In this lesson, we're going to learn how to install the tools required to manage a monkey installation.
Now I'm doing this on a perfectly clean machine.
The first step that you need to do is download a couple of tools.
And so the tools that we have are both monkey admin, which is the graphical interface I showed you
in the demo, and then monkey tools.
Now, monkey tools are both the programs that go on the client machine and they are also the tools that
go on your admin machine.
Now, let's go ahead and install monkey tools.
And while that installs, we'll go ahead and install the Edman.
Now, it's going to prevent me with two symbolic links, it's a drag and drop program, and so I'm going
to go ahead and put it in applications, but that's up to you.
You can go ahead and put in new toys if you would prefer it there.
And now after that, it says that we need to restart the machine.
So let's go ahead and give our machine a restart.
All right, so with our machine back up, our next step is going to be to mount a share to our Web server.
So what we're going to need to be able to do is write files to the to the web server from our local
machine.
So I'm going to do that with a Sombat connection.
So basically, I have the same share on my Web server that goes right into the root of of where the
Monkey Republic is going to be.
And so we're going to go ahead and make that connection and then let's go ahead and open up safari and
then just have it open up to our our monkey repo.
Now, as you can see, our monkey repo is completely empty.
So the next step is to configure our monkey tools and so we're going to go ahead and do a monkey import
and then run configure, which is the configuration command, and it's going to ask us for the user
out to our repo.
And here we're going to go ahead and put in our Sambor share, not our URL.
And then for the rest of these options, I'm going to just pretty much choose the default.
So we're going to want our package info to be police files and we're going to not open up our package
info in the Publius because we're going to use the Mac, the Monkey Admin Guey Tools instead and then
the default catalog.
Let's go ahead and do testing, and that's pretty much it.
So anyway, so now monkey is configured.
And so to test it, let's go ahead and actually do a quick import of something into monkey.
I'm not going to go into a lot of detail because we will when we talk about importing software.
So let's go ahead and import and we're going to go ahead and just import monkey because we've already
got it in our downloads folder.
So it's going to give us a name.
Let's just go ahead and go through all these options.
And then let's go ahead and import the item and let's go ahead and rebuild the catalogs, and now you
can see over here with with monkey importing something that are everything to our Samish here.
And then if we refresh our Web page, you can see that it matches over here.
And now let's go ahead and go into applications and let's go ahead and launch monkey admen.
And monkey admen is going to want to know where our repo is, and so what we need to do is point it
to our monkey server and then our monkey share to get us to where our catalogs are.
And then we're going to go ahead and hit open and it's going to bring everything in.
And here are the monkey tools that we had imported.
So there you go.
We've configured a station so we can manage a monkey environment.
