Again, if you read the documentation, it tells you that those are the MINIMUM requirements...anything greater than what's mentioned will work.

I installed the requirments on my CentOS.
I also have downloaded and extracted the cyborg-0.1.19 file. I tried to fillow the commands given for server Installation.
but got stucked at line...

After that, move to the directory cyborg-X.Y.Z:

javier@hal:~> cd cyborg-X.Y.Z/
javier@hal:~/cyborg-X.Y.Z/>

I am getting this

[Zion@localhost cyborg-0.1.19]$ cyborg-X.Y.Z/>
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

What I need to do here?

Again, you need to follow the instructions...can't say it any simpler than that. It's telling you to type in "cd cyborg-x.y.z"...quite obviously, you would replace the x.y.z with the version numbers/correct directory name of what you downloaded. You're also not typing in the "cd", are you? All you're doing is typing in "cyborg-X.Y.X/>", and pressing ENTER.

READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. They are VERY clear...if you can't follow the step-by-step directions that are given to you on the webpage, there's not much we can help you with here.

Prashant1,
You have an admirable goal, but I fear you might be lacking some of the basics needed to accomplish it.
When you type:
Code:
~/cyborg-X.Y.Z/>
you are in fact telling the program bash to execute a program cyborg-X.Y.Z and redirect the
output of cyborg-X.Y.Z. The redirection is being specified by that > you have at the end.
But bash isn't given a destination to redirect the output to, so it gives you an error message.

I would suggest you get a tutorial on using the command line. Some good ones can be found here on LQ and many more can be found with a web search. You will need a little more knowledge of using the command line to achive your goal. Having said that, don't get discouraged and quit. You will find the journey well worth taking.

Hi,

I copy pasted the wrong line here in my last post. Sorry for that. Actually I am replacing X.Y.Z. with the version number 0.1.19.
I am entering the instructions given on the web page of Cyborg. http://cyborg.sourceforge.net/docs.html.en.

Great...and you're STILL NOT FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS. Replacing the X.Y.Z is pointless, since you're not typing in the correct commands.
This:
Code:
javier@hal:~/cyborg-X.Y.Z/>
...is the sample command prompt on the authors machine...NOT A COMMAND. The command is STILL above it:
Code:
cd cyborg-X.Y.Z/
...the line you keep typing in is showing what happens AFTER you do it.

Ohhh.... I got it now... Thanks...

But how to do the things mentioned after that...




Next, you must edit the files under "cgi-bin/cyborg/config/" to adapt it to
your system.


how to do this?

You would obviously go into the directory given, and edit the files. You edit files with an editor...which one is up to you. There is vi, emacs, and MANY GUI based editors.

WHAT you change is (as the instructions tell you), based on YOUR SYSTEM. Where the files are, etc. Honestly, if you can't change directories, know how to edit a file, or follow the step-by-step directions, you would be FAR better off hiring someone to do this for you. Someone with basic Linux knowledge could do this in less than an hour.
