Installing on Windows

This page is OBSOLETE. New version can be found here.

As NorfelloCMMS is based on the Ruby on Rails framework, the first task is to install Ruby and Rails on your Windows system.

Installing Ruby

The easiest way to install Ruby is to use the One-Click Ruby Installer for Windows. Just download the exe file and run it. In order to make rest of the Norfello CMMS OS installing process easier, select the checkbox: "set ruby to path"

Installing other dependencies

After installation of Ruby you should be able to do following: Open "Command prompt"

Start|
     |--Programs|
                |--Accessories|
                             |--Command Prompt

Next you should install the Rails framework and the other dependencies. Type this to the prompt you opened:

gem install -y rails redcloth gettext rubyzip

Download the zip archive of the Rmagick binary gem, extract it, and type in the extracted directory (in the command prompt):

    gem install rmagick --local

You should see:

    Successfully installed rmagick, version 1.13.0

Installing Database

NorfelloCMMS OS currently supports following databases:

• MySQL 4.1 or later
• PostgreSQL 8.0 or later
• SQLite 3.0.0 or later

Installing MySQL

Mysql AB provides an installer which makes the job easy. Just download the installer and run it. Don't forget the password you give in install process'''
