Introduction to the SBDD
 

This document describes how to build and deploy the Open Microscopy Environment (OME) software.

All the information that is necessary and strictly related to the build and deployment process is unfolded: a description of the project repository and its organization, directions on how to retrieve the files needed to build the system, a list of constraints that your system must satisfy if you want to build and deploy OME, and, of course, detailed build and deployment instructions.

  Purpose
 
 

The primary audience of this document are system administrators. However, the information provided is also meant as a support for new OME developers and as a reference for the OME development team. We also tried to make this document accessible to anybody that wants to install OME, nevertheless a reasonable experience with Unix-like systems is assumed.

  Readership
 
 

The rest of this document is organized in the following sections:

  • Section II - The Project Repository: Useful information about the CVS repository hosted at CVS-Dundee, source code organization, how to retrieve the source code.
  • Section III - Dependencies: Description of the platforms on which OME can be deployed, required libraries and licensing information.
  • Section IV - Building and Deploying OME: Explanation of the current deployment configuration along with build and deployment instructions. We also list specific configurations of the platforms that we use to verify the build and deployment process. Finally, we explain how to get support if you experience problems during installation and what information to provide.

Before you go ahead to the next section, please read carefully the following:


Disclaimer

The installation process described within this document refers to specific environments: the ones described in Section IV-3 (Verified Platforms).


We're working very hard to test and verify the build and deployment process on a wide range of different environments. As you may understand, the system has not been released yet and some development issues are still open.


In principle, if your system satisfies the dependencies described in Section III, you should be able to build and deploy OME on that system by following the instructions given in Section IV.
Please, let us know if you experience any problem during the build and deployment process of OME. Your feedback is precious to us and we provided directions on how you can supply the information that the development team will need to help you out. Please refer to Section IV-4 (Feedback).
