Install the perl modules in the usual MakeMaker way:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make sysconfdir=/etc install
While it can run as any user, the recommended approach for setting up automatic unattended builds is to create a dedicated (unprivileged) user account. By convention this is called 'builder' with a home dir of '/var/lib/builder'
# useradd -d /var/lib/builder builder # auto-build-make-root /var/lib/builder # chown -R builder.builder /var/lib/builder
Once this is complete, edit the file /etc/autobuild/autobuild.conf to suit your environment & modules. The build can be invoked as the builder user, thus
# su - builder
$ autobuild.pl --config /etc/autobuild/autobuild.conf
More details on installation can be found in the manual page for the Test::AutoBuild module
