Local Installation

You'll need to have the following software running:

• Apache Webserver, (with the rewrite module enabled. Is installed by default, not enabled.)
• MySQL Server.
• PHP (comes also with Apache) Or just a XAMP (Mac), LAMP (Linux) or WAMP (Windows) package, which conveniently contains all these applications.

Next, OpenML runs on two databases, a public database with all experiment information, and a private database, with information like user accounts etc. The databases can be downloaded from this URL: http://www.openml.org/developers. Obviously, these do not include any user account info.

NOTE: Developers are advised to use the development version of the databases instead, see: http://openml.liacs.nl/developers. Only these will include the latest changes needed for the latest website updates.

OpenML is written in PHP, and can be 'installed' by copying all files in the 'www' or 'public_html' directory of WAMP. After that, the config file BASE_CONFIG.php needs to be setup. This file can be found in 'APACHE_WWW_DIR'/openml_OS/config/
