if you - just installed a fresh debian etch - want to install koha - don't want to strugle with apt configuration, weird dependancies conflit, and cpan install modules this script does it for you note: french doc. is more detailled for the moment (i apologize). warning: Even if etch is always prefered, this script installs some lenny packages. If you don't want to mix distribs for any reason, please don't use this script. required: locales have to be allready configured configured recommends: . /!\ koha needs a local MTA. By default, courier-mta will be installed. I recommend postfix but i won't decide for you (the choice of the MTA relies on too many parameters). if you want to know the alternatives, type aptitude search '~Dprovides:mail-transport-agent' go: - edit the first lines of the script to set some environement variables (you can also use export to set variables out of the script) - from the shell, type sh install_koha_from_on_fesh_etch [install flags] flags are t: install koha from release or beta tarballs (default is git) b: install koha from beta tarballs (default is git) c: debian is still configured. It means that you exactly know the required sources and the script asumes that those sources are configured - answer to the questions it's ready to use ... TODO: - improve this documentation
