Installation

Unix installation

Please check UNIX Installation for a detailed view of how to install Kepler on Unix machines (including OSX).

Windows installation

Installing Kepler on Windows does not require any C compiler and should work on any Windows machine with internet access.

1. Download LuaRocks and install it using install /SCRIPTS c:\luarocks\0.5.2
2. Add the LuaRocks scripts dir to your system path (the same directory used in the /SCRIPTS parameter above)
3. Install Kepler and Xavante using luarocks install kepler-xavante
4. Configure everything using setup-kepler and following the instructions
5. Use xavante to run Xavante as a tray bar application, or use 'xavante_start' to run Xavante from the command prompt. Another option is to run Kepler using CGI
