Consult the Installation Guide to install CSM Server.

This section assumes that CSM Server has been installed on /usr/local/csm and you wanted to upgrade to the latest code. Copy csm-master.zip to /usr/local and unzip its contents.

$ cd /usr/local
$ unzip csm-master.zip

$ cd /usr/local/csm/csmserver
$ ./csmserver stop

If you have previously made modifications to csmserver launch script (e.g. use a different python interpreter) or database.ini (e.g. use different username and password to connect to the database), you will need to make the same changes here.

$ vi /usr/local/csm-master/csmserver/csmserver
$ vi /usr/local/csm-master/csmserver/database.ini

Rename the current CSM Server directory to csm_old and the csm-master to csm.

$ cd /usr/local
$ mv csm csm_old              
$ mv csm-master csm

$ cd /usr/local/csm/csmserver
$ ./csmserver start

Copy the virtual environment directory (e.g. env) which contains python interpreter and library modules, to the new application directory.

$ cd /usr/local/csm/csmserver
$ cp –R /usr/local/csm_old/csmserver/env .
$ source env/bin/activate
$ ./csmserver start
