Chandler Milestone: 0_3_27

Thank you for your interest in the 0_3_27 milestone of Chandler. We hope that this milestone of Chandler will give you a flavor of Chandler's architecture and APIs, and a glimse of what Chandler will do in the future.

Please note that Chandler is still in its extremely early stages, with only a very limited set of capabilities. Please read the README -- it has information on known bugs, our future plans, volunteering, and where to go for futher documentation.

Please also understand that our underlying database is undergoing massive changes at the moment. What we're using now will not be what we use in the future. This means that you should not store important information in Chandler yet.

If you run into problems, please see Reporting Bugs.

Compatibility Notes

Our Linux binaries are built on a RedHat 8 machine that has libc version 2.3.2. To run these binaries, your machine will need libc 2.3.2. To see what version of libc you have, run "ldd --version" on the command line. If you are building Chandler yourself you will need gcc 3.3.x, as described in Building Chandler.
The OSX binaries have only been tested on Panther (10.3).
The Windows binaries have only been tested on XP.

What Should I Download?

There are a few different types of Chandler distribution files that are available in this milestone; choose the one that's right for you:

End-users' distributions: If you just want to use Chandler, this distribution contains everything you need -- just download, unpack, and run! Please select one of the following: Linux | Mac OSX | Windows
Developers' distributions: If you're a developer and want to run Chandler in debugging mode, this distribution contains debug versions of the binaries. You can also use this distribution to develop your own parcels (see ParcelLoading for details on loading your own parcels). Please select one of the following: Linux | Mac OSX | Windows
Source code distribution: If you want to compile everything yourself, including the Python interpreter and all required libraries, this download contains the entire source tree. A gzip'd tar file of this milestone is available here (if using Mac OSX, please unpack the file with gnutar instead of tar), and instructions for building Chandler are in the "osaf/hardhat/README.txt" within that tar file. Also see our instructions for building Chandler online.
List of all downloads: A listing of all downloadable files from this milestone (and their check-sums in MD5 and SHA-1) is available here.

End-Users' Distribution: Linux

Note: This binary is built for RedHat 8.0 or newer, with libc 2.3.2. Other platforms may have to build from source.

Download Chandler_linux_0_3_27.tar.gz to a directory on your computer. Change your shell's current directory to the directory you copied the file to, and unpack the distribution by typing the following:

   tar zxf Chandler_linux_0_3_27.tar.gz

This will create a Chandler_linux_0_3_27 subdirectory. Cd into that directory:

   cd Chandler_linux_0_3_27

Run Chandler:

   ./chandler

End-Users' Distribution: Mac OSX

Download Chandler_osx_0_3_27.dmg to your desktop, double-click it, and it will unpack the Chandler application.

End-Users' Distribution: Windows

Download Chandler_win_0_3_27.zip, open it by double-clicking it using Windows file explorer, and extract all files to a directory on your computer. Again, using the file explorer, double-click on chandler.exe in the directory you extracted to.

Developers' Distribution: Linux

Note: This binary is built for RedHat 8.0 or newer, with libc 2.3.2. Other platforms may have to build from source.

Download Chandler_linux_debug_0_3_27.tar.gz and save it to disk. Change your shell's current directory to the location you saved the file and unpack the distribution via:

   tar zxf Chandler_linux_debug_0_3_27.tar.gz

This will create a Chandler_linux_debug_0_3_27 subdirectory. Cd into that directory:

   cd Chandler_linux_debug_0_3_27

Run Chandler:

   ./chandler

Developers' Distribution: Mac OSX

Download Chandler_osx_debug_0_3_27.dmg to your desktop, double-click it, and it will unpack the Chandler application.

Developers' Distribution: Windows

Download Chandler_win_debug_0_3_27.zip, open it by double-clicking it using Windows file explorer, and extract all files to a directory on your computer. Again, using the file explorer, double-click on chandler.exe in the directory you extracted to.
