Installation instructions?

Based on my experience to get it work, with IRC-help of @recidive (tnx)

• First of all be sure that you installed drush_make and that you installed it on the right place. Even if drush_make is version 6.x, Drush and Drush_make are "version independent". (this was my problem to get it work, s not a MartPlug-problem.
• Install Drush_make in /~drush/commands/ , so you get /~drush/commands/drush_make.
• Create the "martplug-build.make" as written on the projet page in the /var/www/ or lampp/htdocs/.
• Then in the /var/www/ or lampp/htdocs/ folder (I'm not sure if this is a "must" run "drush make --prepare-install martplug-build.make martplug" . I replaced "martplug" (the last one) by the sitename I wanted to use.
• Then you get the great message : "Project information for drupal retrieved." and start the installation process

It worked (finally) fine.

Goodluck.

Today I finally managed to get the profile to install successfully (well, close enough), but not without some issues.

Here is a working set of directions you can use to install this project yourself (this is the culmination of a few days of brick walls):

Installation instructions:

(Drush and Drush Make required)

1. Extract the profile into a drupal 7.x (any sub-version) profiles directory.

2. Add the line "projects[] = drupal" to the 3rd line of the martplug/martplug.make file

3. Configuyre your appropriate site settings.php file (normally under 'sites/default/settings.php')

4. Run "drush make" in the root drupal directory

5. Browse to the /install.php and install as normal, selecting the MartPlug profile
- a. The php.ini on your server must be set to:
-- 1. max_execution_time = 360
-- 2. memory_limit = 128M
-- 3. ignore_user_abort = On
-- (Restart the web service after editing these values)

6. If the install times out (usually after the modules are installed), continue to step 6a. If the install succeeds, skip to step 7.
- 6a. Browse to the /install.php file again and restart the install process.
- 6b. The 'Site information' form should appear immediately after the install process begins. Fill it in as usual.
- 6c. The install will then give a 'Site already installed' error, in which case, the install is now complete.

7. Browse to the admin page and select "Dashboard" from the top menu

8. There is currently a bug which prevent the creation of a categories menu and proper product imports. In order to work around this bug, follow these steps:
- a. Select "Remove example content" (bottom of the list)
- b. Select "Add example content"
- c. (optional) If you do not want the example content, select "remove example content" once again.

9. Installation should now be complete. Configure shipping, taxes and payment processing, then go sell some stuff!

Hope this helps the people, like me, who had no idea how to get this going.

It looks like you aren't running drush in the same directory as the martplug-build.make file. Either way, making the .make file in the project directions isn't needed with my instructions. Simply download the .dev.tar.gz file on the project page in order to use my directions. You come out with the exact same result.

One other thing i noticed is drush doesn't seem to play well with Windows, as I could only get the make to happen on a FreeBSD box using the very same methods. It seems drush was made with Windows as barely an afterthought (even the project page notes this). It would be nice if some day Windows would get moved to a FreeBSD platform, as OSX is now, then we wouldn't have these awful incompatibilities.

Keep in mind also, drush is web server independent. It doesn't even need a web server at all to work. If you run it in the drupal root dir it will find your settings.php file and work from it.

Hi,

During the installation I got this error.

Destination directory /tmp/make_tmp_1330728826_4f514f7a3872a/__build__/profiles/martplug/libraries/autopager already exists.                                                                   [error]

And the installation stops. I'm doing something wrong?

At the end I didn't know how to solve it (I'm using drush 5).

So I've commented in martplug.make lines related to these libraries, when the installation process ended I installed manually these libraries.

In a php default enviroment, you need to increase in your php.ini max_execution_time at least to 240, if you want to install drupal using martplug profile.

Z:\home\atemi.test>drush make --prepare-install martplug-build.make martplug
drupal-7.12 downloaded. [ok]
Unable to clone martplug from [error]

Someone can make a backup of installed site?
I tried different ways to install, but all to no avail.

A full installation tarball is now being packed, no need to drush make anymore, just download and install.
