miniBIRCH - Download
Install the miniBIRCH framework
As described in the article, a directory hierarchy, containing
administration scripts and files can serve as the framework for
building your own BIRCH site.
- Create a home directory for BIRCH eg.
mkdir
/home/u10/demo22/public_html/birch
chmod a+rx /home/u10/demo22/public_html/birch
cd /home/u10/demo22/public_html/birch
(The BIRCH home directory could be anywhere you choose. It doesn't have
to be /home/birch.)
- Go to BIRCH download page to get the BIRCH
framework file
- Unzip the framework file eg.
gunzip
framework.mini.tar.gz
mv
framework.mini.tar.gz /home/u10/demo22/public_html/birch
- Recreate the BIRCH directory structure eg.
cd /home/u10/demo22/public_html/birch
tar xvpf
framework.mini.tar
NOTE: The 'p'
option is essential for this tar command to make sure that file
permissions are preserved as in the original directory hierarchy!
The BIRCH home directory should look something like this:
{malcolm:/home/birch}ls -l
total 52
