3. Getting Started

Below are the steps needed to get started using Parsec:

• Install Parsec
• Locate Explorer Files (and create explorer subdirectory)
• Update Firmware Information (and create firmware subdirectory)
• Process Explorer Files

Install Parsec

Checkout Parsec code using git:

$ cd ~/Code
$ git clone https://github.com/lateralblast/parsec.git

To keep firmware up to date checkout oort using git:

$ cd ~/Code
$ git clone https://github.com/lateralblast/oort.git

Locate Explorer Files

The script looks for explorer files in the explorers subdirectory. This could be a symlink or NFS mount to your central repository.

For example:

$ cd ~/Code/parsec
$ ln -s /Volume/Media/Explorers ./explorers

Update Firmware Information

A base set of firmware information is provided. This information is created using oort. In order to keep this information up to date, a MOS (My Oracle Support) account is required.

For more information regarding updating/creating these firmware information files refer to the Firmware Wiki page.
