If you are installing a system using Backtalk accounts,
read the other version of this page.
If you are upgrading a previous Backtalk installation:
- Backup Your Old Files:
The install scripts will not save your old customizations. You should make a
backup of your old installation. The following files are especially likely
to have been customized on your site, and may be especially important to save:
script/config.bt
script/pistachio/config.bt
script/abalone/config.bt
- Don't run 'make install-bbs'.
This may mess up all your existing conferences.
If you already have Picospan or Yapp installed on your system, don't
do 'make install-bbs'. We will be using Picospan or Yapp's bbs directory
and we don't want to reinitialize it.
To install Backtalk, run the following commands as root:
make install-binaries
make install-scripts
# if you want to make a new conference directory:
make install-bbs
