## .LRN Installation

### Getting the code from the openacs.org CVS repository You can get the code from the openacs.org cvs repository There are four packages you need to install in your `yourlrndirectory/packages` directory LORS `cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@openacs.org:/cvsroot co openacs-4/packages/lors` LORS Management `cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@openacs.org:/cvsroot co openacs-4/packages/lorsm` LORS Management Portlet `cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@openacs.org:/cvsroot \ co openacs-4/packages/lorsm-portlet` LORS Management Applet `cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@openacs.org:/cvsroot \ co openacs-4/packages/dotlrn-lorsm` ### Getting the code in a Tarball At the moment, there's no tarball. You can email me and I'll send you one ### Installing LORS Management in .LRN #### On a new installation If you haven't installed .LRN yet, you can add the following line to your `install.xml` file in your .LRN folder: `<application name="dotlrn" pretty-name=".LRN" home="http://openacs.org/projects/dotlrn" min_stack_size="512"><b> <actions> ... <install package="dotlrn-lorsm"/><br> ... </actions> <application>` Again, double-check that the four packages that you got from cvs are in the right directory: `yourlrndirectory/packages`. #### On an existing installation Note: remember that you need to must have installed file-storage vesion 5.1 in order for LORS to work. If your existing application runs on a lower version of file-storage, upgrading to 5.1 might break somethings. At the moment where this document was written, file-storage version 5.1 was not part of the .LRN 2.0.3 tarball. Once you have all four packages already in your `youlrndirectory/packages` and you have installed file-storage version 5.1 or higher, then you can install LORS Management by logging as an administrator and going to `http://yoursite.com/acs-admin`. Once there, you'll see a link to Install Software. Then, you will be prompted to choose whether you want to install an aplication or a service from the OpenACS.org repository or from your file system. Since you already checkout out the four packages from CVS and put them on your `yourlrndirectory/packages`, you can choose to install a service from your file system: Select now dotLRN LORS Management Applet ... and this will install all the dependencies accordingly... Now we are almost there, so just click on Install above packages and take it easy while you see the following screen: If no error messages appear, you'll see this screen: Now, click on restart your server.. And that's it folks, you've got yourself LORS Management! ### Add LORS Management to a class To add LORS Management to a class, just go to your admin class page and click on Manage Applets Click on the add LORS Management Applet Go back to your class page... Go back to your class page... And there you go... LORS Management ;-)
