| 19 | Hello Hongwei,
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | I have started to take a look at the Kansei Genie Software available at the location
|
|---|
| 22 | http://kansei.cse.ohio-state.edu/KanseiGenie/Downloads/KGCloner/packages/KG_2_0/
|
|---|
| 23 | and using KanseiGeni Cloning documentation found at the location
|
|---|
| 24 | http://kansei.cse.ohio-state.edu/KanseiGenie/Doc/cloning.php.
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | I have some feedback. Overall, I am not able to use the software KG_Portal_1_9_noinstall.tar.gz
|
|---|
| 27 | with the instructions available to use the software. Following is a capture of the issues as I worked
|
|---|
| 28 | my way through the instruction and the software.
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | The http://kansei.cse.ohio-state.edu/KanseiGenie/Downloads/KGCloner/packages/KG_2_0/
|
|---|
| 31 | includes a file "KG_Portal_1_9_noinstall.tar.gz". Is software this version 1.9 or 2.0?
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | The initial paragraph of the KanseiGeni Cloning documentation states the the instructions are
|
|---|
| 34 | based on the "1.0 Kansei package released March 2010." Is this true? Or are these
|
|---|
| 35 | installation instructions also applicable to the KG 2.0 package?
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | The KanseiGenie Cloning Documentation ( at http://kansei.cse.ohio-state.edu/KanseiGenie/Doc/cloning.php)
|
|---|
| 38 | has a link "Portal Cloning Documentation" pointing to the "Kansei Genie Portal Cloning Documentation" (at
|
|---|
| 39 | http://kansei.cse.ohio-state.edu/KanseiGenie/Doc/cloning.php?pageName=KGPortal.html). This page
|
|---|
| 40 | starts with "[Kansei 1.0 - March 2010]" which is confusing for KG2.0 and it also jumps into installation insructions
|
|---|
| 41 | without giving any scope or covering any prerequisites. The Installation section instructs to execute the
|
|---|
| 42 | following "% ./install_portal.sh". This script does not exist in the "KG_Portal_1_9_noinstall.tar.gz" package.
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | After reading the page http://kansei.cse.ohio-state.edu/KanseiGenie/Doc/cloning.php?pageName=KGPortal.html,
|
|---|
| 45 | I eventually found the KG2.0 information. I suggest providing an introduction to the user to give
|
|---|
| 46 | some indication up front that multiple versions are documented in the web page.
|
|---|
| 47 |
|
|---|
| 48 | In http://kansei.cse.ohio-state.edu/KanseiGenie/Doc/cloning.php?pageName=KGPortal.html section
|
|---|
| 49 | named "[Kansei 2.0 - Autumn 2011] " there are no explicit installation instructions. There is mention
|
|---|
| 50 | about new sites modifying a Portal.ini file, but not enough information is available to make configuration
|
|---|
| 51 | changes.
|
|---|
| 52 |
|
|---|
| 53 | Once the KG_Portal_1_9_noinstall.tar.gz is unpacked, the version is no longer part of the restored directory.
|
|---|
| 54 | There is no README/INSTALL file providing direction for installation or minimally pointing to documentation
|
|---|
| 55 | locations (web and local php files).
|
|---|
| 56 |
|
|---|
| 57 | The kgportal/Doc directory delivers two empty directories: KanseiCloneInstallation and Videos. Should there be
|
|---|
| 58 | documentation in the KanseiCloneInstallation directory?
|
|---|
| 59 |
|
|---|
| 60 | Please provide some guidance on what I should do for installation.
|
|---|
| 61 |
|
|---|
| 62 | Thank you,
|
|---|
