10 Installation Instructions
11 =============================
13 All commands can be performed as a system user with sudo privileges,
14 as indicated or by running the command directly as root.
16 1. Prepare System and Install Dependencies
18 1.1 Install Debian Lenny via Businesscard CD
20 See http://www.debian.org/releases/lenny/debian-installer/
22 1.3 Set up Indexdata apt sources for Yaz and Zebra packages
24 Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file and add the following:
27 deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian lenny main
28 deb-src http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian lenny main
30 The Index Data packages are signed with a key you can install as follows:
32 $ wget http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/indexdata.asc
33 $ sudo apt-key add indexdata.asc
37 1.4.1 Option A: Download Koha via Git (optional)
39 $ sudo apt-get install git-core git-email
40 $ git clone git://git.koha.org/pub/scm/koha.git kohaclone
42 $ git checkout -b myinstall origin
44 Note: for more information about Git, please see the Koha Git Usage Guide:
46 http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:git_usage
48 1.4.2 Option B: Download Koha from http://download.koha.org
50 Find the latest Koha stable version on http://download.koha.org
53 $ wget http://download.koha.org/koha-3.00.01-stable.tar.gz
55 1.5 Install additional Debian dependencies
57 IMPORTANT: You should only use CPAN for Perl dependencies which are NOT
58 available from the package maintainer. You have been warned!
60 Using the debian-lenny.packages file included in the Koha source tree,
63 $ sudo dpkg --set-selections < install_misc/debian-lenny.packages
67 $ sudo apt-get install dselect
70 Choose [I]nstall and accept packages to be installed (hit return)
74 Choose [C]onfigure, [R]emove and [Q]uit until dselect has completed.
76 1.6 Install Perl dependencies that aren't packaged into Debian Lenny
79 Run the following command:
81 $ sudo cpan Algorithm::CheckDigits SMS::Send HTTP::OAI
83 Note: you may need to run CPAN initialization if you've not run cpan
86 /etc/perl/CPAN/Config.pm initialized.
88 CPAN is the world-wide archive of perl resources. It consists of about
89 100 sites that all replicate the same contents all around the globe.
90 Many countries have at least one CPAN site already. The resources
91 found on CPAN are easily accessible with the CPAN.pm module. If you
92 want to use CPAN.pm, you have to configure it properly.
94 If you do not want to enter a dialog now, you can answer 'no' to this
95 question and I'll try to autoconfigure. (Note: you can revisit this
96 dialog anytime later by typing 'o conf init' at the cpan prompt.)
98 Are you ready for manual configuration? [yes]
100 When the configuration is completed CPAN will install the Perl modules.
102 2. Configuration of dependencies
104 2.1 Update root MySQL password (if dselect didn't do it for you already)
106 $ sudo mysqladmin password <password>
108 2.2 Create the Koha database
110 Create the database and user with associated privileges:
112 $ mysqladmin -uroot -p<password> create <kohadatabasename>
113 $ mysql -uroot -p<password>
115 Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
116 Your MySQL connection id is 22
117 Server version: 5.0.51a-24 (Debian)
119 Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
121 mysql> grant all on <kohadatabasename>.* to '<kohadatabaseuser>'@'localhost' identified by '<kohadatabaseuserpassword>';
122 Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
124 mysql> flush privileges;
125 Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
129 2.3 Test your SAX Parser and correct where necessary
131 You must be sure you're using the XML::LibXML SAX parser, not Expat or
132 PurePerl, both of which have outstanding bugs with pre-composed characters.
133 You can test your SAX parser by running:
136 $ misc/sax_parser_print.pl
138 You should see something like::
140 XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser=HASH(0x81fe220)
142 If you're using PurePerl or Expat, you'll need to edit your
143 ini file, typically located at:
145 /etc/perl/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini
148 3. Run the Koha installer
156 4. Configure and start Apache
157 $ sudo ln -s /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha
158 (note that the path to koha-httpd.conf may be different depending on your
159 installation choices)
161 Add the following lines to /etc/apache2/ports.conf:
166 Run the following commands:
168 $ sudo a2enmod rewrite
170 $ sudo apache2ctl restart
172 Note: you may still see the usual Apache default site if your VirtualHost
173 configuration isn't correct. The command "sudo a2dissite default" may be a
174 quick fix, but may have side-effects. See the Apache HTTPD manual section on
175 virtual hosts for full instructions.
177 5. Configure and start Zebra
179 Note: it's recommended that you daemonize the Zebra process and add it to your
180 startup profile. For a non-production test/development installation, running
181 Zebra from the command line can be useful. Pick from the two available options
182 below, or roll your own :-)
184 Note: it's also recommended that you create a Koha system user, which you will
185 have specified during the install process. Alternatively, Zebra can be
186 configured to run as the root user.
188 Option 1: run the Zebra processes from the command line:
191 $ sudo -u ${KOHA_USER} zebrasrv -f /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml
192 (note that the path to koha-conf.xml may be different depending on your
193 installation choices)
195 Note: the user you run Zebra as will be the only user with write permission
196 on the Zebra index; in development mode, you may wish to use your system
200 $ sudo -u ${KOHA_USER} misc/bin/zebraqueue_daemon.pl
202 Note: if you are running in this mode, you may wish to defer starting the
203 zebraqueue until you've run the web installer (see below).
205 Option 2: run the Zebra processes as daemons, and add to startup process:
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.
211 $ sudo ln -s ${SCRIPT_DIR}/koha-zebra-ctl.sh /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon
212 (Note: ${SCRIPT_DIR} is /usr/share/koha/bin/ by default in a standard install)
213 $ sudo update-rc.d koha-zebra-daemon defaults
214 ( Note: see man chkconfig(8) on other distros )
216 $ sudo ${SCRIPT_DIR}/koha-zebra-ctl.sh start
219 $ sudo ln -s ${SCRIPT_DIR}/koha-zebraqueue-ctl.sh /etc/init.d/koha-zebraqueue-daemon
220 $ sudo update-rc.d koha-zebraqueue-daemon defaults
221 ( Note: see man chkconfig(8) on other distros )
223 $ sudo ${SCRIPT_DIR}/koha-zebraqueue-ctl.sh start
225 6. Run the Web Installer, populate the database, initial configuration of settings
227 Point your browser to http://<servername>:8080/
229 It should redirect you to the Web Installer where you can continue the setup.
230 You can install the sample data for libraries, patrons, etc. via the Web Installer
234 Once the installer has completed, you can import and index MARC records from the
235 command line thusly (Note: you can also use the 'Stage MARC records for import' from
236 the Tools area of Koha's Staff Client to import a batch of MARC records):
238 $ export KOHA_CONF=/usr/share/koha/etc/koha-conf.xml
239 (note: use the correct path to your koha-conf.xml)
242 Bibliographic data in MARC21 format
243 $ misc/migration-tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -file /path/to/marc.iso2709
244 Authority data in MARC21 format
245 $ misc/migration-tools/bulkauthimport.pl -file /path/to/auth.iso2709
248 $ misc/migration-tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -w
250 Once the indexing has completed, you will be able to search for records in your
251 system. NOTE: if you don't run the Fast Index utility, and you have the index
252 updates scheduled as per 7.3 the indexing process will happen in the background,
253 but it will be orders of magnitude slower.
255 7.3 Schedule regular index updates
256 run rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z as a regular cron job,
257 check misc/cronjobs/crontab.example for usage examples
259 7.4 To enable public Z39.50/SRU servers, you'll need to edit your koha-conf.xml and
260 change the <listen> options to listen on a TCP port; then restart the zebra daemon.
264 If you are upgrading from a previous installation of Koha 3, you can
267 perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log /path/to/koha-install-log
272 Uninstall Instructions
273 =============================
275 $ sudo a2dissite koha
