INSTALL ------- You now the drill: make make test make install Or just use CPAN: cpan Mongoose Or the lighter App::Cpanminus cpanm Mongoose Before installing and running tests, make sure you have a MongoDB instance running. * Setting an alternate testing database By default tests are run against a MongoDB instance on localhost, default port, and DB named '_mongoose_testing'. To change defaults, set the MONGOOSEDB env variable to a comma-separated parameter list as expected by Mongoose->db: export MONGOOSEDB=host,mongodb://anotherhost:12345,db_name,test_db_name * Skipping tests altogether export MONGOOSE_SKIP=1
