Cumula is an open-source framework that creates scalable cloud-based applications. It makes using cloud services simple, elegant and lightweight. In other words, code less to create applications that do more.
At its core, Cumula is a lightweight framework of pre-built components. These components simplify the process of working with web services, meaning that it takes less code to write complicated applications. Because of its modular architecture, Cumula provides a scalable base upon which you can grow your next web app. As you outgrow a particular component, you can replace it without having to rewrite the entire application.
Getting the code from GitHub is easiest:
git clone git://github.com/Cumula/cumula-core.git
Alternatively, you can download the latest tarball from https://github.com/Cumula/cumula-core/tarball/master
Next, untar the file using
tar -xzf /path/to/cumula/installer.tar.bz
Navigate into the cumula-core directory and run the command
> ./install myAppName
Where myAppName is the name of the application (folder) you want Cumula installed to.
Additionally, you can pass a -base-dir=/some/path parameter if you want your app installed outside of the current directory.
Follow the onscreen install instructions to set up your web server.
Finally, navigate to your web server (usually, http://localhost) and follow the setup instructions.
