 REVER Installation Guide

REVER Version: 0.6.5

 Introduction

REVER is a release manager for products. It's a tool that allows users to follow product releases, even hard or software. Depending what kind of user you are and your permissions, you will have a particular vision about the product. If you are a product coordinator, you can order, approve or reject requests or suggestions for those releases.

Features:

As a product coordinator, through Roadmap you can have a particular overview about the current stage of the product development and allow reflect and organize the steps to follow.
This is make through requests or suggestions submitted by the product coordinator or users of the product. The request, once approved and asigned by the coordinator, if it wasn't submitted by him, it's located in a release and follow by the assigned person.

 File Unpacking

Unpacking REVER in its own directory, somewhere where your web server will find it. (See your web server docs for infomation).
By default, REVER should create its own directory when you unpack it. The new directory name will contain the version name (rever-0.6.5). You can rename this directory after unpacking the files if you prefer another name for the directory.
