A mirror of all releases can be found at Github.

Web User-Interface

The SysDB web user-interface provides a graphical client application for browsing and querying the system database.

It is available as a separate sub-project on Github at github.com/sysdb/webui. It is written in the Go programming language (golang) and can be installed and built using:

go get github.com/sysdb/webui
go build github.com/sysdb/webui
# Short usage summary:
./webui --help

See the README file for further instructions.

Language Bindings

Language bindings allow you to interact with SysDB using other programming languages.

Go

The github.com/sysdb/go package for the Go programming language (golang) implements a client for SysDB.

Install the package into your GOPATH using the go get command:

go get github.com/sysdb/go

The documentation is included with the source code in a way compatible with the godoc tool and can be viewed online.

Development Snapshots

The latest version of the source-code is available in the Git archive, hosted on Github. You may browse the source-code in the web-interface or download the code via Git via https://github.com/sysdb/sysdb.git. A mirror is available at git://git.tokkee.org/sysdb.git.

   

Compile the Source

After downloading the source package, you need to unpack, compile, and install the source. For this, you might need additional dependencies based on which components of SysDB you want to use. You'll find detailed information about this in the README file. Also, the 'configure' script will provide a summary of required and auto-detected dependencies.

Compile and install the source using the usual approach used by a lot of Open Source projects:

tar zxf sysdb-VERSION.tar.gz
cd sysdb-VERSION
./configure
make all install

When fetching the source from Git or after changing the build system, you'll have to rebuild the build system:

./autogen.sh
