Perforce Helix is a unified platform for collaborative development and protection of any type of intellectual property. It consists of an integrated ecosystem of proven, enterprise-grade systems for versioning, code collaboration, continuous delivery.
Helix Installer is capabile of quickly transforming a vanilla Linux machine -- virtual or bare metal -- into a demonstration grade deployment of Helix, suitable for a Proof of Concept rollout. This is an alternative to the Helix Enterprise Evaluation virtual appliance (OVA).
HI 1.0 can install the following Helix Components, all fully configured an intgegrated:
HI v1.0 is developed and tested with: CentOS 6.6. It is expected to work as is with CentOS 6.5, Red Hat 6.5 and 6.6, and other YUM-based Linux distros. Future releases may add support for other popular Linux distributions, including those using APT.
HI v1.0 supports:

Perforce Helix Installer ("HI") === Welcome --- This is the home of the Perforce Helix Installer project. Perforce [Helix](http://www.perforce.com/helix) is a unified platform for collaborative development and protection of any type of intellectual property. It consists of an integrated ecosystem of proven, enterprise-grade systems for versioning, code collaboration, continuous delivery. Helix Installer is capabile of quickly transforming a vanilla Linux machine -- virtual or bare metal -- into a demonstration grade deployment of Helix, suitable for a Proof of Concept rollout. This is an alternative to the [Helix Enterprise Evaluation virtual appliance (OVA)](http://www.perforce.com/downloads/helix). Features --- * Fast. Runs in under 20 minutes. * Easy. Provides reasonable defaults for port numbers, passwords, data storage areas, and all inputs that would otherwise require human interaction. * Comprehensive. Installs P4D/Git Fusion/Swarm, all with one command line. * Automates connction to the [Perforce Package Repository](http://package.perforce.com/). * Optimized for easy Git repo insertion. A <code>p4import</code> user is created and configured with an SSH key, ready to immediately start Git repo imports. A supplemental <code>higf_import</code> tool imports Git the master branch of a git repos in a single step, needing only the cloning URL as input. * Simplifies Entrerprise Deployment. While optimized for getting going quickly, HI is designd to enable a fast path from a PoC to small-scale production deployment following the Helix evaluation, with a nominal hop from there to a large-scale enterprise deployment. Based on the Consulting [Server Deployment Package (SDP)](https://swarm.workshop.perforce.com/projects/perforce-software-sdp). * Pre-loads the [Perforce Sample Depot](http://answers.perforce.com/articles/KB/2439) Helix Components --- HI 1.0 can install the following Helix Components, all fully configured an intgegrated: * P4D - the Helix Versioning Engine, the core of Helix. * Helix Git Fusion - enables Git collaboration and access to the Helix Versioning Engine for Git users. * Helix Swarm - Collaborative web-based code review and continuous delivery. Platform Support --- HI v1.0 is developed and tested with: CentOS 6.6. It is expected to work as is with CentOS 6.5, Red Hat 6.5 and 6.6, and other YUM-based Linux distros. Future releases may add support for other popular Linux distributions, including those using APT. Helix Component Compatibility --- HI v1.0 supports: * P4D 2015.2 * Git Fusion 2015.3 (not yet) * Swarm 2015.3 (not yet) Contact Us --- Please contact Perforce Consulting (mailto:Consulting@Perforce.com) for more information. Project Status --- This project is being considered for further developmnt and is not ready for general consumption.
