Installation

Supported Platforms

Seal has been tested on Gentoo and Ubuntu. Although we haven’t tested it on other Linux distributions, we expect Seal to work on them as well. Platforms other than Linux are currently not supported.

Downloading

We’re a bit behind on our release schedule, so the latest official release has become a bit dated. We currently recommend you compile Seal from the master (stable) development branch:

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/biodoop-seal/code biodoop-seal-code

Don’t forget to also build the docs (the ones online are for versione 0.3).

If you prefer to use the official release you can download it from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/biodoop-seal/files/.

Detailed Installation Instructions

• Installing on Ubuntu (should work for Debian as well)
• Installing on Gentoo
• Generic installation

And then, see the deployment instructions/suggestions in the section Installation - Deploying.

Upgrading from previous versions

There is no particular upgrade procedure (but see the notes below). Just build and deploy Seal following the instructions in the section above.

Upgrading from 0.1.x or 0.2.x

Make sure you copy any custom property settings from the old launcher scripts under bin/ into a Seal configuration file.
