Installation Instructions
=============================
1. Prepare System and Install Dependencies
-1.1 Install Debian Etch via Businesscard CD
-
-See http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/debian-installer/
-
-WARNING: use Perl 5.8 (a library Koha depends on,
-MARC::File::XML may not work with Perl 5.10, see:
-http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2309),
-
-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:
+1.1 Install Debian Lenny via Businesscard CD
-http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=encodingscratchpad
+See http://www.debian.org/releases/lenny/debian-installer/
-IMPORTANT: You _MUST_ follow all the steps outlined there for
- Apache2, MySQL 5, etc. BEFORE you install Koha.
-
-1.3 Set up apt sources for Git, Yaz and Zebra packages
+1.3 Set up Indexdata apt sources for Yaz and Zebra packages
Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file and add the following:
# Index Data
- deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian etch main
- deb-src http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian etch main
-
- # Backports
- deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib non-free
-
-Backports packages are signed with a key you can install as follows:
-
- $ sudo apt-get update
- $ sudo apt-get install debian-backports-keyring
+ deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian lenny main
+ deb-src http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian lenny main
The Index Data packages are signed with a key you can install as follows:
$ wget http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/indexdata.asc
$ sudo apt-key add indexdata.asc
-Run the following command to update your system:
-
- $ sudo apt-get update
- $ sudo apt-get -t etch-backports install git-core git-email
- $ sudo apt-get install yaz idzebra-2.0 idzebra-2.0-doc
-
1.4 Get Koha
1.4.1 Option A: Download Koha via Git (optional)
- $ git clone git://git.koha.org/pub/scm/koha.git kohaclone
+ $ sudo apt-get install git-core git-email
+ $ git clone git://git.koha-community.org/pub/scm/koha.git kohaclone
$ cd kohaclone
$ git checkout -b myinstall origin
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-community.org/wiki/Version_Control_Using_Git
+
+1.4.2 Option B: Download Koha from http://download.koha-community.org
-1.4.2 Option B: Download Koha from http://download.koha.org
+Find the latest Koha stable version on http://download.koha-community.org
+and get it:
- $ wget http://download.koha.org/koha-3.00.00-beta.tar.gz
- ( Note: use the latest stable version)
+ $ wget <URL> found on download.koha-community.org
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:
-
- $ sudo dpkg --set-selections < install_misc/debian.packages
-
-Now start dselect:
-
- $ sudo dselect
+Run shell script installing all necessary Debian packages, MySQL Server,
+Zebra and all Debian packaged Perl module required by Koha:
-Choose [I]nstall and accept packages to be installed (hit return)
+ $ sudo install_misc/apt-get-debian-lenny.sh
-(may take a while)
-
-Choose [C]onfigure, [R]emove and [Q]uit until dselect has completed.
-
-1.6 Install Perl dependencies that aren't packaged into Debian Etch
+1.6 Install Perl dependencies that aren't packaged into Debian Lenny
sources
Run the following command:
- $ sudo cpan MARC::Record Class::Accessor MARC::Charset MARC::File::XML \
- Net::Z3950::ZOOM HTML::Template::Pro MARC::Crosswalk::DublinCore \
- PDF::Reuse PDF::Reuse::Barcode Data::ICal GD::Barcode::UPCE \
- XML::RSS Algorithm::CheckDigits::M43_001 Biblio::EndnoteStyle POE \
- Schedule::At DBD::SQLite GD SMS::Send HTTP::OAI IPC::Cmd Locale::Currency::Format
-
-
- WARNINGS:
- 1.6.1 A Perl library Koha depends on, MARC::File::XML may not work with Perl
- 5.10, see: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2309),
-
- 1.6.2 Recent versions of CGI::Session have caused some issues for users;
- as of this release date, we suggest downloading the CGI::Session::Serialize::yaml
- tarball direct from CPAN and install it directly rather than using the cpan command
-
- 1.6.3 There is a known but benign error in the test case for Barcode::Code128,
- which is required by PDF::Reuse::Barcode. If this module is not installed,
- you can do a forced installation of Barcode::Code128.
+ $ sudo cpan Algorithm::CheckDigits SMS::Send HTTP::OAI IPC::Cmd \\
+ Memoize::Memcached PDF::API2::Simple PDF::Table Storable Test::More \\
+ Locale::Currency::Format
Note: you may need to run CPAN initialization if you've not run cpan
before:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 22
- Server version: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch3-log Debian etch distribution
+ Server version: 5.0.51a-24 (Debian)
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
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:
+You must be sure you're using the XML::LibXML SAX parser, not Expat or

+You can test your SAX parser by running:
$ cd koha
$ misc/sax_parser_print.pl
/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
-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:
-
- $ mysql -uroot -p<password>
-
- Create the database and user with associated privileges:
-
- Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
- Your MySQL connection id is 22
- Server version: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch3-log Debian etch distribution
-
- Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
-
- mysql> create database test;
- Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
-
- mysql> grant all on test.* to 'test'@'localhost' identified by 'test';
- Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
- (test database, user, and password can be different if need be)
-
- mysql> flush privileges;
- Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
-
- mysql> quit
-
-Next install DBD::mysql:
-
- $ sudo cpan
-
- cpan> o conf makepl_arg
- (get current value of this CPAN parameter)
-
- cpan> o conf makepl_arg "--testdb=test --testuser=test --testpass=test"
-
- cpan> install DBD::mysql
-
- cpan> o conf makepl_arg ''
-
- 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:
-
- $ mysql -uroot -p<password>
-
- mysql> drop database test;
- Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
-
- mysql> exit
- Bye
3. Run the Koha installer
( answer questions )
$ make
$ make test
- $ sudo make install #If doing a -dev install, skip the sudo!
+ $ sudo make install
4. Configure and start Apache
$ sudo ln -s /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha
Add the following lines to /etc/apache2/ports.conf:
Listen 80
- Listen 8080
-
-(Note: It may be productive to use different DNS entries and NamedVirtualHosts
-directives in Apache to separate the staff and OPAC clients, to eliminate a
-cross-client authentication nuisance, but it will work fine like this.)
+ Listen 8080
Run the following commands:
Note: it's recommended that you daemonize the Zebra process and add it to your
startup profile. For a non-production test/development installation, running
-Zebra from the command line can be useful. Otherwise you will want zebrasrv
-running when Apache/Koha is.
+Zebra from the command line can be useful. Pick from the two available options
+below, or roll your own :-)
Note: it's also recommended that you create a Koha system user, which you will
have specified during the install process. Alternatively, Zebra can be
Option 1: run the Zebra processes from the command line:
- Zebra Server:
+1.1 Zebra Search Server
+
+This process send responses to search requests sent by Koha or
+Z39.50/SRU/SRW clients.
+
$ sudo -u ${KOHA_USER} zebrasrv -f /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml
(note that the path to koha-conf.xml may be different depending on your
installation choices)
- Note: the user you run Zebra as will be the only user with write permission
- on the Zebra index; in development mode, you may wish to use your system
- user.
+Note: the user you run Zebra as will be the only user with write permission
+ on the Zebra index; in development mode, you may wish to use your
+ system user.
+
+1.2 Zebra Indexer
- Zebraqueue Daemon (not recommended -- use rebuild_zebra in crontab instead):
- $ sudo -u ${KOHA_USER} misc/bin/zebraqueue_daemon.pl
+Added/updated/deleted records in Koha MySQL database must be indexed
+into Zebra. A specific script must be launched each time a bibliographic
+or an authority record is edited.
- Note: if you are running in this mode, you may wish to defer starting the
- zebraqueue until you've run the web installer (see below).
+ $ sudo -u ${KOHA_USER} misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra -z -b -a
+ NOTE: This script should be run as the kohauser (the default is 'koha').
-Option 2: run the Zebra processes as daemons, and add to startup process:
+Option 2: run automatically Zebra process as a daemon:
Note that references to $SCRIPT_DIR refer to the directory where
Koha's command-line scripts are installed, e.g., /usr/share/koha/bin.
- Zebra Server:
+1.1 Zebra Search Server
+
$ sudo ln -s ${SCRIPT_DIR}/koha-zebra-ctl.sh /etc/init.d/koha-zebra-daemon
(Note: ${SCRIPT_DIR} is /usr/share/koha/bin/ by default in a standard install)
$ sudo update-rc.d koha-zebra-daemon defaults
( Note: see man chkconfig(8) on other distros )
-
+
$ sudo ${SCRIPT_DIR}/koha-zebra-ctl.sh start
- Zebraqueue Daemon (not recommended -- use rebuild_zebra in crontab instead):
- $ sudo ln -s ${SCRIPT_DIR}/koha-zebraqueue-ctl.sh /etc/init.d/koha-zebraqueue-daemon
- $ sudo update-rc.d koha-zebraqueue-daemon defaults
- ( Note: see man chkconfig(8) on other distros )
+1.2 Zebra Indexer
+
+Add an entry in Koha user crontab to scheduled added/updated/deleted records
+indexing by Zebra with this command:
+
+ <path/to/koha>/misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra -z -b -a
- $ sudo ${SCRIPT_DIR}/koha-zebraqueue-ctl.sh start
+See check misc/cronjobs/crontab.example for usage examples.
+NOTE: This job should be setup under the kohauser (the default is 'koha').
6. Run the Web Installer, populate the database, initial configuration of settings
$ export KOHA_CONF=/usr/share/koha/etc/koha-conf.xml
(note: use the correct path to your koha-conf.xml)
-7.0 Schedule crontab jobs
- Do you want Koha to:
- send mail?
- automatically index added records?
- generate overdue or advance notices?
- mark items lost after they are long overdue?
- assess fines?
+7.1 Import:
- All these and other regularly scheduled background tasks are handled by crontab.
- You need to examine the example crontab file, edit a copy to your liking, and schedule it.
+Bibliographic data in MARC21 format
- $ crontab -l # just check if you have any other jobs already scheduled
- $ cp ./misc/cronjobs/crontab.example my_crontab
- $ vi my_crontab # select jobs or adjust times.
- $ # If you had already scheduled lines, add them at the bottom.
- $ crontab my_crontab # This overwrites your scheduled jobs with the new ones.
+ $ misc/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -file /path/to/marc.iso2709
- If you want to check to confirm, you can run crontab -l again.
+Authority data in MARC21 format
-7.1 Import:
- Bibliographic data in MARC21 format
- $ misc/migration-tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -file /path/to/marc.iso2709
- Authority data in MARC21 format
- $ misc/migration-tools/bulkauthimport.pl -file /path/to/auth.iso2709
+ $ misc/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -a -file /path/to/auth.iso2709
7.2 Fast Index:
- $ misc/migration-tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -w
+ $ 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 index
- updates scheduled as per 7.3 the indexing process will happen in the background,
- but it will be orders of magnitude slower.
+ Once the indexing has completed, you will be able to search for records in your system.
+ NOTE: This script should be run as the kohauser (the default is 'koha').
7.3 Schedule regular index updates
- run rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z as a regular cron job, check misc/cronjobs/crontab.example
- for usage examples. Do not schedule rebuild_zebra AND run zebraqueue. Pick one or the other.
- See 7.0 above.
-
+ You need to run rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z as a regular cron job in orde to pick up new bibs
+ and items as you add them. Check misc/cronjobs/crontab.example for usage examples. See 7.0 above.
+ NOTE: This job should be setup under the kohauser (the default is 'koha').
+
7.4 To enable public Z39.50/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.
