a page and link for [[SVN] -->
  +
<!-- TODO instructions for installation without VCS -->
  +
  +
These prerequisites will be mentioned again in the sections where they are relevant.

Read Me First

The following are instructions for installing the Globalyzer Suite.

Depending on what deployment scenarios you choose, you may not need to perform all of the following steps. If a step is not listed as relevant to your deployment scenario, you may skip over it. However, unless otherwise noted, the instructions are meant to be followed in sequential order. If you skip ahead of a relevant step, then things will break! For the same reason, it would be wise to troubleshoot any issues that you encounter in a section before moving on to the next.

You'll want to take a moment to read over the table of contents summary for the Installation Steps (see above) before proceeding.

You may otherwise read the instructions as you go.

Installation Steps

Read over the Lingoport Suite Systems Guide

If you haven't already, see the Lingoport Suite Systems Guide (TODO: create systems guide from information on the Lingoport Suite Installation page). Do not proceed until you feel that you understand it.

Decide On Your Deployment Scenario(s)

If you haven't already, see the Deployment Scenarios document. Do not proceed until you have decided on one or more deployment scenarios. Be sure that you understand the deployment scenario(s) you have chosen.

Consider A Couple Notable Prerequisites

Most of the prerequisites for the upcoming steps are fairly straightforward. However, a couple of them might be worth a pause. Here are some prerequisites to be particularly aware of:

LRM requires that the The Build Server use Linux

If you're not planning on using LRM, but there's some chance that you'll change your mind, it's still probably wise to use Linux for the build server. Otherwise you'd need to reinstall all of the build server components on a Linux machine later (what a pain).

Dashboard requires that the The Dashboard Server use MySQL 5.6 or greater

The Following Deployment Scenarios Require A Version Control System

Previous clients have used Git, Subversion, Team Foundation Server and even FTP. If you wish to use a different version control system, check with Lingoport first to insure compatibility.

If you're only looking to set up a sandbox style environment to evaluate components of the Lingoport Suite, then a version control system is not strictly necessary. However, the installation process becomes more complicated without one. If you choose to avoid using a version control system, please check in with Lingoport to avoid getting stuck later.

These prerequisites will be mentioned again in the sections where they are relevant.

Install the Globalyzer Server (optional)

Deployment Scenarios

Installation

This is an optional step. You company may have elected to use Lingoport's Globalyzer Server at www.globalyzer.com.

If you are performing this step, you should receive detailed instructions along with your Globalyzer Server installation files. Pay special attention to Globalyzer_Server_Setup&Admin_<version>.doc.

TODO: Add a verification step after each installation step.

Post Install

TODO: They need a license, username, and account!

Install the Globalyzer Client/Workbench on i18n Specialists' Machines

This section may be completed at any time after the Globalyzer Server has been setup and verified. We recommend doing it now. That way the i18n specialists at your company may begin work on crafting rule sets while you perform the rest of the installation.

If you don't want to do it now, don't worry. There will be a reminder to come back here at the end of this document.

Deployment Scenarios

This is directly necessary for the Globalyzer Workbench for i18n Specialists deployment scenario. The other scenarios that use Globalyzer also require this by proxy, since they will require you to craft rule sets:

Prerequisites

  • Java 7 JDK or greater. A JDK is required (do not use a JRE).
  • MySQL 5.6 or greater (optional).
    • The Globalyzer Client can use either MySQL or HSQLDB. If you choose MySQL, you will need MySQL 5.6 or greater. If you choose HSQLDB, you do not need to install anything.

Installation

Log in to the Globalyzer Server (either www.globalyzer.com or your own internal server) and click the Client download link at the bottom of the page. Read and follow the instructions. You may install with any configuration - with or without the optional packages.

TODO: Login stuff

Verification

Open the Globalyzer Workbench and enter valid login credentials to the server. If you don't currently know any login credentials you'll either need to:

  • Use your admin account on the Globalyzer Server to create a user (If you've installed the server yourself)
  • Refer to the credentials Lingoport has given you (If you are using www.globalyzer.com.

If you're able to log in successfully, you should be good to go.

Post Installation

Now may be a good time to have i18n specialists begin crafting rule sets. That way they can work in parallel while you complete the rest of the installation.

Install Globalyzer Lite on the Developer Machines

This step may be performed at any time during or after the rest of the installation.

If you don't want to do it now, don't worry. There will be a reminder to come back here at the end of this document.

Deployment Scenarios

Prerequisites

Installation

Unzip the globalyzer-lite-#.#.#.zip file at a location of your choosing. (# = version number).

From the globalyzer-lite-#.#.# directory, run either:

  • install-lite.sh (Linux)
  • install-lite.bat (Windows).

Verification

This step is optional.

If you have not yet created a rule set on the Globalyzer Server, create one. (Again, Lingoport's is at www.globalyzer.com). Pick a language based on the source code present on the developer machine (If no language is present, hop on github and copy a source file from your favorite repository).

Next, create a simple Project Definition xml file using the rule set. See the README for a template. Point it at a directory containing some code. Now execute Lite: java -jar globalyzer-lite.jar TheProjectDefinitionFileYouCreated.xml

Lite should run. No errors should occur. A report should be generated at the report location you have specified. Don't worry if the report contains no issues, or contains false positives. The rule set may need to be fine tuned, or the file may contain no i18n issues.

Post Installation

A README file in the globalyzer-lite-#.#.# directory contains basic instructions for using Globalyzer Lite.

Check the [Globalyzer Lite Help Pages] for more detailed instructions.

TODO: add a verification step TODO: add a what to do after step (reference docs on globalyer.com)

Setup the Build Server

Deployment Scenarios

It may also be necessary for the following:

Although custom modifications will be needed based on your currently setup code gate(s) / build systems. These modifications can vary significantly, and are beyond the scope of this document.

Base Prerequisites for the Build Server

There are several options here. Before proceeding, install the following prerequisites. They are necessary regardless of which option you pick.

The following are necessary for

  • The OS for the build server must be Linux, preferably Ubuntu.
    • If you are 100% sure you will not be using LRM, this is not required. However, if there's a chance you might want to use it later, it's probably best to stick with Linux. Otherwise you might have to migrate the entire build server setup from Windows to Linux later (what a pain).
  • Java 7 JDK or greater. The JDK is required by Globalyzer.
  • A Version Control System Client
    • Previous clients have used Git, Subversion, Team Foundation Server and even FTP.
    • If you wish to use a different version control system, check with us first. It should still probably work, but will need to be integrated with Jenkins.
    • TODO add link to Git (from Installation and Configuration)
    • TODO maybe add a page and link for [[SVN]
  • Jenkins -v 1.625.2 LTS or 1.638 or greater.
    • Jenkins, a continuous integration tool, is required. Jenkins enables nightly scanning and scheduled Dashboard updates. Additionally, Jenkins scripts, added as part of the LRM configuration, enable round-trip automation for managing resource files.

Install a Continuous Globalization Setup on the Build Server

Deployment Scenarios

Choose one of the three following installations:

  1. #Option 1: Globalyzer Lite
  2. #Option 2: Globalyzer CLI
  3. #Option 3: Custom Globalyzer API Setup

Option 1: Globalyzer Lite

For the Globalyzer Lite for Continuous Globalization scenario.

Prerequisites

See #Base Prerequisites for the Build Server

Installation

Acquire a copy of the globalyzer-lite-#.#.#.zip file (# = version numbers). Unzip the zip file at a location where jenkins has full permissions to access

  • If it exists, /home/jenkins/ is good.
  • Alternatively, create a 'lingoport' directory under /var/lib/jenkins/ and unzip there.

Unzipping will create a globalyzer-lite-#.#.# directory. Cd to the globalyzer-lite-#.#.# directory, then run 'install-lite.sh'.

Verify that the jenkins user has full permissions globalyzer-lite-#.#.# directory and its contents before continuing.

Verification

Now is a good time to double check that the 'jenkins' user has full permissions to Lite's install directory.

You may also want to run a test-scan with Lite as the jenkins user. Put some source code on your machine, and create a rule set for the appropriate programming language on the Globalyzer Server (Again, Lingoport's server is at www.globalyzer.com). A newly created rule set is fine for now. Or you may use any previously created one.

Next, follow Lite's README's instructions for setting up a project definition file. Log in as the jenkins user, then execute Lite.

java -jar globalyzer-lite.jar YourProjectDefinitionFile.xml

Check that Lite does not encounter any errors and successfully generated a report. Don't worry if the report has false positives, or is empty. The code may not contain i18n issues, and the rule set may need to be fine tuned.

Option 2: Globalyzer CLI

For the Globalyzer CLI for Continuous Globalization scenario.

TODO: remove this if not needed (depending on Mary's response). Note: This step is only necessary if you did not already install the Globalyzer Client in a location where the 'jenkins' user has full permissions to it.

Prerequisites

Installation

Log in to the Globalyzer Server and click on the Client download link at the bottom of the (post login) page. If you have not configured your own Globalyzer Server, use www.globalyzer.com.

Follow the instructions on the page reached from the client download link. Note that if you have a copy of the Globalyzer Client installer in your downloads folder, you may use it again. Take special care to:

  • Install the Globalyzer Client in a location where the 'jenkins' user will have full permissions.
    • You may wish to install the client as the 'jenkins' user.
  • Install all optional packages (Globalyzer CLI, Globalyzer Ant Tasks). They will be installed by default.

Verification

Now is a good time to double check that the 'jenkins' user has full permissions to the Client's install directory.

You may also attempt to scan some source code. See the Globalyzer Command Line Client Reference. You'll first want to log in (you'll need a username and password on the Globalyzer Server). Then you'll want to scan your code (see "Scan Command and Options").

Option 3: Custom Globalyzer API Setup

Prerequisites

See #Base Prerequisites for the Build Server

Installation

For the Globalyzer API for Continuous Globalization scenario.

This option offers a lot of power, and may take on a variety of forms.

may be set up at your own discretion. You will quite possibly (but not necessary) want to set up MySQL 5.6 (or greater) for use with the Globalyzer API.

TODO: Go to [| www.globalyzer.com ] and read up on the API

Verification

Now that you've set up program(s) to utilize the API, check that it/they can scan source code and generate reports. Make sure they're runnable by the 'jenkins' user.

Install the Lingoport Resource Manager Server on the Build Server

Deployment Scenarios

Prerequisites

All #Base Prerequisites for the Build Server

  • The OS for the build server must be Linux, preferably Ubuntu.

Pre-Installation

You will probably want to be familiar with the pages under About LRM before continuing. It's good to know what you are dealing with.

Installation

The LRM Installation is a complicated process. Follow the instructions under LRM Installation and Configuration.

Verification

TODO

Setup the Dashboard Server System

Deployment Scenarios

It is also recommended for:


Prerequisites

Installation

See the Dashboard Installation page for the full instructions.

Verification

Open a web browser on any computer within the same network as the Dashboard Server and browser to the server url/ip followed by the dashboard's port if necessary. The Dashboard page should load.

If you're typing in an IP, it should look something like this: 10.1.10.235
Alternatively the server url might look something like this: devlingo

TODO: Installing the Dashboard Client

Finishing Up

If you installed either LRM or the dashboard, but did not get through all of their configuration steps, now is the time to go back and complete these steps.

If you plan to use the Globalyzer Workbench and/or Globalyzer Lite, but skipped their installation steps, then now is the time to go back and do them. See:
