Optional foreign language installation: - If you would like more languages and not only English, - cd misc/translator - perl translate install fr-FR # or use your preferred language codes - -2. make -3.(optional) make test -4. sudo make install -5. sudo ln -s /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha - (note that the path to koha-httpd.conf may be different depending on your - installation choices) -6. sudo a2enmod rewrite deflate -7. sudo a2ensite koha && /etc/init.d/apache2 reload -8. sudo zebrasrv -f /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml - (note that you will want to run Zebra in daemon mode for a production - system) -9.

Running the Web Installer allows you to install sample data for libraries, patrons, etc. - but you may want to install additional data such as bibliographic and authorities. - - Once the installer has completed, you can import and index MARC records from the - command line thusly (Note: you can also use the 'Stage MARC records for import' from - the Tools area of Koha's Staff Client to import a batch of MARC records): - - $ export KOHA_CONF=/usr/share/koha/etc/koha-conf.xml - (note: use the correct path to your koha-conf.xml) - -2. Import: - Bibliographic data in MARC21 format - $ misc/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -file /path/to/marc.iso2709 - Authority data in MARC21 format - $ misc/migration_tools/bulkauthimport.pl -file /path/to/auth.iso2709 - -3. Fast Index: - $ misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -w - - Once the indexing has completed, you will be able to search for records in your - system. NOTE: if you don't run the Fast Index utility, and you have the index - updates scheduled as per 7.3 the indexing process will happen in the background, - but it will be orders of magnitude slower. - -4. Schedule regular index updates - run rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z as a regular cron job, check the 'misc/cronjobs/crontab.example' file for usage examples - - You can also configure zebra-indexing as an background daemon, see http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Background_indexing_with_Zebra - -5. To enable public Z39.50/SRU servers, you'll need to edit your koha-conf.xml and - change the options to listen on a TCP port; then restart the zebra daemon. - - -IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS -==================== - -IF THIS IS A PRE-RELEASE TREE: please contact developers by email via -http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel -or -http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.education.libraries.koha.devel - -IF THIS IS A RELEASED VERSION: please see the support pages at -http://www.koha-community.org/ - -Released versions usually have three-digit numbers, like 3.06.00, -while other version number styles are usually snapshots or previews. - - -DEVELOPER NOTES -=============== - -For instructions on how to package releases, run perldoc Makefile.PL +If you are a developer, you should take a look at KohaDevBox +https://github.com/digibib/kohadevbox -- 2.1.4
