Installing the Debian Packages

From Osi

Jump to: navigation, search

On this page I've listed two ways of installing the iHRIS Debian packages. The first is easiest if you have Debian/Ubuntu system already running and just want to install the packages. The second is a fairly straight-forward way of building the binary packages from scratch. This is useful if you want to change something with the packaging.

Finally, I describe the reasons for the decisions made in creating the packaging. If you want to modify the packaging, read over this section.

Before Installation

If you don't have the mysql-server package installed, you'll want to install it. Alternatively, you can use mysql on another host (though this is not yet tested). This package uses the dbconfig-common package to take care of database setup.

After Installation

  • Visit http://localhost/iHRIS/Manage
  • You should have the bare-bones installation running. If you want to modify the apache setup, change /etc/apache2/conf.d/ihris-mananage.conf.

Super Simple 

deb http://www.intrahealth.org/debian ./
  • Run “aptitude install ihris-manage”.

Easily Build Your Own

  • Install Bazaar and bzr-builddeb as well as the build dependencies dpatch and debhelper. (“apt-get install bzr-builddeb dpatch debhelper”)
  • Check out my debian build scripts. I suggest doing this in a separate directory. For example: 
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ bzr co http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~hexmode/i2ce/debian-dev i2ce
$ bzr co http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~hexmode/ihris-common/debian-dev ihris-common
$ bzr co http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~hexmode/ihris-manage/debian-dev ihris-manage
  • In each directory, run “bzr builddeb”. 
$ (cd i2ce; bzr builddeb)
$ (cd ihris-common; bzr builddeb)
$ (cd ihris-manage; bzr builddeb)
  • You should now have a subdirectory named build-area with three .deb files in it. Before installing them, you'll need to install the runtime dependencies: aptitude install dbcommon-config ucf libapache2-mod-php5 php-i18nv2 php-mdb2-driver-mysql php-text-password. At this time, some are only available from the IntraHealth Debian repository above.
  • Install the Debian packages you created: sudo dpkg -i build-area/*.deb
