Setting up Perforce [Admin]
Open P4Admin, make sure you are connection to your IP XXXXXXXXX:1666
​
Remember Connection>Open Connection>Input IP address with :1666
​
User just the default for now.
Then click on User&Group, right click and select New User
Fill out User, Email, Full Name, and Password. Type: standard. Don’t worry about Job views, Reviews, and Groups for now.
Click Ok, this should be the remote PC user login.
​
NOTE: try to figure out what works for your working environment for users
​
Welp, we are gucci for P4Admin Now time to go to P4V…..When does this documentation ends or am I crazy!?
When open P4V and type the IP and username. It should look like this.
Let’s create some Workspace.
​
Go to Connection and New Workspace
It should look like this. This is the part where I explain.
Workspace Name is the folder where it contains all the files. Usually I left this alone.
Workspace Root is just the folder location. MAKE SURE THE LAST ROOT NAME IS THE SAME AS WORSPACE NAME
​
Example if Workspace name is Cool_LloydNguyen_3675 then the last path of Workspace root should be …\…\Cool_LloydNguyen_3675
The check marks are the depots that included workspace
​
To clear or include them, right click and select clear or include
So if I want to only select my Tutorial depot the check mark should only be on my Tutorial depot
Then I would update my Workspace root (you don't have to update your root (if like where it is at)
Just remember to keep the name consistence
Press Okay and you should see your workspace in the thingy
Oh one more thing, go to the tab View>Select Workspaces
This panel should pop up and it should display all the workspace you have and you can edit them
We are almost there!! Stick with me!
​
Now that you create the workspace, your files might not recognize by the depot . Yeah, it happened to me and I didn’t understand why until now.
​
HOT TIPS: So when you add a file if it doesn’t show up, hit Refresh (on top left, stupid clipboard doesn’t let me paste image)
For example if you have a test.txt and try to add it to the repo, it wouldn’t let you
and it will give you this error
It is because that file isn’t in the right depot path
You can see the Tutorial Depot path is ….\\Cool_LloydNguyen_2765\Tutorial\
​
That means you must have a Tutorial folder in your Cool_LloydNguyen_2765
Now if you put the test.txt in there and hit add, it should give you this icon
That means the depot recognized the file, then with the file selected you can submit to the depo (I will show you how to submit and add in detail later because it is quiet different from git)
After hitting Submit, write a brief description about the changes and make sure the files that needs to be submitted is there
Soooooo, we are at the end and we are gucci on your part!! To check if it upload success go to depot tab and see if Test.txt is there
