<h1>

<a name="Pegasus Installation">Pegasus Installation</a> </h1>

Pegasus today is provided only as a source distribution.

To install Pegasus, you must check it out using CVS (Common Version System)

or download a snapshot. You download, compile, and use it.

For the snapshot, the installation of Pegasus involves expanding the snapshot

distribution files, building the runtime, the test files and test clients, and

building the repository.

<h1>

<a name="Building Pegasus">Building Pegasus </a>

</h1>

1. Check that you have requisite programs (listed in Pegasus Dependencies).

These include GNU Make, MU.EXE (if using Windows), Flex, and Bison (Flex

and Bison only required if changes will be made to the MOF compiler or WQL

parser).

Be sure these are on the path.

2. Define the following three environment variables:

<ul>

<li>PEGASUS_ROOT - this should be the "pegasus" directory you've pulled from CVS

</li>

<li>PEGASUS_HOME - to point to a directory to contain output binary files

(e.g., set it to $HOME/pegasus_home). Then the output will go into

$HOME/pegasus_home/bin and $HOME/pegasus_home/lib

</li>

<li>PEGASUS_PLATFORM - this must be set to a supported platform identifier.

</li>

</ul>

PEGASUS_ROOT=<location of your pegasus source tree>

This identifier has the following form:

PEGASUS_HOME=<location for the built executables, repository, etc>

<Operating-System>_<Architecture>_<Compiler>

For example (Linux on IA32 platform using the GNU Compiler):

LINUX_IX86_GNU

For a complete list of platforms supported and platform support keywords, refer to the platform_ make files found in directory 

pegasus/mak

PEGASUS_PLATFORM=<your platform>

</blockquote>

For a list of valid

platforms, enter "make listplatforms" from the root of the Pegasus

Note: if you plan on doing parallel builds, you might consider setting

source tree.

PEGASUS_HOME to something like this:

<a name="Testing a Pegasus Installation">Testing a Pegasus Installation</a></h1>

Pegasus includes an extensive set of test facilities  as part of the CVS

enviromentthat can be executed including:<ul>

<li>Test Clients - There are several clients that have been built

specifically to test Pegasus or parts of Pegasus including TestClient, Client,

CLI, ipinfo, osinfo, WbemEsec, etc. See the src/Clients directory for more

information. These programs require a server complete with repository to be

running.  Note that some of these tests use classes and instances that

are only installed with the "make testrepository" functions including test

namespaces and extra classes and instances in those namespaces and additional

providers from the providers/sample and proviers/testproviders directories.</li>

<li>Sample and test providers -  Test providers exist for the

major provider types in the providers/sample directories and the providers/testProviders

directory</li>

<li>Unit Tests - Most Pegasus functions include unit tests for the

functions.  These are normally executed with the "make tests" command

which can be executed at many different levels of the source tree from the top

level to execute all of the unit tests to individual directories. 

Usually the unit test functions can be found in test directories immediately

below their corresponding source code (i.e  common/tests is the unit test

functions for the common directory). Unit tests are executed without the

server being operational and normally do not require the existence of a Class

repository.</li>

<li>An end-to-end Test Suite - the directory "test" contains a set of

operations tests that cover the major CIM operations.  See the make file

TestMakefile in the PEGASUS_ROOT directory to execute these tests.  This

set of tests executes an extensive set of fixed tests and compares the results

against predefined results.</li>

</ul>

<h1>

<a name="Registering Providers in the Pegasus Environment">Registering Providers

in the Pegasus Environment</a></h1>

Pegasus registers providers with a set of provider registration classes, not

using the provider qualifier as is done in most DMTF CIM CIMOM implementations

today. This set of classes is close to but not exactly the same as the current

DMTF definition (See the DMTF Interop schema, experimental versions starting

with 2.6). This will be harmonized in the future when the DMTF scheme is moved

to final status.

Registration is performed by defining a MOF for the instances of the

registration classes that represent the porvider module, providers, classes,

etc. to be registered.  The easiest way to create a new registration today

is to copy from one of the existing registration MOFs.  See the

providers/sample/load directory for examples of several registration instance

implementations that do work with Pegasus today.

Building Pegasus on Windows 2k or Windows XP with Microsoft Visual C++ </a></h1>

Use of Windows 2000 SP3 or later is recommended.  Pegasus is regularly

tested on both Windows 2000 and Windows XP using the Microsoft compilers.

Today we build Pegasus on Windows using a set of make files contained

in the source distribution, the Microsoft compilers (DevStudio 5.x is not

supported, Visual Studio 6.0, SP5 is supported) and the GNUMAKE make utility. 

Note that you MUST have the Pegasus <a href="#The MU Utility">mu.exe </a>utility
