2.2 Installation

First of all, check out Flipper from the Proven Scaling Subversion repository to the node you'll use for managing your masterpairs.

The flipper script assumes ‘perl’ will be in ‘/usr/bin’. If your Perl executable is located somewhere else, either change the #! line in the ‘flipper’ script (the first line), or better still put a symlink in place in ‘/usr/bin/perl’ to your ‘perl’ binary, as there are plenty of other scripts out there which rely on ‘perl’ being in ‘/usr/bin’.

Copy the ‘flipper’ script to ‘/usr/bin’.

Copy the ‘lib/Flipper’ directory to some place in Perl's @INC on your system. To list the directories in @INC on your system, run perl -e 'print join "\n",@INC'.

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl’, ‘/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl’ on Linux, Solaris, and BSD, and ‘/Library/Perl’ on Mac OS X are good places to put the ‘Flipper’ directory.
