+1. Prepare System and Install Dependencies
+
+1.1 Install Debian Etch via Businesscard CD
+
+See http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/debian-installer/

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:

+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:
$ sudo apt-get -t etch-backports install git-core git-email
$ sudo apt-get install yaz idzebra-2.0 idzebra-2.0-doc

+1.4.1 Option A: Download Koha via Git (optional)
$ git clone git://git.koha.org/pub/scm/koha.git kohaclone
$ cd kohaclone

+1.4.2 Option B: Download Koha from http://download.koha.org
+
+ $ wget http://download.koha.org/koha-3.XX.XX.XX.tar.gz

-1.4 Install additional Debian dependencies
+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!

Run the following command:
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::
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.
