Setting Up Perforce Access


Download | Products

This is the new and improved way of getting set up for perforce access with zenspider.com:

1) Get the p4 binary from www.perforce.com /perforce /downloads

Make sure that you get the darwin binary if you use Mac OS X.

2) Run the following to install it:

chmod 555 p4
sudo mv p4 /usr/local/bin

This assumes 3 things: that you use a UNIX system, that you have /usr/local/bin, and that it is in your PATH. YMMV.

2) Get my script from www.zenspider.com /~ryand /new_perforce

chmod it as well, just as above (you may want 755 instead).

3) cd to your work area and type:

new_perforce projectname

Follow the instructions and you should be good to go.

You can do all but the very last bit w/o me setting up your permissions, so go ahead and get it all done except for the last part.
