[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Fixing OpenSRF install instructions
I don't think DIG has access to the OpenSRF install instructions. Would one of the OpenSRF developers be willing to add a few sentences to the OpenSRF install instructions so that the steps Ben describes below are clearly explained rather than implied? I have created an OpenSRF bug on LP to track this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/opensrf/+bug/1382038 Remington -- Remington Steed Electronic Resources Specialist Hekman Library, Calvin College http://library.calvin.edu/ -Original Message- From: open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org [mailto:open-ils- general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org] On Behalf Of Ben Shum Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2014 5:01 PM To: Evergreen Discussion Group Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Installation of Evergreen No rules to make target Hi Jack, So the install instruction assumes that you have downloaded and extracted the source file for OpenSRF. For example, under the OpenSRF 2.4 series, you have a link to the source .tar.gz file. You would download that to a given server, extract its contents out into a folder, and then go into that folder. From that folder, there is a path for src/extras/Makes.install that will get you through that first step. As a side note, I would recommend using Ubuntu Server Precise (12.04) rather than Trusty (14.04). There are some issues with the 14.04 distribution and Evergreen that we are still ironing out and you will have better experiences with 12.04 for the time being. Good luck, hope this gets you back on path. -- Ben On Wed, Oct 15, 2014 at 4:37 PM, Boulier, Jack jboul...@mticollege.edu wrote: I am attempting my first installation of evergreen 2.7.0.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Fixing OpenSRF install instructions
The instructions are at http://evergreen-ils.org/documentation/install/OpenSRF/README_2_4_0_alpha.html but you are right, grabbing the tarball is implied, and the opensrf user doesn't get created until step 6, which poses an issue. I lean towards thinking that should be step 1. My steps (because I already usually have an opensrf user) are usually: sudo su - opensrf cd /home/opensrf wget http://evergreen-ils.org/downloads/previews/opensrf-2.4.0-alpha.tar.gz tar xzf /home/opensrf/opensrf-2.4.0-alpha.tar.gz Then you can pick up with running step 2, after returning to the root user and performing a cd /home/opensrf/opensrf-2.4.0-alpha Michael Peters Senior Systems Analyst Emerald Data Networks, Inc.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Fixing OpenSRF install instructions
Technically speaking, the README is written from the perspective that the user who downloads the software is not always opensrf. That used to be the case, but it is no longer a required certainty (I believe this was changed intentionally for standardization and security purposes?). But yes, wget the package, tar xzf it, cd into it. Would be the basic set of steps one would need to proceed. -- Ben On Thu, Oct 16, 2014 at 8:52 AM, Michael Peters mpet...@emeralddata.net wrote: The instructions are at http://evergreen-ils.org/documentation/install/OpenSRF/README_2_4_0_alpha.html but you are right, grabbing the tarball is implied, and the opensrf user doesn't get created until step 6, which poses an issue.
