The Qube installer is a Wizard-style installation utility that will download and install Qube! components. It is has pre-defined component selections based on the role this computer will fill. A typical worker will simply select "worker" from the component selection page. A typical client machine (artist workstation) will choose "client".
The installer is designed to be run on a machine with a working internet connection, and we suggest saving the downloaded components to a network drive.
Once components have been downloaded, the installer can be run again on other machines without accessing the internet by pointing it to the download location used by the previous install session, assuming the files that were previously downloaded are visible to the new machine.
A typical install should require very little user input - simply walk through the pages until you have finished. The final page will give you several wrap-up options based on the actions of the installer.
Note that you must have administration privileges to install software. For Windows users, you may want to right-click > "Run as Administrator". For Linux users, you must run as root or a sudoer. OS X users will be prompted to enter an admin password before installation begins.
The installation wizard consists of the following pages:
Page: 1. Introduction
Page: 2. License Agreement
Page: 3. Select Package Manifest
Page: 4. Component Selection
Page: 5. Download and Verify page
Page: 6. Installation and Upgrade
