HOWTO Install eyeOS from SVN

From eyeOS Developers Wiki

Once you have subversion installed, use a command prompt to change directory to a path on your local web server, and issue the command: svn checkout https://eyeos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/eyeos eyeOS-dev, where "https://eyeos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/eyeos" is the eyeOS subversion URL, and "eyeOS-dev" is the new directory to contain these files.

Once the files are on your computer, change to this new directory (eg. eyeOS-dev), and issue the command: chmod -R 0777 * as the root user, (eg. with the sudo command prepended).

You should now be able to point your browser at: "http://localhost/MyDirectory/eyeOS-dev/eyeOS/trunk/", changing "MyDirectory" to the path you installed to.

Login with username: root, password: root.

Notes: You are advised not to install the development version of eyeOS unless you are using it for development. The development copy is by definition more liable to contain bugs than the release version, and the directory containing the software will not contain a hex number in its path, as with the default install. You are also therefore advised to add appropriate firewall/security settings so that only you can access the server via http. The reason for changing permissions is that under a normal installation, the eyeOS installer will do this for you, albeit more finely-tuned.

Also, remember that changes must adhere to the requirements at Requirements. Thorough testing must be done on each of the platforms
