Installing the Software Stack
Installing Koha's software stack
In this final section we demonstrate the installation steps on Debian and openSUSE.
Installing packages using the package
manager
We will install most packages using the package manager. Having installed Git in
an earlier section, readers are already familiar with the commands used to install
individual packages; in this section, we also look at ways of speeding up the process.
Installing packages from the Linux prompt
You can install the packages one -by -one like this:
koha @li190 -245: -/kohaclone> sudo apt -get install apache2
On openSuSE, the command would look like this:
koha @1i190 -245: -/kohaclone> sudo yast -i apache2
Or you can install multiple packages in one statement:
koha @1i190 -245:. -/kohaclone> sudo apt -get install apache2 mysql make gcc
Or:
koha @1i190 -245: -/kohaclone> sudo yast -i apache2 mysql make gcc
Installing packages using shell scripts
To speed up the installation, you can write a shell script file that looks like this:
yast -i apache2 \
mysql \
make \
gcc \
yaz \
libyaz \
libyaz -devel \
perl -Algorithm -CheckDigits
perl -Biblio -EndnoteStyle \
And execute this script using the
sh command:
koha @1i190 -245: -> sudo sh yast- opensuse -perl.sh
