Need installation instructions

[tf42src]

Would be great if you'd have some simple instructions how to install from source.

Attempt:

git clone <repo>
./touchconfig.sh
./configure
make
./installer/install.sh /root/tripwire-open-source/installer/install.cfg -n -f -s abc123 -l 123abc

Gives me:

Error: configuration parameter $TWPOLICY undefined.
There is an error in the configuration file /root/tripwire-open-source/installer/install.cfg.

Hi Tobias, you probably want to try a "make install" instead. In install.cfg, $TWPOLICY gets set to the value of the gmake variable $sysconfdir, which will be blank if you invoke the install.sh script directly.

What is install.sh for?

[brc0x1]

install.sh is invoked by make install, and it handles the interactive parts of setting up OST. It wouldn't be hard to tweak install.sh / install.cfg so various variables (sysconfdir, prefix, path_to_vi etc.) have useful defaults if you run the script directly, but that's not how it works at the moment.

Ok, I went ahead & updated install.sh to ensure that those variables get set, so the script should work the way you expected it to. The change is on the dev/next branch ( https://github.com/Tripwire/tripwire-open-source/tree/dev/next ), which should become OST 2.4.3.6 in the near future.

Awesome, thanks!
