There is no automatic installer (this may change). Cumulus MX is supplied as a zipped package on a link from [[software|Software page]]. | |||
It includes two executables: | |||
=== CumulusMX.exe === | |||
Whilst effectively MX is run by a '''CumulusMX.exe''' or '''sudo mono CumulusMX.exe''' depending on device, you actually need to ensure all the other components are loaded, so you either have a package that runs it for you, or you click a shortcut that includes the necessary path setting. | |||
=== ExportMySQL.exe === | |||
This second exe file in the package. Run with <tt>ExportMySql.exe daily</tt> or '''sudo mono ExportMySql.exe daily''' depending on device; will populate a newly created database table to hold daily summary values with past rows taken from [[Dayfile.txt]]. Replace "dayfile" with "monthly" in the run instruction for this exe to update all rows in a newly created table to hold values from all the [[standard log files]]. | |||
