Installation Instructions
=============================
All commands can be performed as a system user with sudo privileges,
as indicated or by running the command directly as root.
+1. Prepare System and Install Dependencies
+
+1.1 Install Debian Etch via Businesscard CD
+
+See http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/debian-installer/
+
+1.2 Set up your locale
+
Your locale should be set to UTF-8, as should Apache2 and MySQL 5.
This step is VERY IMPORTANT for a UNICODE compliant system. Please
read over the following document carefully:

-1. Prepare System and Install Dependencies
-
-1.1 Install Debian Etch via Businesscard CD
-
-See http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
+IMPORTANT: You _MUST_ follow all the steps outlined there for
+ Apache2, MySQL 5, etc. BEFORE you install Koha.
-1.2 Set up apt sources for Git, Yaz and Zebra packages
+1.3 Set up apt sources for Git, Yaz and Zebra packages
Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file and add the following:
Backports packages are signed with a key you can install as follows:
+ $ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install debian-backports-keyring
The Index Data packages are signed with a key you can install as follows:
$ sudo apt-get -t etch-backports install git-core git-email
$ sudo apt-get install yaz idzebra-2.0 idzebra-2.0-doc
-1.3 Get Koha
+1.4 Get Koha
-1.3.1 Option A: Download Koha via Git (optional)
+1.4.1 Option A: Download Koha via Git (optional)
$ git clone git://git.koha.org/pub/scm/koha.git kohaclone
$ cd kohaclone
Note: for more information about Git, please see the Koha Git Usage Guide:
- http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:git_usage
+ http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:git_usage
-1.3.2 Option B: Download Koha from koha.org
+1.4.2 Option B: Download Koha from http://download.koha.org
-1.4 Install additional Debian dependencies
+ $ wget http://download.koha.org/koha-3.00.00-beta.tar.gz
+ ( Note: use the latest stable version)
-IMPORTANT: You should only use CPAN for Perl dependencies which are NOT available from the package maintainer.
- You have been warned!
+1.5 Install additional Debian dependencies
+
+IMPORTANT: You should only use CPAN for Perl dependencies which are NOT
+ available from the package maintainer. You have been warned!
Using the debian.packages file included in the Koha source tree,
run the following:
Choose [C]onfigure, [R]emove and [Q]uit until dselect has completed.
-1.5 Install Perl dependencies that aren't packaged into Debian Etch
+1.6 Install Perl dependencies that aren't packaged into Debian Etch
sources
Run the following command:
Create the database and user with associated privileges:
- $ mysqladmin -uroot -p<password> create database <kohadatabasename>
+ $ mysqladmin -uroot -p<password> create <kohadatabasename>
$ mysql -uroot -p<password>
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
mysql> quit
-2.3 Create test database in order to install DBD::mysql
+2.3 Test your SAX Parser and correct where necessary
+
+ 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:
+
+ $ cd koha
+ $ misc/sax_parser_print.pl
+
+ You should see something like::
+
+ XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser=HASH(0x81fe220)
+
+ If you're using PurePerl or Expat, you'll need to edit your
+ ini file, typically located at:
+
+ /etc/perl/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini
+
+2.4 Install DBD::mysql Perl module
In order to handle UTF-8 correctly, Koha requires at least version 4.004
-of the DBD::mysql Perl module. However, Debian Etch has a stable package
+of the DBD::mysql Perl module. However, Debian Etch has a stable package
only for version 3.0008, so it is necessary to install the module from CPAN.
+DBD::mysql's test suite needs to use a MySQL 'test' DB which doesn't exist
+anymore. So there are two options to install DBD::mysql:
+
+ (1) install without test suite,
+ (2) install with test suite requiring a test MySQL DB creation.
+
+2.4.1 Install without test suite
+
+Force install DBD::mysql:
+
+ $ sudo cpan
+ cpan> force install DBD::mysql
+
+2.4.2 Create test database in order to install DBD::mysql
+
Because of DBD::mysql's test suite, it is necessary to temporarily create a
test database and user:
cpan> install DBD::mysql
cpan> o conf makepl_arg ''
- (clear this setting to not interface with future CPAN installs).
+
+ OR
+
+ cpan> o conf makepl_arg '<old setting>'
+
+ (restore this setting so as to not interfere with future CPAN installs).
Finally, remove the test database:
Point your browser to http://<servername>:8080/
- It should redirect you to the Web installer where you can continue the setup.
+ It should redirect you to the Web Installer where you can continue the setup.
+ You can install the sample data for libraries, patrons, etc. via the Web Installer
+
+7. What next?
+
+ Once the installer has completed, you can import and index MARC records from the
+ command line thusly (Note: you can also use the 'Stage MARC records for import' from
+ the Tools area of Koha's Staff Client to import a batch of MARC records):
+
+ $ export KOHA_CONF=/usr/share/koha/etc/koha-conf.xml
+ (note: use the correct path to your koha-conf.xml)
+
+7.1 Import:
+ $ misc/migration-tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -file /path/to/marc.iso2709
+
+7.2 Fast Index:
+ $ misc/migration-tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -w
+
+ Once the indexing has completed, you will be able to search for records in your
+ system. NOTE: if you don't run the Fast Index utility, and you have the zebraqueue
+ daemon running, the indexin process will happen in the background, but it will be
+ orders of magnitude slower.
+
+ To enable the SRU servers, you'll need to edit your koha-conf.xml and change the
+ <listen> options to listen on a TCP port; then restart the zebra daemon.
+
+UPGRADE
+=======
+If you are upgrading from a previous installation of Koha 3, you can
+use the following:
+
+ perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log /path/to/koha-install-log
+ make
+ make test
+ sudo make upgrade
