1 beta-beta-beta INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
2
3 Feel free to contact me via e-mail to dpavlin@rot13.org if those instructions
4 don't work for you.
5
6 1. You will need RDBMS (relational database management system) for index
7 files. PostgreSQL and SQLite are tested and supported.
8
9 Using any other database is quite easy, and involves editing of
10 dbi_* parameters in global.conf [global] section (which you want
11 to do anyway to specify user and password to connect to database).
12
13 If you use PostgreSQL, you have to first create database:
14
15 $ createdb webpac
16 CREATE DATABASE
17
18 If using SQLite, just specify file which SQLite will use (in global.conf)
19 like this:
20
21 dbi_dbd=SQLite
22 dbi_dsn=dbname=/data/webpac/index.sqlite
23
24 Tables for index(es) will be created automatically on first run. If you
25 change data for index often, you might want to drop and re-create database
26 to erase tables for indexes which are removed.
27
28 SQLite can be quite faster than PostgreSQL (for reference see SQLite
29 site: http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/speed.html). Since WebPAC doesn't
30 use advanced database facilities of PostgreSQL you would probably be
31 better off with SQLite if you don't have PostgreSQL already installed.
32
33 2. Use CPAN shell to install modules used:
34
35 $ sudo cpan
36 cpan> install module_name
37
38 Modules which are needed:
39
40 Text::Unaccent version 1.02 or higher, you might need
41 to get this one from
42 http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/unac/
43 Config::IniFiles
44 DBD::Pg or some other DBD driver, you can also
45 use the one which came with distribution
46 (e.g. libdbd-pg-perl on Debian)
47 CGI::Application
48 HTML::Pager
49 HTML::Template
50 HTML::FillInForm
51 SWISH
52 SWISH::Fork and of course, swish-e executable
53 (e.g. swish-e package on Debian)
54 XML::Simple
55
56 CPAN shell will also download some more modules to satisfy dependencies.
57
58 If you plan to use M$ Excel files for import (type=excel), you will need:
59
60 Spreadsheet::ParseExcel
61
62 If you plan to use import from MARC files you will also need
63
64 MARC
65
66 3. You will need OpenIsis if you are using ISIS as an import format.
67 Currently, WebPAC uses OpenIsis 0.9.0 which *HAVE TO BE PATCHED*
68 with special patch so that perl module OpenIsis.pm have close call
69 (because there is hard-limit of 32 ISIS files in OpenIsis.pm, and that
70 is too low for our use).
71
72 Get OpenIsis from:
73 http://openisis.org/Doc/GetIt
74
75 Get patch for close from:
76 http://www.rot13.org/~dpavlin/projects/openisis-0.9.0-perl_close.diff
77
78 Unpack OpenIsis archive and apply patch -p0 to source tree. Type make, and
79 than:
80
81 cd perl
82 perl Makefile.PL
83 make
84 sudo make install
85
86 4. edit global.conf and all2xml.conf to suit your needs. Comments inside
87 those files should help get you started.
