Installation

Installation on Windows, macOS, and Linux systems is easy.

Windows

  1. Download the installer MSI, run it, and follow the instructions. An uninstaller will be included.
  2. SQribe executable and dependency files are copied to a C:\Program Files\SQribe folder.
  3. Your environment path is modified to allow SQribe to be run from anywhere on your local storage.
  4. When run for the first time, SQribe will create a folder named sqribe in your user home folder (~/sqribe/). This folder will be used for the activity log and will also be searched for job scripts along with the current directory as a convenience.

Uninstall: Run the SQribe installer, or use the Add/Remove Programs control panel as is usual. You can then delete the ~/sqribe/ data folder if desired.

Linux

    sh /usr/bin/sqribe/config.sh
  3. When run for the first time, SQribe will create a folder named sqribe in your user home folder (~/sqribe/). This folder will be used for the activity log and will also be searched for job scripts along with the current directory as a convenience.
