This was a Google Summer of Code 2007 Project. This introduces two new files, admin/cliupgrader.php and lib/installlib.php. It also introduces a new PEAR library, Console_GetOpt. I have recieved permission from the upstream author to include this in GPL Moodle (essentially dual license it) - notes in lib/pear. Most stuff that outputs html during install gets suppressed by the use of a constant. Run the script like php admin/cliupgrade.php --help for info. Note that this all uses strings from install/ rather than lang, so I have updated stringnames.txt accordingly and they'll all be broken until the cronjob that generates them runs.
README $Id$ ------ QUICK INSTALL ============= For the impatient, here is a basic outline of the installation process, which normally takes me only a few minutes: 1) Move the Moodle files into your web directory. 2) Create a single database for Moodle to store all it's tables in (or choose an existing database). 3) Visit your Moodle site with a browser, you should be taken to the install.php script, which will lead you through creating a config.php file and then setting up Moodle, creating an admin account etc. 4) Set up a cron task to call the file admin/cron.php every five minutes or so. For more information, see the INSTALL DOCUMENTATION: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_Moodle A local copy can also be found in lang/en_utf8/help/install.html (or your language) Good luck and have fun!
