perforce_software / Helix Installer

About

Helix Installer - Installs various Helix Server components, including p4d and p4broker, with a simulated enterprise-style installation using the Server Deployment Package (SDP) on a Linux system. Also deploys with the Sample Depot data set familiar to attendees of various Perforce training end Eval\/Demo sessions.

Useful for stand-alone test and demo installations, Vagrant-based server setup, and could be used to bootstrap Docker images/containers.

Helix Installer is used by the CBD test suite. A slightly modified version is used for the Lab Engine behind the Battle School Workshop.

Helix Installer could also be used to bootstrap a production server instance, as it does use the SDP. However, additional oversite of the installation would be warranted post-install for that usage.
