Installing d3 in your Casper environment

Since d3 was originally developed for our own internal use, the setup process is still somewhat manual.

Setting it up at your site will require these things:

  • Casper 9.42 or higher
  • OS X 10.9 or higher on all admin and client computers
  • Administrator access to the MySQL database used by Casper
  • Administrator access to Casper's Web UI
  • Comfort using command-line-based tools in a terminal.

Please read through the Welcome Page for info about what d3 is and is not, as well as some basic vocabulary used throughout this documentation.

Here are the steps you'll be taking:

  1. Preparing the servers
  2. Policies, Scripts, and Extension Attributes
  3. Installing d3 on your own machine
  4. Expiration setup
  5. Editing the config files
  6. Adding your first package
  7. Deploy your first package to your machine
  8. Test sync for auto-updates
  9. Import packages from Casper
  10. Deploy d3

Feedback is encouraged! We've done our best to make this usable for the outside world, but there will no-doubt be hiccups in the beginning.

Thank you!
