Packages of OpenACS and .LRN are now available for Debian GNU/Linux. We hope to facilitate the adoption by novices and the infrastructure deployment by professional users, both running Debian GNU/Linux and its derivates. This is an on-going effort. Beware, our packaging activity explicitly targets Debian GNU/Linux unstable ("sid"). Important dependencies are co-maintained with the Debian Tcl/Tk Maintainers

Getting started

Please, review the section on supported distributions first. Currently, the core packages (openacs, dotlrn) are managed in a community repository and are not delivered by the distributions supported. All required dependencies, however, are contained in these. Note that we only target Debian GNU/Linux unstable ("sid") and verify the availability and sanity of dependencies for this distribution!

Release packages for Debian unstable ("sid")

Modify your /etc/apt/sources.list to point to our community repository and update your package pool:
deb http://debian.adenu.ia.uned.es/apt sid main
Then run:

apt-get update
(optional) Provide for a PostgreSQL environment: If you don't have a PostgreSQL installation at hand, provide one. You do not need to care about setting up a concrete data base. This is automatically done by the openacs and dotlrn post-install instructions. For further PostgreSQL-related set-up issue, see ...

apt-get install postgresql-8.3
If you run a remote PostgreSQL instance, remember to allow for access of the PostgreSQL Administrator (postgres) and the openacs/dotlrn user from machine hosting your OpenACS/.LRN installation.
Install the core packages and follow the on-screen instructions:

# OpenACS
apt-get install openacs
... or ...

# .LRN
apt-get install dotlrn
