Installing the Perforce Client

About this task

You must install the Perforce command-line client on the WorldServer host machine. WorldServer communicates with Perforce via the P4 command-line executable. You can install the Perforce command-line executable as normal with the client installer. After installation, make sure to complete the following tasks:

Procedure

  • On the WorldServer host machine, create a folder to be used as the root folder for Perforce files.
  • On your Perforce server, create a user account for WorldServer to use.
  • In the Perforce client, create a client workspace (clientspec) that specifies how files will be copied (synchronized) from the Perforce server to WorldServer. Make sure to note the name of the client workspace; you will need it later.
