== Install Striker ==
* [[Build an Anvil! - Detailed]] - or - [[Build an Anvil! - Cookbook]]


=== Requirements ===
= Manual =


* A machine with two wired network interfaces, one to the [[BCN]] and one to the [[IFN]].
* Version [[Striker v2.0|2.0]]
* [[RHEL]], [[CentOS]] or similar version 6.x (6.5 or higher recommended).
** Minimal install is sufficient, provided you install <span class="code">perl</span>.
** The installer will install everything else it needs.

This install document will be using a fresh, minimal install of CentOS 6.5.
 
=== Getting the Install Script ===
 
The Striker installer needs to be downloaded. To account for minimal installs where <span class="code">wget</span> is not available, we'll use <span class="code">curl</span> instead which is always available.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/digimer/an-cdb/master/striker-installer > striker-installer

Striker is the Anvil! web-based dashboard.

It's goal is to reduce the potential for human errors causing availability interruptions by simplifying the interface as much as possible. With it, you can build, maintain and replace other dashboards and Anvil! nodes, as well as build Anvil!' systems from scratch.

Striker dashboards also act as a ScanCore database. Two or more Striker dashboards will work together to make the ScanCore data resilient by handling replication of the data and n-way resync automatically to update new or rebooted dashboards.
