Installing reflow

Introduction

This page should guide you through the steps required to install Reflow on your computer.

Getting Reflow

Grab a copy of Reflow for your OS, unzip it in the directory of your choosing and proceed to the next section.

Running Reflow

To run reflow just run the executable for your os/arch e.g.

./Reflow

Reflow.exe

On first start Reflow creates it's configuration so once it displays the startup message stop it with Control-C and proceed to configuring it.

Configuring it

The initial configuration for reflow is quite straightforward, it's just got some database configuration (note, reflow is designed to work with existing solder DBs), later other things like ssl will be added but for now this is all I've got.

[database]
driver = postgres
hostname = localhost
port = 5432
database = reflow
username = 
password = 

The only supported database is postgresql for now but more are coming soon(ish)

Starting Reflow on boot
