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, MySQL 5 or PostgreSQL 8.2.5, Zebra

2.0.22 or greater and a webserver (preferably Apache2) before installing
Koha.
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. NOTE: PostgreSQL support in
-Koha is experimental and should not be attempted for production systems
-without a heavy investment in testing.

+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.
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,
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 misc/cronjobs/crontab.example
- for usage examples
+ 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.
