OpenACS/.LRN for Debian

Logo


Packages of OpenACS  and .LRN  are now available for Debian GNU/Linux . We hope to facilitate the adoption by novices and the infrastructure deployment by professional users, both running Debian GNU/Linux  and its derivates. Our packaging activity explicitly targets Debian GNU/Linux  Lenny  and unstable . Important dependencies are co-maintained with the Debian Tcl/Tk Maintainers .

See also OpenACS for Ubuntu.


Getting started

Please, review the section on supported distributions first.  Currently, the core packages (openacs, dotlrn) are managed in a community repository and are not delivered by the distributions supported.  All required dependencies, however, are contained in these.  Note that we only target Debian GNU/Linux Debian GNU/Linux  Lenny  and unstable  and verify the availability and sanity of dependencies for this distribution!

Release packages for Debian Lenny and unstable ("sid")


  1. Modify your /etc/apt/sources.list to point to our community repository and update your package pool:

    Debian Lenny


    deb http://debian.adenu.ia.uned.es/apt lenny main


    Debian unstable


    deb http://debian.adenu.ia.uned.es/apt sid main
  2. Then run:


    apt-get update

  3. (optional) Provide for a PostgreSQL environment: If you don't have a PostgreSQL installation at hand, provide one. You do not need to care about setting up a concrete data base. This is automatically done by the openacs and dotlrn post-install instructions. For further PostgreSQL-related set-up issue, see ...


    apt-get install postgresql-8.3
    If you run a remote PostgreSQL instance, remember to allow for access of the PostgreSQL Administrator (postgres) and the openacs/dotlrn user from machine hosting your OpenACS/.LRN installation.

  4. Install the core packages and follow the on-screen instructions:


    # OpenACS
    apt-get install openacs
    ... or ...


    # .LRN
    apt-get install dotlrn
