Compile from source code

Compile requirements

You will need to have installed:

• Lightbend Activator

Clone GitHub repository

git clone https://github.com/camilosampedro/Aton.git

Try it in non-production mode

activator run

Compile it with activator

You can generate your own native package with the following syntax

activator [target]:packageBin

target can be replaced depending on the target package format. The following are included:

• rpm for RPM based Linux distributions. You will need rpmbuild installed
• debian for Debian based Linux distributions. You will need dpkg installed
• windows for generating a MSI installation file. You will need wix installed
• jdkPackage for generating a Java file.

Service

When you install from a release file you will have a service called aton in your system (For reference, located in /etc/init/aton.conf) that can be managed with service:

• To start: sudo service aton start
• To restart: sudo service aton restart
• To stop: sudo service aton stop
• To check status: sudo service aton status

Port

By default, Aton uses Play Framework's default port: 9000. If you want to start Aton on another port, you can do it by editing the service script /etc/init/aton.conf. You will need to look for a segment similar to

# Start the process
script
  exec sudo -u aton bin/aton
end script

And add -Dhttp.port=THE_NEW_PORT

# Start the process
script
  exec sudo -u aton bin/aton -Dhttp.port=8080
end script

• RAM: 512 mb
• Cores: 1 core @ 1.60GHz

Managed computers

• Operatings system: Linux Mint Debian Edition 2
• RAM: ~4 gb (Some have 2gb, others have 8gb)
• Processors: Intel core 2 Duo and Intel core i7
• A room full of software engineering students! Most of them use IDEs, test commands, navigate through SSH.
