12 Installation Instructions
13 =============================
15 All commands can be performed as a system user with sudo privileges,
16 as indicated or by running the command directly as root.
18 1. Prepare System and Install Dependencies
20 1.1 Install Debian Lenny via Businesscard CD
22 See http://www.debian.org/releases/lenny/debian-installer/
24 1.3 Set up Indexdata apt sources for Yaz and Zebra packages
26 Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file and add the following:
29 deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian lenny main
30 deb-src http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian lenny main
32 The Index Data packages are signed with a key you can install as follows:
34 $ wget http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/indexdata.asc
35 $ sudo apt-key add indexdata.asc
39 1.4.1 Option A: Download Koha via Git (optional)
41 $ sudo apt-get install git-core git-email
42 $ git clone git://git.koha-community.org/pub/scm/koha.git kohaclone
44 $ git checkout -b myinstall origin
46 Note: for more information about Git, please see the Koha Git Usage Guide:
48 http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Version_Control_Using_Git
50 1.4.2 Option B: Download Koha from http://download.koha-community.org
52 Find the latest Koha stable version on http://download.koha-community.org
55 $ wget <URL> found on download.koha-community.org
57 1.5 Install additional Debian dependencies
59 IMPORTANT: You should only use CPAN for Perl dependencies which are NOT
60 available from the package maintainer. You have been warned!
62 Run shell script installing all necessary Debian packages, MySQL Server,
63 Zebra and all Debian packaged Perl module required by Koha:
65 $ sudo install_misc/apt-get-debian-lenny.sh
67 1.6 Install Perl dependencies that aren't packaged into Debian Lenny
70 Run the following command:
72 $ sudo cpan Algorithm::CheckDigits SMS::Send HTTP::OAI IPC::Cmd \\
73 Memoize::Memcached PDF::API2::Simple PDF::Table Storable Test::More \\
74 Locale::Currency::Format
76 Note: you may need to run CPAN initialization if you've not run cpan
79 /etc/perl/CPAN/Config.pm initialized.
81 CPAN is the world-wide archive of perl resources. It consists of about
82 100 sites that all replicate the same contents all around the globe.
83 Many countries have at least one CPAN site already. The resources
84 found on CPAN are easily accessible with the CPAN.pm module. If you
85 want to use CPAN.pm, you have to configure it properly.
87 If you do not want to enter a dialog now, you can answer 'no' to this
88 question and I'll try to autoconfigure. (Note: you can revisit this
89 dialog anytime later by typing 'o conf init' at the cpan prompt.)
91 Are you ready for manual configuration? [yes]
93 When the configuration is completed CPAN will install the Perl modules.
95 2. Configuration of dependencies
97 2.1 Update root MySQL password (if dselect didn't do it for you already)
99 $ sudo mysqladmin password <password>
101 2.2 Create the Koha database
103 Create the database and user with associated privileges:
105 $ mysqladmin -uroot -p<password> create <kohadatabasename>
106 $ mysql -uroot -p<password>
108 Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
109 Your MySQL connection id is 22
110 Server version: 5.0.51a-24 (Debian)
112 Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
114 mysql> grant all on <kohadatabasename>.* to '<kohadatabaseuser>'@'localhost' identified by '<kohadatabaseuserpassword>';
115 Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
117 mysql> flush privileges;
118 Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
122 2.3 Test your SAX Parser and correct where necessary
124 You must be sure you're using the XML::LibXML SAX parser, not Expat or
125 PurePerl, both of which have outstanding bugs with pre-composed characters.
126 You can test your SAX parser by running:
129 $ misc/sax_parser_print.pl
131 You should see something like::
133 XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser=HASH(0x81fe220)
135 If you're using PurePerl or Expat, you'll need to edit your
136 ini file, typically located at:
138 /etc/perl/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini
141 3. Run the Koha installer
149 4. Configure and start Apache
150 $ sudo ln -s /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha
151 (note that the path to koha-httpd.conf may be different depending on your
152 installation choices)
154 Add the following lines to /etc/apache2/ports.conf:
159 Run the following commands:
161 $ sudo a2enmod rewrite
163 $ sudo apache2ctl restart
165 Note: you may still see the usual Apache default site if your VirtualHost
166 configuration isn't correct. The command "sudo a2dissite default" may be a
167 quick fix, but may have side-effects. See the Apache HTTPD manual section on
168 virtual hosts for full instructions.
170 5. Configure and start Zebra
172 Note: it's recommended that you daemonize the Zebra process and add it to your
173 startup profile. For a non-production test/development installation, running
174 Zebra from the command line can be useful. Pick from the two available options
175 below, or roll your own :-)
177 Note: it's also recommended that you create a Koha system user, which you will
178 have specified during the install process. Alternatively, Zebra can be
179 configured to run as the root user.
181 Option 1: run the Zebra processes from the command line:
183 1.1 Zebra Search Server
185 This process send responses to search requests sent by Koha or
186 Z39.50/SRU/SRW clients.
188 $ sudo -u ${KOHA_USER} zebrasrv -f /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml
189 (note that the path to koha-conf.xml may be different depending on your
190 installation choices)
192 Note: the user you run Zebra as will be the only user with write permission
193 on the Zebra index; in development mode, you may wish to use your
198 Added/updated/deleted records in Koha MySQL database must be indexed
199 into Zebra. A specific script must be launched each time a bibliographic
200 or an authority record is edited.
202 $ sudo -u ${KOHA_USER} misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra -z -b -a
203 NOTE: This script should be run as the kohauser (the default is 'koha').
205 Option 2: run automatically Zebra process as a daemon:
207 Note that references to $SCRIPT_DIR refer to the directory where
208 Koha's command-line scripts are installed, e.g., /usr/share/koha/bin.
210 1.1 Zebra Search Server
212 $ sudo ln -s ${SCRIPT_DIR}/koha-zebra-ctl.sh /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon
213 (Note: ${SCRIPT_DIR} is /usr/share/koha/bin/ by default in a standard install)
214 $ sudo update-rc.d koha-zebra-daemon defaults
215 ( Note: see man chkconfig(8) on other distros )
217 $ sudo ${SCRIPT_DIR}/koha-zebra-ctl.sh start
221 Add an entry in Koha user crontab to scheduled added/updated/deleted records
222 indexing by Zebra with this command:
224 <path/to/koha>/misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra -z -b -a
226 See check misc/cronjobs/crontab.example for usage examples.
227 NOTE: This job should be setup under the kohauser (the default is 'koha').
229 6. Run the Web Installer, populate the database, initial configuration of settings
231 Point your browser to http://<servername>:8080/
233 It should redirect you to the Web Installer where you can continue the setup.
234 You can install the sample data for libraries, patrons, etc. via the Web Installer
238 Once the installer has completed, you can import and index MARC records from the
239 command line thusly (Note: you can also use the 'Stage MARC records for import' from
240 the Tools area of Koha's Staff Client to import a batch of MARC records):
242 $ export KOHA_CONF=/usr/share/koha/etc/koha-conf.xml
243 (note: use the correct path to your koha-conf.xml)
247 Bibliographic data in MARC21 format
249 $ misc/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -file /path/to/marc.iso2709
251 Authority data in MARC21 format
253 $ misc/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -a -file /path/to/auth.iso2709
256 $ misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -w
258 Once the indexing has completed, you will be able to search for records in your system.
259 NOTE: This script should be run as the kohauser (the default is 'koha').
261 7.3 Schedule regular index updates
262 You need to run rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z as a regular cron job in orde to pick up new bibs
263 and items as you add them. Check misc/cronjobs/crontab.example for usage examples. See 7.0 above.
264 NOTE: This job should be setup under the kohauser (the default is 'koha').
266 7.4 To enable public Z39.50/SRU servers, you'll need to edit your koha-conf.xml and
267 change the <listen> options to listen on a TCP port; then restart the zebra daemon.
271 If you are upgrading from a previous installation of Koha 3, you can
274 perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log /path/to/koha-install-log
