Installation Guide

OP2 has some dependencies:

    * bluez >= 4.38 with RSSI patch. It will not work with BlueZ 3.X. Might work with versions previous to 4.38, RSSI patch is needed if you want to get accurate RSSI meassures.
    * obexftp > svn revision 255 with tries and timeout patch.
    * django (included in op2 package)
    * rpyc (included in op2 package)
    * python dbus, pygobject
    * lxml
    * pysqlite
    * some other that could be missing?

SLAX packages are available this were tested with Slax 6.1.1, a SLAX enabled pen drive with everything needed to run OpenProximity 2.0 can be bought directly from AIRcable.net.

Others not using our ServerXR or Slax can port our automatic build scripts to they're distros. OP2 related packages can be found at:
http://kienhoefer.com/~manuel/kwort_repo/devel/build/bluez-4/
http://kienhoefer.com/~manuel/kwort_repo/devel/build/obexftp-svn/

If you got your ServerXR after December 08 (check at the bottom if this is not your case) you can install OP2 easily by doing:
kpkg update
kpkg upgrade
kpkg install bluez4 obexftp-svn lxml pysqlite openproximity2
service unregister bluetooth
service unregister obex-data-server
service register bluetooth4 "BlueZ4"
service add bluetooth4
service register openproximity2 "OpenProximity 2.0"
service add openproximity2
openproximity2

This will install and make openproximity2 automatic launch every time you boot your ServerXR. The last call is to create the initial database. During this process you'll be asked for some account details like administration user mail password and email, please fill all of them.

Once this is done you can point your web browser to your ServerXR ip and take control on the system.

If your ServerXR is older than December 08 then get in touch with us at info@aircable.net to get the upgrade instructions.
