Extension to manage LTI services for TAO

Installation instructions

These instructions assume that you have already a TAO installation on your system. If you don't, go to package/tao and follow the installation instructions.

If you installed your TAO instance through package/tao, oat-sa/extension-tao-lti is very likely already installed. You can verify this under Settings -> Extension manager, where it would appear on the left hand side as taoLti. Alternatively you would find it in the code at /config/generis/installation.conf.php.

Note, that you have to be logged in as System Administrator to do this.

Add the extension to your TAO composer and to the autoloader:

composer require oat-sa/extension-tao-lti

Install the extension on the CLI from the project root:

Linux:

sudo php tao/scripts/installExtension oat-sa/extension-tao-lti

Windows:

php tao\scripts\installExtension oat-sa/extension-tao-lti

As a system administrator you can also install it through the TAO Extension Manager:

• Settings (the gears on the right hand side of the menu) -> Extension manager
• Select taoLti on the right hand side, check the box and hit install
