Getting the Open Atrium files

Getting the Open Atrium files

Before you can install Open Atrium, you need to get the files. There are two different methods for this:

• Using Releases from Drupal.org (recommended)
  
  Official releases of Open Atrium are available on the drupal.org project page. Click the link for the "gz" or "zip" archive of files for the latest release. Older releases are also available, though not recommended. Once you have downloaded this file calculate and verify its MD5 Hash value against published one to ensure it isn't corrupted. Use your systems unarchive or unzip software to extract all the files from the archive. These files form the "root" or top-level of your web site, so transfer them to the appropriate top level location of your web server. This will replace any existing Drupal or other web site that you have, so if you are overwriting existing files, be sure to make a BACKUP first!
   
  
• Using "git" and "drush make" for the latest -dev version (for expert Drupal devs)
  
  (NOTE: These instructions are for *nix-based systems, such as Linux or MacOSX. Windows users will need to research how to use these tools on their system).
  If you require the absolute latest development version of Open Atrium, you need to be familiar with the "git" and "drush" tools:
  1. From a command line shell, run "git clone --branch 7.x-2.x http://git.drupal.org/project/openatrium.git" to download the latest version of Open Atrium to the "openatrium" folder on your computer.
  2. Move to that folder using "cd openatrium"
  3. Download and build the files for Open Atrium using the script "./build.sh path-to-web-server". For example, if the root of your webserver is in /htdocs/drupal, then you would use "./build.sh /htdocs/drupal". This will build OA2 using the latest -dev files from drupal.org. For the *absolute* latest code, you can get the development code from github by running "./build-dev.sh path-to-web-server" instead. This script requires the "drush" command and uses "drush make" to download and build all of the dependencies for Open Atrium 2. You should be using at least Drush 5.x.

If you receive the following error message when you attempt to build the the files, you will need to install the Drupal.org Drush commands.

The drush command 'verify-makefile' could not be found. Run drush cache-clear drush to clear the commandfile cache if you have installed new extensions.
