Installation media

Before we can install CEINMS-RT, we need to get all the required files for installation. From the installer repo’s homepage on GitHub, click on the Code button, and then copy the clone URL to the clipboard. Clone the repository to a location of your choice. After cloning you will find all the dependencies required and a PowerShell script called installCEINMS.ps1.

Automatic installation

Now that everything is download correctly, we can run the PowerShell script by running PowerShell in administrator mode. This will open a new PowerShell terminal. PowerShell can run with different clearance depending on the execution policy in place. To view the execution policy, run the command:

Get-ExecutionPolicy

Depending on the return, you may need to change your execution policy. To do this, simply run the command:

Set-ExecutionPolicy UnRestricted

You might be prompted with a confirmation, to change the policy quickly, simply type A followed by Enter.

Next, move to the local installation folder using the cd command. Now, run the following command to start the installation process:

./installCEINMS.ps1

This will activate the PowerShell script.

As a first step all CEINMS-RT dependencies will be installed. You can keep track of any errors that may occur during the installation process.

Frequently encountered error messages and their corresponding fixes are listed in the Troubleshooting section.

If the installation proceeds without errors, you should be greeted with a directory selection window issuing you to select the output directory of the source code. The installation script will create a new folder in the designated directory named ceinms-rt in which the source files are stored. We will use this folder in the Compilation section.

As a final step the PowerShell script will compile the core of CEINMS-RT.
