INSTALL.txt

1. Get the aware sources
  
  git clone git://github.com/mkoppanen/php-aware.git 
  
2. Run the build script

  # bash build.sh
    
  The build script should compile and install the extensions. 
  Just comment out the backends you dont need
  
3. Configure aware, the following entries to PHP ini should get you started:

  -----

  ; Load the aware core extension
  extension=aware.so
  
  ; Load aware tokyo plugin
  extension=aware_tokyo.so
  
  ; Enable tokyo backend
  aware.storage_modules=tokyo
  
  ; Tokyo Cabinet
  aware_tokyo.backend="cabinet"
  aware_tokyo.cabinet_file="/tmp/test.tct"

  -----

This assumes you chose to install the tokyo backend for aware. 
The gui is currently hardcoded to use the tokyo backend so to 
test drive things it probably makes sense to enable it.
