Perforce Training Installers

These files are for installing a Test repository for Training purposes.

The test repository is typically for use with Perforce Consulting training sessions. It uses C:\p4training as the root directory in which everything is run. After use, you can delete that directory.

This does not require Administrator rights as it does not install a service.

Please note that you should install the relevant version of P4V as a separate step.

Instructions for use (Windows)

Training coordinator (e.g. one person per customer) should:

• Download p4train.zip.

• Unzip contents to an empty directory, either on a file share or a USB stick. Right click in Windows Explorer --> Extract All... works fine for modern Windows versions.

• (optional) Download latest version of P4V and put in the same location.

Training delegate (all people attending training) - should on their laptop/PC:

• Double-click or run install.bat from fileshare/USB. This will create a local C:\p4training directory, replay a checkpoint with sample training data, etc.

• (optional) Install P4V if they haven't previously done so.

• Double-click or run c:\p4training\server.bat to execute a local p4d.exe on port 1666.

• Run P4V and connect to server on localhost:1666 as user bruno, with workspace bruno_ws.

They can stop the training server using Ctrl+C, or just by closing the CMD prompt window.

QED!

Instructions for use (Linux 64 bit)

Training coordinator (e.g. one person per customer) should:

• Download p4train.tgz.

• Move the downloaded file to an appropriate directory, e.g. /tmp.

• Run the following commands:

  tar -xvzf p4train.tgz

  cd p4train

  ./install.sh

• The above will setup the server and run it on port 1666. You can edit the files p4vars and install.sh if you want a different port.

• The command ./uninstall.sh will stop the p4d, and you can then remove the C:\p4training directory.

Notes

Note that the test repository is based on the Perforce Sample Depot.
