As root, copy and paste this line onto your terminal

curl -L 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appcove/acn-linux/master/meta/bs1.sh' > acnsh && bash acnsh && . /etc/profile

This does several things:

1. Install EPEL
2. Install git
3. Clone acn-linux into /opt/acn-linux
4. Append to the python sys.path (/opt/acn-linux/python2.6)
5. Append to the system $PATH (/opt/acn-linux/bin)

acn-setup

This will guide you through each setup step. We recommend you run them in order, as some depend on others.

Calling program used to call other programs.

Set the system timezone. US/Eastern is the default. This command shows you the time before and after it is run, so any issues may be spotted.

Usage Example:

# acn-setup-timezone

The Time is: Mon Nov 19 22:30:25 EST 2012

Set the timezone (yes)?
Enter the timezone (US/Eastern): US/Pacific

NOW, the Time is: Mon Nov 19 19:30:32 PST 2012

How it works:

1. Ask user for valid timezone. Verify against /usr/share/zoneinfo/*/*
2. Update the ZONE line in /etc/sysconfig/clock
3. run tzdata-update, which updates /etc/localtime

Update to the latest version of ACN. It is assuming you are sitting on the master branch, so if you are not, it will not work as expected.

Usage Example:

# acn-update-self

Do you want to update "/opt/acn-linux" to the latest? (yes)?
