This Help section guides you through the installation of the MDM (Metadata Manager) on a Debin system.

Our Sticks ship with Ubuntu 8.04 which is used throughout this help.

Contents

OS Settings

It is advised to define a standard IP address because this installation will be a server. In order to make the installation accessible through the internet, you need to define a NAT on your router. Please read the documentation for your router to map the default HTTP port 80 to the IP address of the the new installation.

In case you don't use X I'm sure you know how to change the IP address of your computer. In all other cases, hit <ALT>+<F2> and type network-admin. You can change the settings there.

Zebra installtion

For an MDM Instance, you need a Zebra Index Server by Indexdata. The installation is pretty easy.

Ubuntu does not have a dedicated root user. Instead, you just have to type sudo in front of a command and enter the password of the installation user.

First you need a terminal. Hit <ALT>+<F2> and enter gnome-terminal to open a shell.
Now type in or copy the following comamnds:

sudo bash

This opens the root shell and you don't have to type sudo all the time.

gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Now add these lines to the bottom of the file

# Zebra
deb http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian etch main
deb-src http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian etch main

Save and close the file.

In order for apt (which is the installation tool on debian systems) to work with the Zebra packages, you need to install a key. Just type these lines into the console

wget http://ftp.indexdata.dk/debian/indexdata.asc
apt-key add indexdata.asc
apt-get update

For Ubuntu 8.04 and higher, you need to install some additional packages for zebra to work properly. These commands will help here.

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10470097/libicu36-dev_3.6-10_i386.deb
dpkg -i libicu36-dev_3.6-10_i386.deb

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10470096/libicu36_3.6-10_i386.deb
dpkg -i libicu36_3.6-10_i386.deb

apt-get -f install 

Don't mind the error messages which eventually will pop up. The last command should have fixed everything.

Now it's time to install zebra. In one line, we install some more stuff.

apt-get install yaz libyaz2-dev libyaz2 yaz-icu libicu36 libicu36-dev idzebra-2.0 libidzebra-2.0-modules libidzebra-2.0-mod-grs-xml libidzebra-2.0-mod-grs-regx libidzebra-2.0

That's it, zebra is installed.

The nice thing about that is, that Zebra will be updated throuth Ubuntus update routine now.

You can now close the terminal window.

Other resources

Ok, first we need a terminal. Hit <ALT>+<F2> and enter gnome-terminal to open a shell.

sudo bash

this will open a shell as root.

apt-get install lamp-server^
apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-sqlite php5-pgsql php5-mysql php5-yaz php5-xsl php5-curl php5-gd php5-cli
apt-get install subversion cvs 

That's it!

apt-get install proftpd

proftp should be installed as server from Inetd

apt-get install postfix

postfix is a satellite server


Some additional GUI tools for mysql?

apt-get install mysql-query-browser


You have prepared the system for MDM to run. It's time to install the MDM itself now.

MDM installation

First, you need to obtain the lastest package from !!CSV!! Extract it to your webserver's directory which would be /srv/www/htdocs first, delete everything that is in this folder.

sudo rm -rf /srv/www/htdocs/*
cd /srv/www/htdocs
tar -xzf $HOME/Desktop/mdmDismarc.tar.gz 
chown -R www-data:www-data  /srv/www/htdocs
