Installation

@@ +1 @@
+Currently there is no automated installation for the !BePorts system. Fortunately it is not a lot of work to do by hand. The following describes how to set up a local !BePorts tree and how to install BePorter.
+
+If you want to contribute to the !BePorts project by adding ports, you first need to [https://www.assembla.com/user/signup sign up] for an Assembla account. If you just want to build existing ports, you do not need an account.
+
+'''The !BePorts tree'''
+
+First, you need to check out the !BePorts tree using Subversion. I recommend placing it under /boot/develop/BePorts:
+
+{{{
+cd /boot/develop
+svn co http://tools.assembla.com/svn/BePorts/BePorts/trunk BePorts 
+}}}
+
+If you signed up for an Assembla account, you should provide your username with the {{{--username}}} option.
+
+'''!BePorter'''
+
+No BePorter releases have been made as of yet. For now, you can get the alpha version from the Subversion repository. Check out the !BePorter repository:
+
+{{{
+cd /boot/home/code
+svn co http://tools.assembla.com/svn/BePorts/beporter/trunk beporter 
+}}}
+
+The repository contains the executable {{{beporter}}} and the [BePortsConf BePorts.conf] file. Place {{{beporter}}} in {{{/bin}}}, and [BePortsConf BePorts.conf] in {{{/etc}}}. Do not forget to set the {{{PACKAGES_PATH}}} in [BePortsConf BePorts.conf] to where you've checked out the !BePorts tree.
