Lire supports various installation environments. This chapter contains all the informations regarding the installation of Lire in various setup scenarios: from the simple client setup to the installation of an online responder. You can find some quick installation instructions in the INSTALL file. Installation notes about specific platform (Debian GNU/Linux, Solaris, OpenBSD, etc.) can be found in the Lire FAQ.

Client Installation

The simplest setup to install Lire is in a client-server scenario where the log files are sent by email to an online responder for processing.

Tip

You can test Lire by using Stichting LogReport Foundation's online responder available at <log@service.logreport.org.>. (To process sendmail log files, send them to <log@sendmail.logreport.org>).

Requirements

To use Lire in such a setup, you only need a mailer (anyone will do) and an email address where the generated report can get sent to.

Installing

No special installation is necessary. You can generate reports by sending the log files to the responder right away. Consult the the section called “Using A Responder” for the complete story.
