Installation

Prerequisites

If you choose to install Apigee-127 using npm you will need npm version 1.3 or higher. You will also need Node.js version 0.10.24 or higher.

Installation

You can install apigee-127 either through npm or by cloning and linking the code from GitHub. This document covers the installation details for installing from npm.

Installation from npm

The apigee-127 module and its dependencies are designed for Node.js and is available through npm using the following command:

Linux / Mac from a Terminal Window:

$sudo npm install -g apigee-127 --unsafe-perm

NOTE: The --unsafe-perm option gives npm permission to create a folder in the ~/.a127 directory. Installing with sudo places the a127 command-line tool in your PATH.

NOTE: Using sudo with the -g option places the a127 command-line tool in your PATH (in /usr/local/bin by default). Also, -g typically places modules in: : /usr/local/lib/node_modules/apigee-127 on *nix-based machines.

NOTE: Advanced npm users may choose to change the default npm prefix setting to point to a directory that doesn't require sudo to write to. The default prefix setting is /usr/local. For example: npm set prefix /Users/myhome/.npm. For details, refer to the npm documentation.

Windows, from a Command Prompt

npm install -g apigee-127

Location of files

Apigee-127 places most of its files that it depends on at a global level in ~/.a127. This includes an accounts file that has details about the configured accounts and an optional usergrid directory if you choose to download and use Usergrid through the a127 command line.
