Get the Code!

Many ways for the latest OpenACS Distribution, version oacs-5-5:

get the tarball:

Download from OpenACS.org: http://openacs.org/projects/openacs/download/, or
try the tarballs dynamically generated at: http://eye.openacs.org/viewrep/OpenACS (look at the bottom)

Unpack the OpenACS tarball. Usually something like this works:

tar xvf openacs-4.tar

or get the files via CVS: If you want to track fresh code developments inbetween releases, or you are an OpenACS core developer, you may want to install from CVS. This is identical to downloading a distribution, except that you get the files from CVS instead of the tarball. The following commands are used to obtain openacs 5.5 from CVS.

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.openacs.org:/cvsroot login
# press enter for password
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.openacs.org:/cvsroot checkout -r oacs-5-5 acs-core

For a single package, just use the same command with the package-key name, i.e. forums:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.openacs.org:/cvsroot checkout -r oacs-5-5 forums

In order to check out the full openacs tree of the leading edge developer version (HEAD), use

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.openacs.org:/cvsroot checkout openacs-4

Looking for README instructions or installers? View the OpenACS Installation instructions: openacs-system-install, otherwise continue by setting up the OpenACS distribution:

Set up the file system for one or more OpenACS sites

For Linux Standard Base compliance and ease of backup, all of the files in each OpenACS site are stored in a subdirectory of /var/lib/aolserver, one subdirectory (SERVERROOT) per site (see: openacs-reference-platform). The first time you install an OpenACS site on a server, you must create the parent directory and set its permissions:

While logged in as root:

mkdir -p /var/lib/aolserver
chgrp web /var/lib/aolserver
chmod 770 /var/lib/aolserver

Move the uncompressed code to SERVERROOT and rename the directory to $OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME:

mv openacs-4 /var/lib/aolserver/$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME
