Installation¶

How do I install the z2-environment¶

One of the basic z2 paradigms is: "Don't install, just copy and run". The big benefit of a system-centric approach like z2 is, that the configuration is part of the system; it's like the source code (and there are good reasons to put configuration into code sometimes). The SCM should contain everything to get your system up a running. You got a new team member? "Copy" the system and start it. You have to scale out your productive site? Just copy the system to the new nodes and start them. "Copy" here means either "do a SVN checkout" or a "Git clone". The advantage over a plain copy is, that you can easily update or system with a simple "svn update" or "git pull".
