16 Installation Instructions
17 =============================
19 All commands can be performed as a system user with sudo privileges,
20 as indicated or by running the command directly as root.
22 1. Prepare System and Install Dependencies
24 1.1 Install Ubuntu Jaunty via CD
26 See http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
28 1.2 Set up your locale
30 Your locale should be set to UTF-8, as should Apache2 and MySQL 5.
31 This step is VERY IMPORTANT for a UNICODE compliant system. Please
32 read over the following document carefully:
34 http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Encoding_and_Character_Sets_in_Koha
36 You can verify your system locale by typing the following command:
40 IMPORTANT: You _MUST_ follow all the steps outlined there for
41 Apache2, MySQL 5, etc. BEFORE you install Koha.
43 1.3 Install the Yaz and Zebra packages
45 Run the following command to update your system:
48 $ sudo apt-get install yaz idzebra-2.0 idzebra-2.0-doc
52 1.4.1 Option A: Download Koha via Git (optional)
54 $ sudo apt-get install git-core git-email
55 $ git clone git://git.koha-community.org/koha.git kohaclone
57 $ git checkout -b myinstall origin
59 Note: for more information about Git, please see the Koha Git Usage Guide:
61 http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Version_Control_Using_Git
63 1.4.2 Option B: Download Koha from http://download.koha-community.org
65 $ wget http://download.koha-community.org/koha-3.00.02.tar.gz
66 ( Note: use the latest stable version)
68 1.5 Install additional Ubuntu dependencies
70 IMPORTANT: You should only use CPAN for Perl dependencies which are NOT
71 available from the package maintainer. You have been warned!
73 Using the ubuntu.packages file included in the Koha source tree,
76 $ sudo dpkg --set-selections < install_misc/ubuntu.packages
78 Now start dselect (you may need to 'sudo apt-get install dselect'):
82 Choose [I]nstall and accept packages to be installed (hit return)
86 Choose [C]onfigure, [R]emove and [Q]uit until dselect has completed.
88 1.6 Install Perl dependencies that aren't packaged into Ubuntu Jaunty
91 Run the following command:
93 $ sudo cpan MARC::Crosswalk::DublinCore GD GD::Barcode::UPCE Email::Date \
94 HTML::Scrubber Algorithm::CheckDigits::M43_001 Biblio::EndnoteStyle \
95 Locale::Currency::Format
97 Note: you may need to run CPAN initialization if you've not run cpan
100 /etc/perl/CPAN/Config.pm initialized.
102 CPAN is the world-wide archive of perl resources. It consists of about
103 100 sites that all replicate the same contents all around the globe.
104 Many countries have at least one CPAN site already. The resources
105 found on CPAN are easily accessible with the CPAN.pm module. If you
106 want to use CPAN.pm, you have to configure it properly.
108 If you do not want to enter a dialog now, you can answer 'no' to this
109 question and I'll try to autoconfigure. (Note: you can revisit this
110 dialog anytime later by typing 'o conf init' at the cpan prompt.)
112 Are you ready for manual configuration? [yes]
114 When the configuration is completed CPAN will install the Perl modules.
116 2. Configuration of dependencies
118 2.1 Update root MySQL password (if dselect didn't do it for you already)
120 $ sudo mysqladmin password <password>
122 2.2 Create the Koha database
124 Create the database and user with associated privileges:
126 $ mysqladmin -uroot -p<password> create <kohadatabasename>
127 $ mysql -uroot -p<password>
129 Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
130 Your MySQL connection id is 22
131 Server version: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch3-log Debian etch distribution
133 Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
135 mysql> grant all on <kohadatabasename>.* to '<kohadatabaseuser>'@'localhost' identified by '<kohadatabaseuserpassword>';
136 Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
138 mysql> flush privileges;
139 Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
143 2.3 Test your SAX Parser and correct where necessary
145 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:
148 $ misc/sax_parser_print.pl
150 You should see something like::
152 XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser=HASH(0x81fe220)
154 If you're using PurePerl or Expat, you'll need to edit your
155 ini file, typically located at:
157 /etc/perl/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini
159 You will need to move the entire section for '[XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser]' to the bottom of the ini file.
161 2.4 Install DBD::mysql Perl module
163 In order to handle UTF-8 correctly, Koha requires at least version 4.004
164 of the DBD::mysql Perl module. However, Debian Etch has a stable package
165 only for version 3.0008, so it is necessary to install the module from CPAN.
166 DBD::mysql's test suite needs to use a MySQL 'test' DB which doesn't exist
167 anymore. So there are two options to install DBD::mysql:
169 (1) install without test suite,
170 (2) install with test suite requiring a test MySQL DB creation.
172 2.4.1 Install without test suite
174 Force install DBD::mysql:
177 cpan> force install DBD::mysql
179 2.4.2 Create test database in order to install DBD::mysql
181 Because of DBD::mysql's test suite, it is necessary to temporarily create a
182 test database and user:
184 $ mysql -uroot -p<password>
186 Create the database and user with associated privileges:
188 Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
189 Your MySQL connection id is 22
190 Server version: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch3-log Debian etch distribution
192 Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
194 mysql> create database test;
195 Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
197 mysql> grant all on test.* to 'test'@'localhost' identified by 'test';
198 Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
199 (test database, user, and password can be different if need be)
201 mysql> flush privileges;
202 Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
206 Next install DBD::mysql:
210 cpan> o conf makepl_arg
211 (get current value of this CPAN parameter)
213 cpan> o conf makepl_arg "--testdb=test --testuser=test --testpass=test"
215 cpan> install DBD::mysql
217 cpan> o conf makepl_arg ''
221 cpan> o conf makepl_arg '<old setting>'
223 (restore this setting so as to not interfere with future CPAN installs).
226 Finally, remove the test database:
228 $ mysql -uroot -p<password>
230 mysql> drop database test;
231 Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
236 3. Run the Koha installer
244 4. Configure and start Apache
245 $ sudo ln -s /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha
246 (note that the path to koha-httpd.conf may be different depending on your
247 installation choices)
249 Add the following lines to /etc/apache2/ports.conf:
254 If not running named virtual hosts (The default koha installation does not use named virtual hosts.), comment out the following line:
258 Run the following commands:
260 $ sudo a2enmod rewrite deflate
262 $ sudo apache2ctl restart
264 Note: you may still see the usual Apache default site if your VirtualHost
265 configuration isn't correct. The command "sudo a2dissite default" may be a
266 quick fix, but may have side-effects. See the Apache HTTPD manual section on
267 virtual hosts for full instructions.
269 5. Configure and start Zebra
271 Note: it's recommended that you daemonize the Zebra process and add it to your
272 startup profile. For a non-production test/development installation, running
273 Zebra from the command line can be useful. Pick from the two available options
274 below, or roll your own :-)
276 Note: it's also recommended that you create a Koha system user, which you will
277 have specified during the install process. Alternatively, Zebra can be
278 configured to run as the root user.
284 Option 1: run the Zebra processes from the command line:
286 1.1 Zebra Search Server
288 This process send responses to search requests sent by Koha or
289 Z39.50/SRU/SRW clients.
291 $ sudo -u ${KOHA_USER} zebrasrv -f /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml
292 (note that the path to koha-conf.xml may be different depending on your
293 installation choices)
295 Note: the user you run Zebra as will be the only user with write permission
296 on the Zebra index; in development mode, you may wish to use your
301 Added/updated/deleted records in Koha MySQL database must be indexed
302 into Zebra. A specific script must be launched each time a bibliographic
303 or an authority record is edited.
305 $ sudo -u ${KOHA_USER} misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra -z -b -a
306 NOTE: This script should be run as the kohauser (the default is 'koha').
308 Option 2: run the Zebra process as a daemon, and add to startup process:
310 Note that references to $SCRIPT_DIR refer to the directory where
311 Koha's command-line scripts are installed, e.g., /usr/share/koha/bin.
313 1.1 Zebra Search Server
315 $ sudo ln -s ${SCRIPT_DIR}/koha-zebra-ctl.sh /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon
316 (Note: ${SCRIPT_DIR} is /usr/share/koha/bin/ by default in a standard install)
317 $ sudo update-rc.d koha-zebra-daemon defaults
318 ( Note: see man chkconfig(8) on other distros )
320 $ sudo ${SCRIPT_DIR}/koha-zebra-ctl.sh start
324 Add an entry in Koha user crontab to scheduled added/updated/deleted records
325 indexing by Zebra with this command:
327 <path/to/koha>/misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra -z -b -a
329 See check misc/cronjobs/crontab.example for usage examples.
330 NOTE: This job should be setup under the kohauser (the default is 'koha').
332 6. Run the Web Installer, populate the database, initial configuration of settings
334 Point your browser to http://<servername>:8080/
336 It should redirect you to the Web Installer where you can continue the setup.
337 You can install the sample data for libraries, patrons, etc. via the Web Installer
341 Once the installer has completed, you can import and index MARC records from the
342 command line thusly (Note: you can also use the 'Stage MARC records for import' from
343 the Tools area of Koha's Staff Client to import a batch of MARC records):
345 $ export KOHA_CONF=/usr/share/koha/etc/koha-conf.xml
346 (note: use the correct path to your koha-conf.xml)
349 Bibliographic data in MARC21 format
350 $ misc/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -file /path/to/marc.iso2709
351 Authority data in MARC21 format
352 $ misc/migration_tools/bulkauthimport.pl -file /path/to/auth.iso2709
355 $ misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -w
357 Once the indexing has completed, you will be able to search for records in your system.
358 NOTE: This script should be run as the kohauser (the default is 'koha').
360 7.3 Schedule regular index updates
362 You need to run rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z as a regular cron job in orde to pick up new bibs
363 and items as you add them. Check misc/cronjobs/crontab.example for usage examples. See 7.0 above.
364 NOTE: This job should be setup under the kohauser (the default is 'koha').
366 7.4 To enable public Z39.50/SRU servers, you'll need to edit your koha-conf.xml and
367 change the <listen> options to listen on a TCP port; then restart the zebra daemon.
371 If you are running in another language other than english, please
372 switch to english before doing the upgrade, the templating system has
373 changed and the templates will need to be regenerated.
374 Once you have upgraded, please regenerate your templates in your
377 If you are upgrading from a previous installation of Koha 3.x, you can
380 ./koha_perl_deps.pl -u -m # to identify new Perl dependencies
382 Install any missing modules
383 IMPORTANT: Koha 3.6.x uses Template::Toolkit, this must be installed
384 before the webinstaller can run
386 sudo apt-get install libtemplate-perl
388 perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log /path/to/koha-install-log
393 Koha 3.4.x or later no longer stores items in biblio records so
394 if you are upgrading from an older version as part of the
395 upgrade you will need to do the following two steps, they can take a
396 long time (several hours) to complete for large databases
398 misc/maintenance/remove_items_from_biblioitems.pl --run
399 misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r
