Installation

The preferred way to install the Course Management Tools is to download the binaries from the latest (version 1) release.

The installation procedure is rather straightforward:

• download the course-management-tools.zip file from the release page
• unzip the content in a folder
• update your PATH to include the course-management-tools/bin folder in the folder in which you unzipped the downloaded zip file
• You now have access to the following CMT commands:
  • cmt-mainadm
  • cmt-studentify
  • cmt-linearize
  • cmt-delinearize

If you're starting with the Course Management Tools, you're now ready to create a first project. The easiest way to do this is to start from one of the available CMT master repository templates. How this works is explained in the next chapter.
