Installation

Requirements

I use Linux Debian testing, but ebot can run on any Operating System supporting Erlang

Software

• erlang interpreter (for debian/ubuntu run “apt-get install erlang”): I use Erlang R14A
• make (for debian/ubuntu run “apt-get install make”)
• couchdb server: tested 0.11, see http://couchdb.apache.org/downloads.html, for debian/ubuntu run “apt-get install couchdb”) or riak server (see http://downloads.basho.com/riak/)
• rabbitmq server 2_4_0 (see http://www.rabbitmq.com/download.html, for debian/ubuntu see http://www.rabbitmq.com/debian.html#apt).

Erlang packages

Couchbeam

git clone http://github.com/benoitc/couchbeam.git
(cd couchbeam && make)

Riak Erlang Client

git clone https://github.com/basho/riak-erlang-client.git
(cd riak-erlang-client && make)

Webmachine

git clone https://github.com/basho/webmachine.git
(cd webmachine && make)

Rabbitmq Erlang Client

In order to compile Erlang Client, you need
to dowload the sources of rabbitmq-codegen and rabbitmq-server

hg clone -r rabbitmq_v2_4_1 http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-codegen/

hg clone -r rabbitmq_v2_4_1 http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-server/
(cd rabbitmq-server && make)

hg clone -r rabbitmq_v2_4_1 http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-erlang-client/
(cd rabbitmq-erlang-client && make)

Installation

• Download ebot from http://github.com/matteoredaelli/ebot/downloads or with “git clone git://github.com/matteoredaelli/ebot.git”
• cd ebot
• In deps/ you need to copy/link the previosly downloaded erlang packages
  - webmachine
  - rabbitmq-erlang-client
  - rabbit_common (move it from rabbitmq-erlang-client/deps)
  - couchbeam
  - riak-erlang-client (tested 0.14.1)

• Configure your preferred db backend (Couchdb or Riak) in src/ebot.hrl

• Configure DB port in src/ebot.app: {db_port, 5984} for Couchdb or {db_port, 8087} for Riak

• run “make”

Couchdb Backend

Create the database ebot with the web console
http://localhost:5984/_utils/

Riak Backend

Is the bucket “ebot” created automatically? maybe not… yes
