-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.
-
-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. NOTE: PostgreSQL support in
-Koha is experimental and should not be attempted for production systems
-without a heavy investment in testing.
-
-Default installation instructions:
-
-1. perl Makefile.PL
- (you will be prompted to answer a number of questions and you will
- need to install some Perl dependencies)
- WARNING:
- 1.1 A Perl library Koha depends on, MARC::File::XML may not work with Perl
- 5.10, see: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2309),
-
- 1.2 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
-
-2. make
-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
-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
-may not be safe. Nevertheless, it's pretty cool when it works.
-
-The defaults will install Koha to places that follow relevant standards,
-such as the File Hierarchy Standard. If you want to install Koha to a
-different directory like /opt/koha, then replace step 1 with (for example):
-
-1. perl Makefile.PL INTRANET_CGI_DIR=/www/cgi-bin
-
-You can change most of the defaults in a similar way, such as DB_HOST.
-For full instructions on how to override the default settings, run
-
-$ perldoc rewrite-config.PL
-
-
-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
-
-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,
- 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
-
-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.
