Hi Chris,

The idea was to use the installer without the host being connected to the public network, eg. a 1918 network. The documentation (snippet below) suggested that this was possible, so I copied the tar balls to the same directory as the installer jar. The documentation also suggested that the installer prompted for local or network install, which the installer didn't do. Just trying to confirm if i was missing something. Make sense?

It will install the first time without using local files.  Then once things are downloaded, stop tomcat and hsql, and put some jars in the API lib/custom directory.  Then run the installer again, but dont download or extract the tarballs again, and it should build the UI/WS with your jars.  Is that what you want?

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: [grouper-dev] grouper installer 2.1.0 - local files?

I'm using local files for grouperInstaller.jar, but don't see an option for using local files which are in the jar's directory.

sudo java -jar grouperInstaller.2.1.jar 

Enter in the Grouper install directory (note: better if no spaces or special chars) [/home/downloads/grouper/grouperinstaller-2.1]: /apps/grouper/grouper-2.1.0

Installing grouper version: 2.1.0

Downloading from URL: http://www.internet2.edu/grouper/release/2.1.0/grouper.apiBinary-2.1.0.tar.gz to file: /apps/grouper/grouper-2.1.0/grouper.apiBinary-2.1.0.tar.gz

Running without network

The Grouper installer requires the internet to download the Grouper tarballs.  If you want to run this without the network, download all the tarballs (example links for 2.0.2) (apiBinary, ui, ws, client) and the subjects file (into subjects.sql), and quickstart file (into quickstart.xml), ant, tomcat to the install directory.  When the script asks if you want to use the local files, type: t (or just <Enter> since the default is t)

Thanks,

Jeff
