How would I install files from Github - github

I am making an installer for software, and was wondering how I would have the installer (I'm using IExpress) install files directly from Github

There is no way to install files directly from GitHub using IExpress. However, you can download the files from GitHub on to your computer, then make a installer with IExpress from that.

Where does jetbackup install on CentOS 7?

My server can not connect to jetbackup repository and I need to install S3 plugin. It's available on github and repo to download. So how can I install plugin without using repository? I mean where should I extract plugin zipfile on server?
http://repo.jetlicense.com/plugins/
OS : CentOS 7 , 64bit
Where is the jetbackup installation folder on server anyway?
Also if I can use a proxy even on my other server as a temporary proxy may solve the problem. a link of tutorial will do.
Thanks a lot

How to compile a project from github for composer but do not use composer repository?

I want to instal October CMS, installation guide is here: https://octobercms.com/docs/setup/installation
but I do not want use composer and install it from repository by composer.
I want download files from here: https://github.com/octobercms/october
and install/compile downloaded files on my local server.
October is no longer free and open source (see https://octobercms.com/blog/post/october-cms-moves-become-paid-platform), and as a part of their v2 they no longer support hosts without composer support or exec() access. The best you could do with October is purchase a license, use composer locally; and then just transfer the files to your server directly, but you won't be able to use the backend to install or update the core, plugins, or themes from the marketplace.
The good news is that the core maintainers have forked the project and are continuing the original project as Winter CMS (see https://github.com/wintercms/winter/issues/5; disclaimer, I'm one of them); and Winter CMS will continue to supports hosts without composer or exec() access.
Winter CMS is currently only available to install through composer, but it does support installing and updating plugins via the backend without composer. We're currently hard at work at getting our marketplace up and running, as well as our web installer, but in the meantime it uses October's marketplace instead.

Installing LaserFiche with PowerShell and Chocolatey

I'm building a custom Chocolatey repo with custom packages for my organization so that we can easily manage software without Group Policies. One piece of software we use is LaserFiche. I am trying to make it do a silent installation, however every time I install from my Choco package, it says that it couldn't install MSXML 6 SP1. All the other prerequisites are installed successfully. I was thinking it was an issue with the installer not being able to find the .msi associated with this, but I tried manually running the installer for that add-on and then installing from my package and it still failed. I'm quite confused as to what is wrong here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Umbraco CMS: Manual Installation

I am using Windows Vista Ultimate and I want to install Umbraco CMS, with which I have no previous experience.
Common installation methods i.e. Installing either via Microsoft Webmatrix or Web Platform Installer didn't work for me. The former is for 7 and 8 versions of Windows and the latter downloads all installation files but fails to install. That is it shows "Installing ..." dialog for over 3 hours that makes me to forcefully end the installation. So all efforts have to be done from scratch (including download of the installation components using Web Platform Installer).
Is there a way to manually install Umbraco without the help of Platform Installer? I have downloaded seperately the files needed for Vista(e.g. Umbraco 7xxx.zip,Powershell 2, ASP.NET MVC, etc.). I don't see any executable in the package for Umbraco. There are just DLL's which I don't know where to copy to, as well as many aspx and ascx files that I don't know what to do with.
http://our.umbraco.org/contribute/releases shows the latest and all other available umbraco releases.
Under the 'Current' heading, you will find links to the most recent stable release detail page where you can grab UmbracoCms.X.X.X.zip which are all the files you need to go through the process manually.
One of the absolute best things about umbraco is that it's so easy to spin up a new isntall this way!
Important! Before you unzip - be sure to right-click the .zip file and open the properties page.
There will be an option to "Unblock" - be sure to click this or you may well experience issues with the dlls.
Unzip these files to where your webroot will be, set-up your IIS site and open in your browser - umbraco will automatically pick up that you need to do 'the install' and take you through a few simple steps that set-up the database and your admin credentials. There are no exe's or installer files - it's all embedded, more-or-less, in the site.
A good practice is the remove the [/install/] folder once you've gone through these steps.
Umbraco has some installation documentation here if you want to see all the various ways and steps available to install an umbraco site. -I prefer the .zip way described above, but you can also go the NuGet route too.

Installing SCM Manager (Mercurial admin web frontend) in windows

I successfully installed mercurial on Windows7 (IIS 7.5) and I got the default UI (default Mercurial admin web frontend). But there is no way to add repositories, users or setting permission through this UI. After some research I came to know about SCM Manager. But I am unable to install it. Can anyone please tell how to install SCM Manager on windows? If you can give the steps it will be very helpful.
Is there a reason why you use the IIS? You can alternatively use the stand alone version of the SCM-Manager that comes with a embedded Jetty server. Just unpack and run scm-server.bat.

Finally I installed SCM Manager successfully on Windows 7. I followed this tutorial http://www.helicontech.com/articles/hosting-git-svn-and-hg-mercurial-repositories-on-windows-with-iis/
