Installation on Ubuntu 12.04

Installation instructions on how to set up everything required for development on Atlas of Living Australia on Ubuntu 12.04.

Enable the add-apt-repository command

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

Install grails

This installs the latest version (2.0.4) by default.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:groovy-dev/grails
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grails

Install groovy-2.0.3 (required by ALA)

sudo apt-get install grails-2.0.3
sudo update-alternatives --config grails

Select 2.0.3 as the active version.

Install groovy

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:groovy-dev/groovy
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install groovy-2.0

Install tomcat

sudo apt-get install tomcat7

Install subversion

sudo apt-get install subversion

Obtain ALA Groovy template (If not cloning from Git Repo)

svn co http://ala.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/getstarted viz-ala

Remove SVN fluff (If not cloning from Git Repo)

cd viz-ala
find . -type d -name .svn -exec rm -r {} \;

For some reason, tomcat spawns itself after installing - kill it (it runs on port 8080 - the default port that grails runs on).

sudo pkill tomcat7

Run the web app (on port 8080)

grails run-app

To specify another port

grails run-app -Dgrails.server.port.http=<another port>
