11 Installation Instructions
12 =============================
14 All commands can be performed as a system user with sudo privileges,
15 as indicated or by running the command directly as root.
17 Your locale should be set to UTF-8, as should Apache2 and MySQL 5.
18 This step is VERY IMPORTANT for a UNICODE compliant system. Please
19 read over the following document carefully:
21 http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=encodingscratchpad
23 1. Prepare System and Install Dependencies
25 1.1 Install Debian Etch via Businesscard CD
27 See http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
29 1.2 Set up apt sources for Git, Yaz and Zebra packages
31 Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file and add the following:
34 deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian etch main
35 deb-src http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian etch main
38 deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib non-free
40 Backports packages are signed with a key you can install as follows:
42 $ sudo apt-get install debian-backports-keyring
44 The Index Data packages are signed with a key you can install as follows:
46 $ wget http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/indexdata.asc
47 $ sudo apt-key add indexdata.asc
49 Run the following command to update your system:
52 $ sudo apt-get -t etch-backports install git-core git-email
53 $ sudo apt-get install yaz idzebra-2.0 idzebra-2.0-doc
55 1.3 Download Koha via Git
57 $ git clone git://git.koha.org/pub/scm/koha.git kohaclone
59 $ git checkout -b myinstall origin
61 Note: for more information about Git, please see the Koha Git Usage Guide:
63 http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:git_usage
65 1.4 Install additional Debian dependencies
67 Using the debian.packages file included in the Koha source tree,
70 $ sudo dpkg --set-selections < install_misc/debian.packages
76 Choose [I]nstall and accept packages to be installed (hit return)
80 Choose [C]onfigure, [R]emove and [Q]uit until dselect has completed.
82 1.5 Install Perl dependencies that aren't packaged into Debian Etch
85 Run the following command:
87 $ sudo cpan MARC::Record Class::Accessor MARC::Charset MARC::File::XML Net::Z3950::ZOOM HTML::Template::Pro MARC::Crosswalk::DublinCore PDF::Reuse PDF::Reuse::Barcode Data::ICal GD::Barcode::UPCE XML::RSS Algorithm::CheckDigits::M43_001 Biblio::EndnoteStyle POE Schedule::At
89 Note: you may need to run CPAN initialization if you've not run cpan
92 /etc/perl/CPAN/Config.pm initialized.
94 CPAN is the world-wide archive of perl resources. It consists of about
95 100 sites that all replicate the same contents all around the globe.
96 Many countries have at least one CPAN site already. The resources
97 found on CPAN are easily accessible with the CPAN.pm module. If you
98 want to use CPAN.pm, you have to configure it properly.
100 If you do not want to enter a dialog now, you can answer 'no' to this
101 question and I'll try to autoconfigure. (Note: you can revisit this
102 dialog anytime later by typing 'o conf init' at the cpan prompt.)
104 Are you ready for manual configuration? [yes]
106 When the configuration is completed CPAN will install the Perl modules.
108 2. Configuration of dependencies
110 2.1 Update root MySQL password (if dselect didn't do it for you already)
112 $ sudo mysqladmin password <password>
114 2.2 Create the Koha database
116 $ mysqladmin -uroot -p<password> create database <kohadatabasename>
117 $ mysql -uroot -p<password>
119 Create the database and user with associated privileges:
121 Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
122 Your MySQL connection id is 22
123 Server version: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch3-log Debian etch distribution
125 Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
127 mysql> create database <kohadatabasename>;
128 Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
130 mysql> grant all on <kohadatabasename>.* to <kohadatabaseuser> identified by '<kohadatabaseuserpassword>';
131 Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
133 mysql> flush privileges;
134 Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
138 3. Run the Koha installer
146 4. Configure and start Apache
147 $ sudo ln -s /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha
148 (note that the path to koha-httpd.conf may be different depending on your
149 installation choices)
151 $ sudo a2enmod rewrite
153 $ sudo apache2ctl restart
155 5. Configure and start Zebra
157 Note: it's recommended that you daemonize the Zebra process and add it to your
158 startup profile. For a non-production test/development installation, running
159 Zebra from the command line can be useful. Pick from the two available options
160 below, or roll your own :-)
162 Note: it's also recommended that you create a Koha system user, which you will
163 have specified during the install process. Alternatively, Zebra can be
164 configured to run as the root user.
166 Option 1: run the Zebra processes from the command line:
169 $ sudo ${KOHA_USER} zebrasrv -f /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml
170 (note that the path to koha-conf.xml may be different depending on your
171 installation choices)
174 $ sudo ${KOHA_USER} misc/bin/zebraqueue_daemon.pl
176 Option 2: run the Zebra processes as daemons, and add to startup process:
178 Note that references to $SCRIPT_DIR refer to the directory where
179 Koha's command-line scripts are installed, e.g., /usr/share/koha/bin.
182 $ sudo ln -s ${SCRIPT_DIR}/koha-zebra-ctl.sh /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon
183 $ sudo update-rc.d koha-zebra-daemon defaults
184 ( Note: see man chkconfig(8) on other distros )
186 $ sudo ${SCRIPT_DIR}/koha-zebra-ctl.sh start
189 $ sudo ln -s ${SCRIPT_DIR}/koha-zebraqueue-ctl.sh /etc/init.d/koha-zebraqueue-daemon
190 $ sudo update-rc.d koha-zebraqueue-daemon defaults
191 ( Note: see man chkconfig(8) on other distros )
193 $ sudo ${SCRIPT_DIR}/koha-zebraqueue-ctl.sh start
195 Note: you can use the following commands to remove the zebra daemons from startup:
196 $ sudo update-rc.d koha-zebra-daemon remove
197 $ sudo update-rc.d koha-zebraqueue-daemon remove
199 6. Run the Web Installer, populate the database, initial configuration of settings
201 Point your browser to http://<servername>:8080/
203 It should redirect you to the Web installer where you can continue the setup.
205 Uninstall Instructions
206 =============================
208 2) Remove install folder for Koha
209 3) Remove /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha
