# Installation Procedure for IVLE # =============================== # Target Platform: Ubuntu 8.04+ # # IMPORTANT: This is NOT a shell script. It has interactive sections and # things that need to be customized. # It is written like a shell script so it can be mostly cut-and-pasted into # the shell, but it can't simply be executed. # While other install guides in this package are generic, this one is very # specific to our intended configuration. It will be very helpful if trying to # set up IVLE on Ubuntu 8.04 or higher; less helpful for other platforms. # This refers to ivle.conf, also included. # # Author: Matt Giuca # Date: 29/1/2008 ########################################################################## # Apt packages ########################################################################## sudo apt-get install rsync subversion build-essential debootstrap \ apache2 libapache2-mod-python libapache2-svn \ python-svn python-cjson python-genshi \ python-configobj postgresql python-routes \ python-docutils python-epydoc \ python-storm python-psycopg2 ########################################################################## # Configure postgres ########################################################################## # Set the postgres user's postgres password # At the prompt type (substituting <***password***> with a real one). sudo -u postgres psql -c "ALTER USER postgres WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD '<***password***>'" ########################################################################## # Installing ivle ########################################################################## # Create a postgres database # (only need the first line if it was previously created and is now changed) sudo -u postgres dropdb ivle sudo -u postgres createdb ivle sudo -u postgres createlang plpgsql ivle sudo -u postgres psql -d ivle < userdb/users.sql # Set up IVLE ./setup.py build sudo ./setup.py install sudo ivle-config sudo ivle-createdatadirs # Create the jail.
