ZBots can be installed on MacOSX, Solaris or Linux. Below is an example of an installation on Ubuntu Linux. The others are very similar. We will also be showing you how you can make ZBots autostart.
The ZBot can be downloaded from http://<your_zephyr_server>/zephyr/zbot
1. Clicking on the appropriate OS version for download, the following file is downloaded: zbot.unix.tar.gz
2. Open the archive with unzipping software (in this case Archive Manager on Ubuntu Linux)
3. Extract this folder to a convenient location where the ZBot will be installed. ZBot will be running from this folder.
4. In this case, /usr/local/zephyr has been chosen as seen below.
5. Open your favorite editor (gedit in this case), and open $ZBOT_EXTRACTION_FOLDER/zbot/conf/zbot.properties
6. Modify zephyrServerURL to point to your zephyr server (as highlighted), and enter a Zephyr username/password and save the property file.
7. Open a terminal window and navigate to $ZBOT_EXTRACTION_FOLDER/zbot and use the following to administer:
./bin/zbot.sh start - To Start the zbot in background
./bin/zbot.sh status - To Check the status of ZBot
./bin/zbot.sh stop - To Stop the zbot
./bin/zbot.sh console - To run zbot in interactive mode
8. Log files are in $ZBOT_EXTRACTION_FOLDER/zbot/logs
