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 <URL> found on download.koha.org
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 Run shell script installing all necessary Debian packages, MySQL Server,
61 Zebra and all Debian packaged Perl module required by Koha:
63 $ sudo install_misc/apt-get-debian-lenny.sh
65 1.6 Install Perl dependencies that aren't packaged into Debian Lenny
68 Run the following command:
70 $ sudo cpan Algorithm::CheckDigits SMS::Send HTTP::OAI IPC::Cmd \\
71 Memoize::Memcached PDF::API2::Simple PDF::Table Storable Test::More \\
72 Locale::Currency::Format
74 Note: you may need to run CPAN initialization if you've not run cpan
77 /etc/perl/CPAN/Config.pm initialized.
79 CPAN is the world-wide archive of perl resources. It consists of about
80 100 sites that all replicate the same contents all around the globe.
81 Many countries have at least one CPAN site already. The resources
82 found on CPAN are easily accessible with the CPAN.pm module. If you
83 want to use CPAN.pm, you have to configure it properly.
85 If you do not want to enter a dialog now, you can answer 'no' to this
86 question and I'll try to autoconfigure. (Note: you can revisit this
87 dialog anytime later by typing 'o conf init' at the cpan prompt.)
89 Are you ready for manual configuration? [yes]
91 When the configuration is completed CPAN will install the Perl modules.
93 2. Configuration of dependencies
95 2.1 Update root MySQL password (if dselect didn't do it for you already)
97 $ sudo mysqladmin password <password>
99 2.2 Create the Koha database
101 Create the database and user with associated privileges:
103 $ mysqladmin -uroot -p<password> create <kohadatabasename>
104 $ mysql -uroot -p<password>
106 Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
107 Your MySQL connection id is 22
108 Server version: 5.0.51a-24 (Debian)
110 Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
112 mysql> grant all on <kohadatabasename>.* to '<kohadatabaseuser>'@'localhost' identified by '<kohadatabaseuserpassword>';
113 Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
115 mysql> flush privileges;
116 Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
120 2.3 Test your SAX Parser and correct where necessary
122 You must be sure you're using the XML::LibXML SAX parser, not Expat or
123 PurePerl, both of which have outstanding bugs with pre-composed characters.
124 You can test your SAX parser by running:
127 $ misc/sax_parser_print.pl
129 You should see something like::
131 XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser=HASH(0x81fe220)
133 If you're using PurePerl or Expat, you'll need to edit your
134 ini file, typically located at:
136 /etc/perl/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini
139 3. Run the Koha installer
147 4. Configure and start Apache
148 $ sudo ln -s /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha
149 (note that the path to koha-httpd.conf may be different depending on your
150 installation choices)
152 Add the following lines to /etc/apache2/ports.conf:
157 Run the following commands:
159 $ sudo a2enmod rewrite
161 $ sudo apache2ctl restart
163 Note: you may still see the usual Apache default site if your VirtualHost
164 configuration isn't correct. The command "sudo a2dissite default" may be a
165 quick fix, but may have side-effects. See the Apache HTTPD manual section on
166 virtual hosts for full instructions.
168 5. Configure and start Zebra
170 Note: it's recommended that you daemonize the Zebra process and add it to your
171 startup profile. For a non-production test/development installation, running
172 Zebra from the command line can be useful. Pick from the two available options
173 below, or roll your own :-)
175 Note: it's also recommended that you create a Koha system user, which you will
176 have specified during the install process. Alternatively, Zebra can be
177 configured to run as the root user.
179 Option 1: run the Zebra processes from the command line:
181 1.1 Zebra Search Server
183 This process send responses to search requests sent by Koha or
184 Z39.50/SRU/SRW clients.
186 $ sudo -u ${KOHA_USER} zebrasrv -f /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml
187 (note that the path to koha-conf.xml may be different depending on your
188 installation choices)
190 Note: the user you run Zebra as will be the only user with write permission
191 on the Zebra index; in development mode, you may wish to use your
196 Added/updated/deleted records in Koha MySQL database must be indexed
197 into Zebra. A specific script must be launched each time a bibliographic
198 or an authority record is edited.
200 $ sudo -u ${KOHA_USER} misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra -z -b -a
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 automatically Zebra processes as daemons:
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.
228 6. Run the Web Installer, populate the database, initial configuration of settings
230 Point your browser to http://<servername>:8080/
232 It should redirect you to the Web Installer where you can continue the setup.
233 You can install the sample data for libraries, patrons, etc. via the Web Installer
237 Once the installer has completed, you can import and index MARC records from the
238 command line thusly (Note: you can also use the 'Stage MARC records for import' from
239 the Tools area of Koha's Staff Client to import a batch of MARC records):
241 $ export KOHA_CONF=/usr/share/koha/etc/koha-conf.xml
242 (note: use the correct path to your koha-conf.xml)
246 Bibliographic data in MARC21 format
248 $ misc/migration-tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -file /path/to/marc.iso2709
250 Authority data in MARC21 format
252 $ misc/migration-tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -a -file /path/to/auth.iso2709
255 $ misc/migration-tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -w
257 Once the indexing has completed, you will be able to search for records in your
258 system. NOTE: if you don't run the Fast Index utility, and you have the index
259 updates scheduled as per 7.3 the indexing process will happen in the background,
260 but it will be orders of magnitude slower.
262 7.3 Schedule regular index updates
263 run rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z as a regular cron job,
264 check misc/cronjobs/crontab.example for usage examples
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
