Local Installation

Requirements

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.

Databases

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, and imported on your server. 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.

Backend

The source code is available in the 'website' repository: https://github.com/openml/website

OpenML is written in PHP, and can be 'installed' by copying all files in the 'www' or 'public_html' directory of Apache.

After that, you need to provide your local paths and database accounts and passwords using the config file in: 'APACHE_WWW_DIR'/openml_OS/config/BASE_CONFIG.php.

If everything is configured correctly, OpenML should now be running.
