This document provides step by step instructions to obtain an archive of the PIM Enterprise Edition.

#Give access to the project Console

#The projects console

The project console is the place in your Portal where you can manage the access to your project like the Enterprise Repository and get the bootstrap archive. It can also be used to configure your cloud instances and helpdesk access.

#Add developers to the projects console

Supervisor or project manager are the users who can give the authorization to work on Akeneo PIM project source code.

The users that are allowed to access the project console are named the console users.

As a supervisor, you have the privilege to create new users on the portal and add them to the console user group to be able to access the projects console. You can do it by going to My Company / Contacts / Add Contact, fill the form and select the Console user group and activate it by clicking on the red X in the user's list.

#Access to the project on the projects console

If you have not access to the project and if you are neither a supervisor nor project manager, you should request to the Project Manager to get you listed under Enterprise Repository / SSH Key Access subtab. You can check who is the project manager on the properties tab of the Project, you can also check who is the Supervisor within your company by going on My Company / General Information and looking on the Supervisors section.

• To access the Console, from the Portal, go to Projects console / Projects
• Choose the corresponding project

#Give the access to the Enterprise Repository

When you start a project, you need to get the bootstrap archive from the Enterprise Repository. You will need to install Akeneo PIM from this archive which can only be done by users whose ssh keys have been added to the enterprise repository. The access to the Enterprise Repository is handled by composer and git.

#Import my public key

Each user wanting to get the bootstrap archive has to share their SSH public key with Akeneo first.

1. Login to your Portal
2. Click over your Username in the upper right corner.
3. Select Manage Public Keys
4. Click Add a new public key
5. Give the key a name, an email and the associated public key file content (usually located at ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)
6. Click save

#Add permissions to install the project with the public keys

As project manager or supervisor, you can allow console users to access the project by selecting their SSH Key for the project. Each developer who accesses the enterprise repository needs to have their ssh key authorized. Each SSH Key needs to be linked to a console user.

1. On the left menu, go to Projects console / Projects and select your project.
2. Go to Enterprise Repository tab, and SSH Key Access sub-tab.

• Second case, click on Import a new Public Key and fill the public key details.

5. After the form has been filled, click Add contact key
6. Each time a console user joins a new project, a email is sent to inform them of the access granted.

#Request an archive on the Enterprise Repository

Once the users have access to the Enterprise Repository, they will be able to request an archive.

1. On the left menu, go to Projects console / Projects and select your project.
2. Open the Enterprise Repository / Properties sub-tab.
3. Look for the Get archive by email button on the right side of the screen.
4. Click on it, you will be prompted to select one PIM EE version.

Once this is done, a completeness message will be displayed. The bootstrap archive will be send to your email in the following 5 minutes. Sometimes it could take a bit more, but always check your Spam folder before requesting the bootstrap again.

Then you can install the project by following the installation guide.
