Dimitrij Denissenko h1. For the really impatient Open a terminal as a normal user and call: {{{ curl http://github.com/dim/retrospectiva/raw/master/script/remote/retrospectiva_installer.rb | ruby }}} h1. For the less impatient *Installing Retrospectiva has never been easier*. If administrating your server is not exactly your thing, or if you just want to try Retrospectiva out without installing dozens of packages, the *Single-Step-Installer* might be the right choice for you. It works with all Unix based systems (such as Linux, MacOS, BSD, Solaris, etc. ). Only a few things are required: * ruby 1.8.x _(run @ruby -v@ to check the version)_ * curl or wget, gzip _(should always be installed)_ Please see the +Troubleshooting+ section at bottom of this page for help on requirements. h3. Installation Change to the directory where you want to install it in and let the installer do the rest! {{{ cd /home/user/webapps curl http://github.com/dim/retrospectiva/raw/master/script/remote/retrospectiva_installer.rb | ruby }}} If curl fails (because it is not installed on your system), just try @wget@ instead: {{{ cd /home/user/webapps wget -O - http://github.com/dim/retrospectiva/raw/master/script/remote/retrospectiva_installer.rb | ruby }}} *Done!* The script will create a new @retrospectiva/@ folder inside the chosen directory and download all the required components automatically. Furthermore, it will set-up and initialize a sqlite3 database for you. h3. Notes The *Single-Step-Installer* provides a basic set-up of useful features. If you feel even a little comfortable to manage your own server, please have a look at the step-by-step [[Installation]] guide, which provides a more comprehensive set of options for your Retrospectiva installation. h1. Troubleshooting If +ruby+ is missing on your server you can install it via: {{{ # Ubuntu, Debian, etc. sudo apt-get install ruby libruby rdoc ri ruby1.8-dev # Fedora, CentOS, RedHat, etc. sudo yum install ruby ruby-irb ruby-libs ruby-rdoc ruby-devel readline # MacOS # Follow this link: http://rubyosx.rubyforge.org/ }}} Should something go wrong during the installation, please "create a ticket":http://retrospectiva.org/tickets/new 2009-03-03T19:48:47+00:00 2009-11-24T10:29:46+00:00 10
