Extracting the tar Archive

Make a note of the full path where you downloaded the DMO archive. For example, it may be in /tmp/dmo-2.0beta.tar.gz. Then extract the archive into your home directory (you can delete it after installation if you wish.) Extract the archive file using this command:

# cd /root
# tar xzvf /tmp/dmo-2.0beta.tar.gz
# cd /root/DMO/

This will create five folders, inside a directory DMO:

• dmo_new -- directory containing the DMO script files

• LFXlib -- directory containing the LFXlib script files

• sql -- directory containing scripts used to populate the database

• etc -- directory containing a file to be installed in /etc

• docs -- directory containing documentation on the DMO system

In addition, you will find other files, including a README. Please take some time to review that document now, as it contains the release notes and installation instructions, which may have changed since this documentation was written. Now you need to copy files into appropriate locations. The example below assumes you are using XAMPP; if you are not, then you might use a different Web root.

# cd /root/DMO
# cp -rv dmo_new/ /opt/lampp/htdocs/
# cp -rv LFXlib/ /opt/lampp/htdocs/
# cp -rv docs/ /opt/lampp/htdocs/
# cp htaccess /opt/lampp/htdocs/.htaccess
# cd /root/DMO/etc
# cp -rv LFX /opt/lampp/etc/
# mkdir /opt/lampp/data
# chown -R nobody.nogroup /opt/lampp/data /opt/lampp/htdocs/
