In this chapter we're going to set up all the software required to implement and execute the code that we will be writing along the book. More specifically, we're going to:
While writing this book, a couple of Unix-like operating systems were used, more specifically Mac OS X and Ubuntu. So, when referencing a directory path, the format adopted is /some/folder
. If you are a Windows user, the equivalent path would be C:somefolder
.
The base folder used in the book is /opt/packt/
. Inside it, we're going to add a few more folders to accommodate the necessary components. Here's the basic structure you have to create before moving on to the next section:
/opt/packt/ |- domains |- etc |- install |- workspace
Of course, you don't need to follow the preceding definitions. If so, just remember to change the references accordingly, when mentioned.
