Installation Guidelines: Windows - End-User

This is a very common use case for Emergency Management workers in the field with poor connectivity to central servers.

It can be run on a Laptop or even on a USB stick.

Install Sahana-Eden

This installer is for End-Users:

• http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/downloads/sahana-eden-setup.exe (35Mb. Updated: 2012-10-27)

The installer contains both - a Portable version (for USB pendrives and external harddrives) and a Local version to be installed on the built-in harddrive. Sahana Eden requires a minimum of ~ 80MB free space, although more is recommended. NOTE: PDF-Support (reportlab) is currently broken in the installer-version. If you need it you have to install Python and the dependencies and get the current Eden-version from the VCS, not recommended for unexperienced users.

Launch Sahana-Eden

• For the Local version: Either double-click on the shortcuts on your Desktop or the Startmenu or navigate to your installation directory and double-click on startweb2py.bat
• For the Portable version: Either use the Autostart/USB menu if available on your Operating System (Windows XP or older) or run the start-eden.bat in the root directory of your portable drive.

Done!

• If not done automatically open a webbrowser and navigate to ​http://localhost/

Configure as Windows Service (optional)

 * Navigate to your Sahana Eden installation.
 * Right click on the options_std.py and rename it to options.py
 * Open the renamed file and set your settings in it. Save it afterwards.

 * Shift + Right click on the SahanaEden-Folder and click "Open Command-Prompt here"
 * In the Command-Prompt type "web2py.exe -W install"
