CHIP, the $9 computer finally arrived on my doorstep and I was anxious to give it a try.
Of course, one of the first projects I wanted to try was to run a Perforce server and here
is a quick write up of how to do it.
1.) On your CHIP, run:
wget ftp://ftp.perforce.com/perforce/r15.1/bin.linux26armhf/p4d
wget ftp://ftp.perforce.com/perforce/r15.1/bin.linux26armhf/p4
2.) Change permissions so that the files are executable:
chmod +x p4
chmod +x p4d
3.) Move the files to the bin directory:
sudo mv p4* /usr/local/bin
4.) Start p4d:
mkdir /home/chip/p4root
p4d -r /home/chip/p4root -p chip:1666 -d
And that's it! In less than 5 minutes, I had CHIP up and running with a Perforce server.
