=============================

Installation Instructions
=============================

All commands can be performed as a system user with sudo privileges,
or by running the command directly as root.

Your locale should be set to UTF-8, as should Apache and MySQL.
This step is VERY IMPORTANT for a UNICODE compliant system. Please
read over the following document carefully:

http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=encodingscratchpad

1. Prepare System and Install Dependencies

1.1 Install Debian Etch via Businesscard CD

See http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

1.2 Set up apt sources for Git, Yaz and Zebra packages

Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file and add the following:

# Index Data
deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian etch main
deb-src http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian etch main

# Backports
deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib non-free

Backports packages are signed with a key you can install as follows:

$ sudo apt-get install debian-backports-keyring

The Index Data packages are signed with a key you can install as follows:

$ wget http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/indexdata.asc
$ sudo apt-key add indexdata.asc

Run the following command to update your system:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get -t etch-backports install git-core git-email
$ sudo apt-get install yaz idzebra-2.0 idzebra-2.0-doc

1.3 Download Koha via Git

$ git clone git://git.koha.org/pub/scm/koha.git kohaclone
$ cd kohaclone
$ git checkout -b myinstall origin

Note: for more information about Git, please see the Koha Git Usage Guide:

http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:git_usage

1.4 Install additional Debian dependencies

Using the debian.packages file included in the Koha source tree,
run the following:

$ sudo dpkg --set-selections < install_misc/debian.packages

Now start dselect:

$ sudo dselect

Choose [I]nstall and accept packages to be installed (hit return)

(may take a while)

Choose [C]onfigure, [R]emove and [Q]uit until dselect has completed.

1.5 Install Perl dependencies that aren't packaged into Debian Etch
sources

Run the following command:

$ 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

Note: you may need to run CPAN initialization if you've not run cpan
before:

/etc/perl/CPAN/Config.pm initialized.

CPAN is the world-wide archive of perl resources. It consists of about
100 sites that all replicate the same contents all around the globe.
Many countries have at least one CPAN site already. The resources
found on CPAN are easily accessible with the CPAN.pm module. If you
want to use CPAN.pm, you have to configure it properly.

If you do not want to enter a dialog now, you can answer 'no' to this
question and I'll try to autoconfigure. (Note: you can revisit this
dialog anytime later by typing 'o conf init' at the cpan prompt.)

Are you ready for manual configuration? [yes]

When the configuration is completed CPAN will install the Perl modules.

2. Configuration of dependencies

2.1 Update root MySQL password (if dselect didn't do it for you already)

$ sudo mysqladmin password <password>

2.2 Create the Koha database

$ mysqladmin -uroot -p<password> create database <kohadatabasename>
$ mysql -uroot -p<password>

Create the database and user with associated privileges:

Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 22
Server version: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch3-log Debian etch distribution

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> create database <kohadatabasename>;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> grant all on <kohadatabasename>.* to <kohadatabaseuser> identified by '<kohadatabaseuserpassword>';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> quit

3. Run the Koha installer

$ perl Makefile.PL
( answer questions )
$ make
$ make test
$ sudo make install

4. Configure and start Apache
$ sudo ln -s /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha
(note that the path to koha-httpd.conf may be different depending on your
installation choices)

$ sudo a2enmod rewrite
$ sudo a2ensite koha && /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

5. start Zebra, reload Apache2 config

$ sudo su <zebrauser>
$ zebrasrv -f /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml
(note that the path to koha-conf.xml may be different depending on your
installation choices)

Note: it's recommended that you daemonize the Zebra process and add it to your
startup profile. For a non-production test/development installation, running
Zebra from the command line can be useful.

6. Run the Web Installer, populate the database, initial configuration of settings

Point your browser to http://<servername>:8080/

It should redirect you to the Web installer where you can continue the setup.

Uninstall Instructions
=============================
1) Stop Zebra
2) Remove install folder for Koha
3) Remove /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha
4) Restart Apache2

Tested on the following operating environments
==============================================
- Debian Etch 4.0
