There are two major prerequisites, which have to be in place to install Tricia. Since Tricia is a Java application, a current (1.6) Java runtime has to be installed. Java can be downloaded from http://www.java.com.
We use Mercurial as our version control system, and we use it as well as our distribution channel, so you have to install Mercurial on your machine. Binary packages of Mercurial can be found at http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/BinaryPackages.
At first, go on the command-line to the folder in which you want to install Tricia, e.g., C:\webapps. Run the command
hg clone http://bitbucket.org/infoasset/tricia-installer tricia
This creates a folder tricia with our Installer in it. Then go into the folder /tricia/scripts/ and run the command
java -jar installer.jar new 2.4.2
This can take a while (1-3 minutes), creates the additional folders software, properties and data. Now you can start Tricia using the command
nt-run.bat
This will start Tricia on port 8084, and create an administration account with the login "mustermann@test.tricia" and the password "ottto".
A Tricia instance can be customized using the Configurator, which is started by the command:
java -jar installer.jar configure
Open a browser manually and go to the URL http://localhost:8088
Tricia - Printout
