Installation

Web server

Have your *AMP server ready.
Under Linux, there's always some packages you can install to have a ready LAMP server ready in a few minutes.

For Ubuntu, install following packages using this kind of command from the shell :

sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql phpmyadmin

For Windows, you can use Wamp or EasyPHP.
For Mac, you can use MAMP

Ardamon files

Download the latest Ardamon release here : [http://sourceforge.net/projects/ardamon/files/]

The files are to be placed on the webserver (usually /var/www or /var/www/html). You can use a subfolder if you like (ex : /var/www/Ardamon)

Copy the /configuration-sample.php to /configuration.php and give the apache user read rights on every file in your Ardamon folder.

Under Ubuntu, you can do it in the shell with :

sudo chown -R apache2:apache2 /var/www/Ardamon/*.*

Edit the file to suit your Mysql configuration (usually, you only have to change the password between the brackets to what you entered during MySQL installation).

Database

Using /Database/ardamon.sql (the database dump file), create the MySQL database using a tool like phpmyadmin (provided with almost every *AMP solution, refer to your documentation to know how to access it).

Your server should be up and running !

Sensor management

Next task is to add [Sensor types] and sensors.
