3 Installing cosTime

3.1  Installation Process

This chapter describes how to install cosTime in an Erlang Environment.

Preparation

Before starting the installation process for cosTime, the application Orber must be running.

Configuration

When using both the Time and TimerEvent Services the cosTime application first must be installed using cosTime:install_time() and cosTime:install_timerevent(), followed by cosTime:start(). Now we can choose which can start the servers by using cosTime:start_time_service(Tdf, Inaccuracy) and cosTime:start_timerevent_service(TimeService).
