30. AMPS Distribution Layout¶
This appendix lists layout of the AMPS distribution, with special focus on the binaries present in the layout. Use this appendix to plan your AMPS deployment.
60East recommends that all AMPS deployments contain the full contents of
the /bin and /lib directories. For development installations
that are extending the AMPS server, your installation should contain the
/api and /sdk directories (as well as the AMPS Server SDK,
available as a separate download from the 60East web site).
The AMPS distribution contains the following items at the top level:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
/bin |
AMPS binaries: the AMPS server,
daemon deployment scripts, AMPS
utilities, and spark. |
/docs |
AMPS base documentation. Current versions of the documentation and additional guides are available from the 60East website. |
| HISTORY | Revision history for AMPS releases, containing information on changes for each version of AMPS. |
/lib |
Libraries used by the AMPS binary. |
| LICENSE | The AMPS license. |
| README | The README file for AMPS. |
/sdk |
Headers used for modules that extend AMPS. |
