Koha - award-winning GPL Integrated Library System Koha aims to be a full-featured Integrated Library System. Developed initially in New Zealand by Katipo Communications Ltd and first deployed in January of 2000 for Horowhenua Library Trust, it is currently maintained by a team of software providers and library technology staff from around the globe. STRUCTURE ========= Koha 3.0 has been restructured from Koha 2.2 to use Zebra, a high-performance, general-purpose structured text indexing and retrieval engine. Zebra speaks Z39.50, building on one of Koha's most useful features. General library data is held in MySQL, and Koha 3.0 supports MySQL 5, using foreign keys and other recent features. Apache 2 is the recommended web server and VirtualHost configuration files are generated for it. INSTALLATION ============ Koha 3.0 comes with a new installer, based on MakeMaker, the tool that is usually used to install CPAN modules. This means that if you know how to customise CPAN-installed modules, the same things should work for you with Koha. If not, don't worry. If you want to customise the installation more than described below, run "man ExtUtils::MakeMaker" You need to have a server running MySQL 5, Zebra and some webserver (preferably Apache) before installing Koha. Create a database in MySQL called koha, owned by a kohaadmin user, with a password set. Default installation instructions: 0. export MYSQL_PASS=thePasswordYouChose 1. perl Makefile.PL 2. make 3. sudo make install 4. ln -s /usr/share/koha/etc/koha-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha 5. a2ensite koha && /etc/init.d/apache reload 6. zebrasrv -c /usr/share/koha/etc/koha-conf.xml 7. Browse to http://servername:8080/ and answer the questions OR if you want to install all dependencies from CPAN and are root, you can replace steps 1-3 with "perl install-CPAN.pl" but this is non-standard and may not be safe. Nevertheless, it's pretty cool when it works. The defaults will install Koha to places that follow relevant standards, such as the File Hierarchy Standard. If you want to install Koha to a different directory like /opt/koha, then replace step 1 with: 1a. export PREFIX=/opt/koha 1b. export CGI_DIR=/opt/koha/cgi 1c. export LOG_DIR=/opt/koha/log 1d. perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/opt/koha You can change most of the defaults in a similar way, such as MYSQL_HOST. For full instructions on how to override the default settings, run perldoc rewrite-config.PL IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS ==================== IF THIS IS A PRE-RELEASE TREE: please contact developers by email via http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel or http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.education.libraries.koha.devel IF THIS IS A RELEASED VERSION: please see the support pages at http://www.koha.org/ Released versions usually have three-digit numbers, like 3.00.01, while other version number styles are usually snapshots or previews.
