Installing on Fedora
These instructions are for the current version of Fedora 15. If you are using a older version you may need to use things like remi repo for up to date packages.
To install build tools, run the following:
su -c 'yum install make automake gcc gcc-c++ libxslt libxslt-devel libxml2 libxml2-devel libffi libffi-devel libcurl libcurl-devel openssl-devel sqlite-devel'
You can install Ruby on a clean per user basis via RVM. This is currently recommended to get the latest Rubygems version.
You still need a system Ruby so run:
sudo apt-get install ruby-devel
To install RVM and Ruby 1.9.2, as your normal user (the one which Diaspora should run under), run (I was getting an error so I had to run curl -k which told me to "echo insecure >> ~/.curlrc")
bash <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer) stable
echo "[[ -s '$rvm_path/scripts/rvm' ]] && . '$rvm_path/scripts/rvm' # Load RVM function" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
rvm install ruby-1.9.2-p290
rvm use ruby-1.9.2-p290@globalThis installs MySQL, you also need the mysql-devel package:
su -c 'yum install mysql-server mysql-devel'
To start MySQL run
su -c 'service mysqld start'
This installs Postgres also if you prefer to use this over MySQL (requires some postgres setup knowledge):
su -c 'yum install postgresql-server postgresql-devel'
To start Postgres see: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/YUM_Installation
To install ImageMagick, run the following:
su -c 'yum install ImageMagick'
To install Git, run the following:
su -c 'yum install git'
To install Redis, run the following:
su -c 'yum install redis'
Make a directory for redis logs
su -c 'mkdir /var/log/diaspora'
To install RubyGems, run the following:
su -c 'yum install rubygems'
Rubygems tends to be a little old, you can update it by:
su -c 'gem update --system'
To install Bundler, run the following:
su -c 'gem install bundler'
