Please refer to the README file contained in the fossology download for first time installation instructions.

If you are updating a previous fossology installation, please follow the update process below.

If the fossology scheduler is running, stop it with:

sudo /etc/init.d/fossology stop

Uncompress the fossology-0.9.0.tar.gz file into a build directory and build.

tar -xzvf fossology-0.9.0.tar.gz
cd fossology-0.9.0
make
make install
sudo ./install.sh -f

After successfully installing 0.9.0, you will need to generate a new scheduler.conf file using

/usr/local/fossology/agents/mkconfig

Invoke mkconfig with the -? option to see which options you should specify for your environment.

Restart the fossology scheduler with:

sudo /etc/init.d/fossology start

Open a browser & browse to the fossology repository:

http:<fossology host>/repo/

Login to fossology as user fossy.

Move your mouse over the “Admin” tab and click on “Initialize”.

After initialization is complete, select Organize→License→Default Terms

Next, select Admin→Database→Check Templates

Know Problem with “Help → About”

Problem: “Help → About” does not return any version/code revision.

Description: see above

Solution: make tar is not putting the version in the pathinclude.h.php.

This issue will be addressed in the next release.
