How to download and install Wirefetch.
You will need the following programs installed in order to use wirefetch:
* php4: at least version 4.3.0. (allow_url_fopen should be enabled).
* mysql: in case you want to use mysql. (you can turn it off too).
* in case you want to use i18n dates, you'll need to install the needed locales.
* in case you'll use image resizing, install php4-gd2
* in case you need to convert feeds, you'll need iconv support.
tarballs
You can download tarballs from our releases at our codecoop.org download page.
cvs
You can checkout wirefetch from cvs this way:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.codecoop.org:/cvsroot/wirefetch login if it asks for a password, hit the enter-key
If you want the latest stable release type:
$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.codecoop.org:/cvsroot/wirefetch checkout -r wirefetch_v0_9_2 wirefetch
To get the current cvs type:
$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.codecoop.org:/cvsroot/wirefetch checkout wirefetch
debian
If you use debian unstable, you can download a debian package from our download page. Then do the following:
# apt-get install php4-mysql php4-gd php4-cli # dpkg -i wirefetch_0.9.3-1_i386.deb
Then as your normal user, copy the sample config file into your home:
$ cp /usr/share/wirefetch/wirefetch.conf.ex $HOME/.wirefetch.conf
(the debian package is still being tested).
This is real simple; wirefetch works in the directory you copied the files into. The only thing left is just writing/editing your configuration file.
$ php wirefetch.php4
To see the help file:
$ php wirefetch.php4 --help
Have fun with it.
