Using install script

Install playSMS using install script install-playsms.sh.

Please note that before following below steps you need to cover all steps required in Requirements setup on Ubuntu.

Please also note that the current official release is playSMS version 1.3.1 and we will use that.

1. Extract playSMS package and go there (For example in /usr/local/src)

   sudo tar -zxf playsms-1.3.1.tar.gz -C /usr/local/src
   ls -l /usr/local/src/
   cd /usr/local/src/playsms-1.3.1/
   

2. Copy install.conf.dist to install.conf and edit install.conf

   Read install.conf and make changes to suit your system configuration

   sudo cp install.conf.dist install.conf
   sudo nano install.conf
   

3. Run installer script

   sudo ./install-playsms.sh
   

4. Configure rc.local to get playsmsd started on boot

   Look for rc.local on /etc, /etc/init.d or /etc/rc.d/init.d

   When you found it edit that rc.local and put:

   /usr/local/bin/playsmsd start

   on the bottom of the file (before exit if theres an exit command).

   This way playsmsd will start automatically on boot.

Note:

• After successful installation, please run command ps ax and see if playsmsd is running

  ps ax | grep playsms

• Run several checks

  sudo playsmsd status
  sudo playsmsd check
  

• Stop here and review your installation steps when playsmsd is not running

• Consider to ask question in playSMS forum when you encountered a problem

• If all seems to be correctly installed you may try to login from web browser
