This Help guides throu the intalltion of the MDM on a Debin system.

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

OS Settings

Its better to define a standard IP address because this installation will be a server. In order to make the installtion accessable through the internet, you need to define some NAT on your router. Please read the documentaion for your router to map the default HTTP port 80 to the IP address of the the new installtion.

In case you don't use X I'm sure you know 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 installtion is pretty easy.

As you know, 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 installtion user.

Ok, first we need a terminal. Hit <ALT>+<F2> and enter gnome-terminal to open a shell.
Now type in or cpy the following comamnds: 

sudo bash

this opens the root shell and we 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

Ok, save and close the file.

In order for apt (which is the installtion tool son debian systems) to work with the Zebra packages, we 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

Since Ubuntu 8.04, we need to install some additional packages for zebra to work properly. These commands will help there. 

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

In case of some error messages popping up, don't mind them. 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.
