Plone 5.1: Unified Installer

The Plone Unified Installer is a source-installation kit that installs Plone and its dependencies from source on most Unix-like platforms.

The kit includes Plone and Zope and will download components like Python if needed.

Python is installed in a way that will not change or interfere with your system Python.

Important: Back up your existing Plone site prior to running the installer or running buildout to update.

Features

• checks for needed dependencies
• choose between zeo and standalone install
• choose between user and root install
• create system user and group for running plone
• and more

For a full list of features, please check the documentation.

Installation

Download the Installer:

$ wget --no-check-certificate https://launchpad.net/plone/5.0/5.1.2/+download/Plone-5.1.2-UnifiedInstaller.tgz

Extract the downloaded file:

$ tar -xf Plone-5.1.2-UnifiedInstaller.tgz

Go the folder containing installer script:

$ cd Plone-5.1.2-UnifiedInstaller

Run script:

./install.sh $OPTION

If you run the installer with no option arguments, it will ask a series of questions about basic options.

For a full list of options, many of which are not available via the dialog questions, use:

./install.sh --help

Note:

For certain production install options you will have to run the installer with sudo or as root.

This is generally not necessary when building development or evaluation systems.
