Tiivistelmä
This thesis is done for Oulu University of Applied Sciences (OUAS) School of Business and Information Management. The main objective of the thesis is to implement a software installation system for OpixManager that supports local and remote server installation. At moment new users may need to do the manual installation before execution. Database creation and configuration have to be done by hand based on the tutorial that is available on OpixProject website. However, the manual installation process is not convenient for end users. Therefore, an automatic system is to be developed to enable simple and quick installation for users. In addition, the personal goal of this thesis is to learn how to implement the installation system for open-source software and new web development technologies.
This research covers the knowledge base and development of installation system for Opix-Manager. Primarily, concepts of web application installation procedures and usability are studied before the implementation. Installation process and technology behind the OpixManager needs to be revised in order to develop an installation system. In addition, other installation systems like Wordpress will be studied to get ideas for implementation. The practical part will focus on implementing a tool for OpixManager to perform the installation process with simple and friendly web-based user interface, which can fulfill requirements of the commissioner.
