TANGO INSTALL

This project provides a Makefile to download, build and automatically setup TANGO and HDB++.

The project goals are:

• understand how to setup TANGO and HDB++ from scratch
• provide a reproducible TANGO environment for testing

Prerequesites

• a fresh installation of a supported operating system
  • Debian 9
• GNU make
• root privileges

Download

Download or clone the project into a Debian 9 virtual machine.

Note: it is very important to use --recursive otherwise the submodules are not downloaded.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/sblanchet/tango-install.git

Compile & Install

Then run make with root privileges.

cd tango-install
make install

TANGO will be installed into the directory /opt/tango

Tips

If the installation fails after tango compilation, and you wish to try a new HDB++ compilation without recompiling Tango (it is very long), run:

make install_hdbpp

Run

Run TANGO and its applications with the following command

make run

Help

If you need help, just run

make help
