15 Installation Instructions
16 =============================
18 All commands can be performed as a system user with sudo privileges,
19 as indicated or by running the command directly as root.
21 1. Prepare System and Install Dependencies
23 1.1 Install Ubuntu Jaunty via CD
25 See http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
27 1.2 Set up your locale
29 Your locale should be set to UTF-8, as should Apache2 and MySQL 5.
30 This step is VERY IMPORTANT for a UNICODE compliant system. Please
31 read over the following document carefully:
33 http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=encodingscratchpad
35 You can verify your system locale by typing the following command:
39 IMPORTANT: You _MUST_ follow all the steps outlined there for
40 Apache2, MySQL 5, etc. BEFORE you install Koha.
42 1.3 Install the Yaz and Zebra packages
44 Run the following command to update your system:
47 $ sudo apt-get install yaz idzebra-2.0 idzebra-2.0-doc
51 1.4.1 Option A: Download Koha via Git (optional)
53 $ sudo apt-get install git-core git-email
54 $ git clone git://git.koha.org/pub/scm/koha.git kohaclone
56 $ git checkout -b myinstall origin
58 Note: for more information about Git, please see the Koha Git Usage Guide:
60 http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:git_usage
62 1.4.2 Option B: Download Koha from http://download.koha.org
64 $ wget http://download.koha.org/koha-3.00.02.tar.gz
65 ( Note: use the latest stable version)
67 1.5 Install additional Ubuntu dependencies
69 IMPORTANT: You should only use CPAN for Perl dependencies which are NOT
70 available from the package maintainer. You have been warned!
72 Using the ubuntu.packages file included in the Koha source tree,
75 $ sudo dpkg --set-selections < install_misc/ubuntu.packages
77 Now start dselect (you may need to 'sudo apt-get install dselect'):
81 Choose [I]nstall and accept packages to be installed (hit return)
85 Choose [C]onfigure, [R]emove and [Q]uit until dselect has completed.
87 1.6 Install Perl dependencies that aren't packaged into Ubuntu Jaunty
90 Run the following command:
92 $ sudo cpan MARC::Crosswalk::DublinCore GD GD::Barcode::UPCE Email::Date \
93 HTML::Scrubber Algorithm::CheckDigits::M43_001 Biblio::EndnoteStyle
95 Note: you may need to run CPAN initialization if you've not run cpan
98 /etc/perl/CPAN/Config.pm initialized.
100 CPAN is the world-wide archive of perl resources. It consists of about
101 100 sites that all replicate the same contents all around the globe.
102 Many countries have at least one CPAN site already. The resources
103 found on CPAN are easily accessible with the CPAN.pm module. If you
104 want to use CPAN.pm, you have to configure it properly.
106 If you do not want to enter a dialog now, you can answer 'no' to this
107 question and I'll try to autoconfigure. (Note: you can revisit this
108 dialog anytime later by typing 'o conf init' at the cpan prompt.)
110 Are you ready for manual configuration? [yes]
112 When the configuration is completed CPAN will install the Perl modules.
114 2. Configuration of dependencies
116 2.1 Update root MySQL password (if dselect didn't do it for you already)
118 $ sudo mysqladmin password <password>
120 2.2 Create the Koha database
122 Create the database and user with associated privileges:
124 $ mysqladmin -uroot -p<password> create <kohadatabasename>
125 $ mysql -uroot -p<password>
127 Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
128 Your MySQL connection id is 22
129 Server version: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch3-log Debian etch distribution
131 Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
133 mysql> grant all on <kohadatabasename>.* to '<kohadatabaseuser>'@'localhost' identified by '<kohadatabaseuserpassword>';
134 Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
136 mysql> flush privileges;
137 Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
141 2.3 Test your SAX Parser and correct where necessary
143 You must be sure you're using the XML::LibXML SAX parser, not Expat or PurePerl, both of which have outstanding bugs with pre-composed characters. You can test your SAX parser by running:
146 $ misc/sax_parser_print.pl
148 You should see something like::
150 XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser=HASH(0x81fe220)
152 If you're using PurePerl or Expat, you'll need to edit your
153 ini file, typically located at:
155 /etc/perl/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini
157 2.4 Install DBD::mysql Perl module
159 In order to handle UTF-8 correctly, Koha requires at least version 4.004
160 of the DBD::mysql Perl module. However, Debian Etch has a stable package
161 only for version 3.0008, so it is necessary to install the module from CPAN.
162 DBD::mysql's test suite needs to use a MySQL 'test' DB which doesn't exist
163 anymore. So there are two options to install DBD::mysql:
165 (1) install without test suite,
166 (2) install with test suite requiring a test MySQL DB creation.
168 2.4.1 Install without test suite
170 Force install DBD::mysql:
173 cpan> force install DBD::mysql
175 2.4.2 Create test database in order to install DBD::mysql
177 Because of DBD::mysql's test suite, it is necessary to temporarily create a
178 test database and user:
180 $ mysql -uroot -p<password>
182 Create the database and user with associated privileges:
184 Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
185 Your MySQL connection id is 22
186 Server version: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch3-log Debian etch distribution
188 Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
190 mysql> create database test;
191 Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
193 mysql> grant all on test.* to 'test'@'localhost' identified by 'test';
194 Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
195 (test database, user, and password can be different if need be)
197 mysql> flush privileges;
198 Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
202 Next install DBD::mysql:
206 cpan> o conf makepl_arg
207 (get current value of this CPAN parameter)
209 cpan> o conf makepl_arg "--testdb=test --testuser=test --testpass=test"
211 cpan> install DBD::mysql
213 cpan> o conf makepl_arg ''
217 cpan> o conf makepl_arg '<old setting>'
219 (restore this setting so as to not interfere with future CPAN installs).
222 Finally, remove the test database:
224 $ mysql -uroot -p<password>
226 mysql> drop database test;
227 Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
232 3. Run the Koha installer
240 4. Configure and start Apache
241 $ sudo ln -s /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha
242 (note that the path to koha-httpd.conf may be different depending on your
243 installation choices)
245 Add the following lines to /etc/apache2/ports.conf:
250 If not running named virtual hosts (The default koha installation does not use named virtual hosts.), comment out the following line:
254 Run the following commands:
256 $ sudo a2enmod rewrite
258 $ sudo apache2ctl restart
260 Note: you may still see the usual Apache default site if your VirtualHost
261 configuration isn't correct. The command "sudo a2dissite default" may be a
262 quick fix, but may have side-effects. See the Apache HTTPD manual section on
263 virtual hosts for full instructions.
265 5. Configure and start Zebra
267 Note: it's recommended that you daemonize the Zebra process and add it to your
268 startup profile. For a non-production test/development installation, running
269 Zebra from the command line can be useful. Pick from the two available options
270 below, or roll your own :-)
272 Note: it's also recommended that you create a Koha system user, which you will
273 have specified during the install process. Alternatively, Zebra can be
274 configured to run as the root user.
281 Option 1: run the Zebra processes from the command line:
284 $ sudo -u ${KOHA_USER} zebrasrv -f /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml
285 (note that the path to koha-conf.xml may be different depending on your
286 installation choices)
288 Note: the user you run Zebra as will be the only user with write permission
289 on the Zebra index; in development mode, you may wish to use your system
293 $ sudo -u ${KOHA_USER} misc/bin/zebraqueue_daemon.pl
295 Note: if you are running in this mode, you may wish to defer starting the
296 zebraqueue until you've run the web installer (see below).
298 Option 2: run the Zebra processes as daemons, and add to startup process:
300 Note that references to $SCRIPT_DIR refer to the directory where
301 Koha's command-line scripts are installed, e.g., /usr/share/koha/bin.
304 $ sudo ln -s ${SCRIPT_DIR}/koha-zebra-ctl.sh /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon
305 (Note: ${SCRIPT_DIR} is /usr/share/koha/bin/ by default in a standard install)
306 $ sudo update-rc.d koha-zebra-daemon defaults
307 ( Note: see man chkconfig(8) on other distros )
309 $ sudo ${SCRIPT_DIR}/koha-zebra-ctl.sh start
312 $ sudo ln -s ${SCRIPT_DIR}/koha-zebraqueue-ctl.sh /etc/init.d/koha-zebraqueue-daemon
313 $ sudo update-rc.d koha-zebraqueue-daemon defaults
314 ( Note: see man chkconfig(8) on other distros )
316 $ sudo ${SCRIPT_DIR}/koha-zebraqueue-ctl.sh start
318 6. Run the Web Installer, populate the database, initial configuration of settings
320 Point your browser to http://<servername>:8080/
322 It should redirect you to the Web Installer where you can continue the setup.
323 You can install the sample data for libraries, patrons, etc. via the Web Installer
327 Once the installer has completed, you can import and index MARC records from the
328 command line thusly (Note: you can also use the 'Stage MARC records for import' from
329 the Tools area of Koha's Staff Client to import a batch of MARC records):
331 $ export KOHA_CONF=/usr/share/koha/etc/koha-conf.xml
332 (note: use the correct path to your koha-conf.xml)
335 Bibliographic data in MARC21 format
336 $ misc/migration-tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -file /path/to/marc.iso2709
337 Authority data in MARC21 format
338 $ misc/migration-tools/bulkauthimport.pl -file /path/to/auth.iso2709
341 $ misc/migration-tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -w
343 Once the indexing has completed, you will be able to search for records in your
344 system. NOTE: if you don't run the Fast Index utility, and you have the index
345 updates scheduled as per 7.3 the indexing process will happen in the background,
346 but it will be orders of magnitude slower.
348 7.3 Schedule regular index updates
349 run rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z as a regular cron job, check misc/cronjobs/crontab.example
352 7.4 To enable public Z39.50/SRU servers, you'll need to edit your koha-conf.xml and
353 change the <listen> options to listen on a TCP port; then restart the zebra daemon.
357 If you are upgrading from a previous installation of Koha 3, you can
360 perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log /path/to/koha-install-log
