Installation Overview

Please read the overview information below, then refer to the specific instructions for your operating system:

Installation Packages

For each operating system, the Appweb installation package is available in two package formats:

It is recommended that you use the native package format unless you want exact control over the placement of all the installation components. The native package will register the software installation with the system's software manager so that you can subsequently query, verify, uninstall and easily manage the software on your system.

The Appweb source distribution is available in two formats: GZIP and ZIP.

Installation Options

The Appweb binary installation packages contains two sub-packages:

The Appweb installation procedure allows you to select which sub-packages you wish to install. If you are experienced with Appweb and wish to only run Appweb, install just the binary package. If you are new to Appweb, accept the defaults. This will install all the sub-packages. With the default settings, the total install size is quite small and uses minimal system resources.

External Packages

Appweb integrates with other 3rd party packages such as OpenSSL or MatrixSSL and also may be built for specific environments such as uClibc and uClinux. See installing with External Package for details.

Source Code

The Appweb source code is provided as a separate download distribution. It is also available via the source code repository for developers who wish to participate in the development of Appweb.

Upgrading
