This quick-and-dirty guide is intended for more experienced (or very impatient) users.
More detailed instructions can be found here.

1. Installation requirements

FreeBSD (6.2, 5.5 or 7-CURRENT) with updated ports tree
and NOT yet installed ports databases/postgresql82-server, www/openacs or www/openacs-dotlrn

2. Installing OpenACS

 Enter the following shell commands:

# cd /usr/ports/databases/postgresql82-server
# make install clean
# echo 'postgresql_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf.local

# cd /usr/ports/www/openacs
# make install clean
# echo 'openacs_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf.local

# /usr/local/share/doc/openacs/adjust_pgsql_conf.sh
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql start
# /usr/local/share/doc/openacs/create_sampledb.sh
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openacs start

Now open  in your browser http://localhost:8000 and fill in all neccesary data, finalize installation. The openacs server goes down afterwards.

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openacs start

That's all! You local OpenACS installation is accesible under http://localhost:8000

3. Installing .LRN 

 Enter the following shell commands:

# cd /usr/ports/databases/postgresql82-server
# make install clean
# echo 'postgresql_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf.local

# cd /usr/ports/www/openacs-dotlrn
# make install clean
# echo 'dotlrn_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf.local

# /usr/local/share/doc/dotlrn/adjust_pgsql_conf.sh
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql start
# /usr/local/share/doc/dotlrn/create_sampledb.sh
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dotlrn start

Now open  in your browser http://localhost:8000 and fill in all neccesary data, finalize installation. The .LRN server goes down afterwards.

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dotlrn start

That's all! You local .LRN installation is accesible under http://localhost:8000
