                    How to Install Web Man Alpha 009
===========================================================================

  Web Man can be installed on a local workstation, or on a remote server.

  Release Alpha 009 requires some Perl modules. You can install them with 
CPAN. See Requirements below.

System requirements
-------------------
 o Linux. Ubuntu is a fine platform for Web Man; many other Linux distributions
   will probably work.
 o Apache 2 or 2.2, Perl 5.
 o FireFox or Chrome under any OS for the client. This release is known not
   to work with Internet Explorer. It has not been tested with any other.
 o CPAN. The installer script uses that to install URI, HTML::Tree, and 
   LWP::UserAgent. There are lots of dependencies, but CPAN can install the
   other modules needed to satisfy them.
 o make and gcc. CPAN needs those to make some of the modules.

Recommended
-----------
 o Fast mirrors for CPAN in your urllist. The default ones here in northern
   New Jersey are turtle slow. At the cpan prompt, "o conf init urllist".
 o Perl module Time::HiRes.

Installation
------------
  Become root. Change into the directory where you want your workspace.
  That should be someplace that Apache can reach, its DocumentRoot or some
directory below it. I usually test with /var/www/testspace or 
/var/www/wmspace/workspace, where /var/www is my Apache's DocumentRoot.
  Then download the installer script with a Source Forge download link,
or with

  wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/webmann/files/releases/alpha009/wm_install.pl

  Then run it with Perl. It will download and extract all the rest of 
what you need, and walk you through the installation process.
