While the architecture of COmanage Gears describes three separate components of COordinate (the backend system), COnsole (the web UI), and the REST COnnectors (for XML and JSON data transfers), the actual implementation is based on an MVC framework called CakePHP. As such, the technical implementation consists of one package, where the boundaries separating these three components is somewhat fuzzy. Roughly speaking, COnsole can be thought of as the HTML views and the REST COnnectors can be thought of as the XML and JSON views. While not strictly correct, this conceptualization is adequate for installation.
