Install

The following instructions will help you to install the Rails part of LinuxFr.org on a Debian box.

1. First install the Debian packages:

   aptitude install ruby1.9.1-full

   aptitude install mysql-server mysql-client libmysql++-dev

   aptitude install build-essential libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev

   aptitude install imagemagick hunspell hunspell-fr

2. Install some gems:

   gem install bundler rake

   (could be gem1.9.1 instead of gem, installation should be in /var/lib/gems/1.9.1 by default)

3. Configure the database:

   mysql -p -u root

   > CREATE DATABASE linuxfr_rails; > GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON linuxfr_rails.* TO "linuxfr_rails"@"localhost"; > QUIT; (return to user)

4. Install and start redis:

   $ wget "http://redis.googlecode.com/files/redis-2.2.1.tar.gz" $ tar xzf redis-2.2.1.tar.gz $ cd redis-2.2.1 $ make (optional, takes about ten minutes, $ make test ) $ src/redis-server redis.conf

5. Clone the repository, configure and install gems:

   $ git clone git://github.com/nono/linuxfr.org.git $ cd linuxfr.org $ cp config/database.yml{.sample,} $ cp config/secret.yml{.sample,} (become root)

   bundle install

   (probably /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/bin/bundle if not in your PATH) (return to user) $ rake db:setup (probably /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/bin/rake if not in your PATH)

6. Let's run it:

   $ bundle exec rails server thin (probably /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/bin/bundle if not in your PATH) $ firefox http://127.0.0.1:3000/ (did you mean iceweasel?)
