Installation via the Zenoss Stack DEB

Installation via the zenoss-stack DEB
=====================================

1. Download the latest version of the package from
   http://dev.zenoss.org/downloads. Begin installation:
    
    $ dpkg -i zenoss-stack-2.2.0-0.deb

Alternatively, you can add the Zenoss repository to /etc/apt/sources.list:

    # Zenoss repository
    deb http://dev.zenoss.org/deb main stable

Then:
    
    $ apt-get update
    $ apt-get install zenoss-stack

2. Zenoss will be installed in /usr/local/zenoss. Start it using:

    $ /etc/init.d/zenoss-stack start

3. The package will create a zenoss user with a home directory at /home/zenoss.
   In order to run commands that are specified in the Zenoss admin guide,
   you must become the zenoss user.  If you know your root password,
   use the su command to become root, then to become zenoss:

    $ su - root
    # su - zenoss

   If you don't know your root password, use the sudo command:

    $ sudo su - zenoss

   If you would prefer not to become the zenoss user, you can also run:

    $ /usr/local/zenoss/zenconsole

   To enter a shell with the Zenoss environment. You can then start/stop
   daemons, enter zendmd, and perform other command line tasks.
