INSTALLATION
============
-Koha 3 comes with a new installer, based on MakeMaker, the tool that
-is usually used to install CPAN modules. This means that if you know
-how to customise CPAN-installed modules, the same things should work
-for you with Koha. If not, don't worry. If you want to customise the
-installation more than described below, run "man ExtUtils::MakeMaker"
-
-You need to have a server running 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),
-MySQL 5 or PostgreSQL 8.2.5, Zebra
+You need to have a server running Perl 5.10 or later, MySQL 5, Zebra
2.0.22 or greater and a webserver (preferably Apache2) before installing
Koha.
-
+
MySQL 5: Create a database called 'koha,' owned by 'kohaadmin'
user, with a password set. Note: kohaadmin must have at least the
following privileges: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP,
ALTER, and LOCK TABLES.
-PostgreSQL 8.2.5: Create a database called 'koha,' owned by 'kohaadmin'
-user, with a password set. Note: kohaadmin must be a superuser. You
-must also add plpgsql to the koha database.
-
Default installation instructions:
1. perl Makefile.PL
- (you will be prompted to answer a number of questions)
+ (you will be prompted to answer a number of questions and you will
+ need to install some Perl dependencies)
+ WARNING:
+
+ 1.1 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
+
+ 1.2. Optional foreign language installation:
+ If you would like more languages and not only English,
+ cd misc/translator
+ perl translate install fr-FR # or use your preferred language codes
+
2. make
-3.(optional) make test
+3.(optional) make test
4. sudo make install
5. sudo ln -s /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha
(note that the path to koha-httpd.conf may be different depending on your
installation choices)
-6. sudo a2enmod rewrite
+6. sudo a2enmod rewrite deflate
7. sudo a2ensite koha && /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
8. sudo zebrasrv -f /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml
(note that you will want to run Zebra in daemon mode for a production
system)
9. Browse to http://servername:8080/ and answer the questions
+10. Optionally add a robots.txt file. See README.robots for details
OR if you want to install all dependencies from CPAN and are root, you can
replace steps 1-3 with "perl install-CPAN.pl" but this is non-standard and
$ perldoc rewrite-config.PL

UPGRADE
=======
-If you are upgrading from a previous installation of Koha 3, you can
+If you are running in another language other than english, please
+switch to english before doing the upgrade, the templating system has
+changed and the templates will need to be regenerated.
+Once you have upgraded, please regenerate your templates in your
+chosen languages.
+
+If you are upgrading from a previous installation of Koha 3.x, you can
use the following:
+ ./koha_perl_deps.pl -u -m # to identify new Perl dependencies
+
+Install any missing modules
+IMPORTANT: Koha 3.4.0 and greater uses Template::Toolkit, this must be installed
+before the webinstaller can run
+
+On debian/ubuntu
+ sudo apt-get install libtemplate-perl
+
+Other Linux/Unix platforms
+Use the packaged version or install from CPAN
+ cpan Template
+
perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log /path/to/koha-install-log
make
make test
sudo make upgrade
+Koha 3.4.x or later no longer stores items in biblio records.
+If you are upgrading from an older version ou will need to do the
+following two steps, they can take a long time (several hours) to
+complete for large databases
+
+ misc/maintenance/remove_items_from_biblioitems.pl --run
+ misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r
+
+WHAT NEXT?
+
+1. Running the Web Installer allows you to install sample data for libraries, patrons, etc.
+ but you may want to install additional data such as bibliographic and authorities.
+
+ 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)
+
+2. 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
+
+3. 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 index
+ updates scheduled as per 7.3 the indexing process will happen in the background,
+ but it will be orders of magnitude slower.
+
+4. Schedule regular index updates
+ run rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z as a regular cron job, check the 'misc/cronjobs/crontab.example' file for usage examples
+
+ You can also configure zebra-indexing as an background daemon, see http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Background_indexing_with_Zebra
+
+5. 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.
+
