Installation Packages

For each operating system, the Ejscript binary installation is available in two file formats:

• Native operating system package format (RPM on Linux, PKG on MAC OS X, and Zipped Windows Installer Executable)
• Archive for custom installations (Compressed Tar)

It is recommended that you use the native installation format unless you want exact control over the placement of all the installation components. It will will register the software installation with the system's software manager so that you can query, verify, uninstall and easily manage the software on your system.

A source distribution is also available in two formats: GZIP and ZIP.

Installation Options

The Ejscript binary installation packages contain three sub-packages: (TODO confirm)

• Binary distribution
• Development libraries and headers
• Documentation and sample source code

The Ejscript installation procedure allows you to select which sub-packages you wish to install. If you are experienced with Ejscript and only wish to run Ejscript, install just the binary distribution. If you are new to Ejscript, accept the defaults which will install all the sub-packages as the total install is quite small and uses minimal system resources.

External Packages

Ejscript integrates with other 3rd party packages such as OpenSSL or MatrixSSL and also may be built for specific environments such as uClibc and uClinux. See installing with External Package for details.

Source Code

The Ejscript source code is provided as a separate download distribution. It is also available via theh source code repository for developers who wish to participate in the development of Ejscript.

Upgrading

If upgrading from a previous version, please save your configuration files, custom modules and other data and then remove the previous version of Ejscript. Then install the new release and apply your configuration to the new release.
