Installation

##Installation## Current release: v.0.7.3-alpha

• Create the required folder structure inside your ILIAS installation:
  mkdir -p ${ILIAS_DIR}/Customizing/global/plugins/Services/UIComponent/UserInterfaceHook/
• Open the newly created directory:
  cd ${ILIAS_DIR}/Customizing/global/plugins/Services/UIComponent/UserInterfaceHook/
• Download latest release version of the RESTPlugin to this directory:
  wget https://github.com/hrz-unimr/Ilias.RESTPlugin/archive/v.0.7.3-alpha.zip
• Simply unzip the downloaded zip-file to its current location:
  unzip v.0.7.3.zip
• Rename the extracted folder, such that it can be loaded by ILIAS:
  mv RESTPlugin-v.0.7.3-alpha REST
• Copy the actual interface for the RESTController into your ILIAS base folder:
  cp REST/gateways/restplugin.php ${ILIAS_DIR}/
• Create the ${ILIAS_LOG_DIR}/restplugin.log file
• You can now update your database and activate the plugin under Administration > Plugins from inside of ILIAS

###Notes###

• The variables ${ILIAS_DIR} and ${ILIAS_LOG_DIR} should point to your ILIAS installation directory (eg. /var/www/ilias) and the external logging directory set during ILIAS installation (eg /var/log) respectively.
  The log directory can also be retrieved by looking at the path-variable under the [log] section inside your ${ILIAS_DIR}/ilias.ini.php file.
• On a unix-like operating-systems make sure the plugin directory ${ILIAS_DIR}/Customizing/global/plugins/Services/UIComponent/UserInterfaceHook/REST is readable and the log-file ${ILIAS_LOG_DIR}/restplugin.log is writeable by the apache process. Normally this means the www-data user/group needs read or write access to those directories accordingly.
• To use the master-branch instead of a release version just replace all occurances of v.0.7.3-alpha and v.0.7.3 with master.
