Created attachment 21156 [details] [review] Bug 7764 - INSTALL.ubuntu needs to be updated This is a major rework. Key improvements include: - Removed confusing multiple versions for Ubuntu leaving only one set of instructions. - The packages koha-deps and koha-perldeps are used. - License has been updated to reflect GPL3. - More wiki reference links have been included. - It is aimed to be based on source, not just tarball or just git. - Sample output has been cut as much as possible. - Almost cut-and-paste easy, making it friendlier than INSTALL.debian.

Signed-off-by: Tomas Cohen Arazi <tomascohen@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Katrin Fischer <Katrin.Fischer.83@web.de> Fixed a tiny typo: seperate Makes all sense to me - only wondering a bit about the recommendation of using lynx for the web installer. Quite an improvement, so passing QA.
The reason for lynx for the web browser portion of the install is to facilitate text-only servers without having to try to get them to understand apache and network configuration. If you know of another text-only browser, I'd be more than willing to try that. :)
But after running the web installer... how would you continue to do anything with your freshly installed Koha if you had no access to it from outside and no graphical interface on your server?
The scope of the instructions are to get a Koha installation functional, not necessarily usable. If the concern is usability, the instructions would need to include a whole segment on networking, which is beyond the scope of Koha installation. This is why they repeatedly suggest requesting assistance from a system administrator, network administrator or IT department.
I was just thinking why make it harder than it has to be - it could say... or use your browser instead.
Because someone somewhere is going to try this from scratch, because they are installing Koha for the first time and know nothing of Linux. Saying just use a browser, and expecting the networking portion of the problem to just work is fanciful dreaming. It most likely won't. It is about managing expectations. People expect the instructions to work. This method just works. Yes, they'll be wondering, "So how do I use it now?" but they won't be going "Why are these instructions broken?" Which problem would you prefer?
Pushed to master, along with a follow-up to direct people to the wiki instructions for installing Koha on Ubuntu from packages for production. Thanks, Mark!
This patch has been pushed to 3.12.x, will be in 3.12.7. Thanks Mark!
