Running

To use this sample you must have Perl, Cpan and Catalyst installed, if not, please, visit Catalyst installation guide;
MySQL installed and running, if not please check out MySQL download page and follow instructions.

To check your installations, run the following command in the command line:


$ perl -v
This is perl 5, version 20, subversion 1 (v5.20.1) built for x86_64-linux... # sample output

$ perl -MCatalyst::Runtime -e 'print Catalyst::Runtime->VERSION'
5.90112 # sample output

$ mysql --version
mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.52, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 6. # sample output
                

To start this example run commands listed below.

Clone the repository from github.com:


$ git clone git@github.com:anychart-integrations/perl-catalyst-mysql-template.git
            

Navigate to the repository folder:


$ cd perl-catalyst-mysql-template
             

Set up MySQL database, use -u -p flags to provide username and password:


$ mysql < database_backup.sql
            

Install app dependencies, you can use cpanfile or Makefile.PL.

To use cpanfile, assuming you have cpanminus installed on your system, run:


 cpanm --installdeps .
             

To use Makefile.PL run:


perl Makefile.PL
                

The command will show you your dependencies versions. This template is tested with dependencies listed below:
