Install
Sconeserver aims to be simple to install, whether from a prebuilt package or building from source.
Packages
Sconeserver is split into multiple packages for installation, so you can just install the modules you need and not pull in dependencies for ones you don't need.
| Package | Description |
|---|---|
| sconeserver-base | The base system and common modules |
| sconeserver-bluetooth | Bluetooth module |
| sconeserver-dev | Development files (only needed if you want to write your own modules) |
| sconeserver-location | Location module |
| sconeserver-mysql | MySQL database module |
| sconeserver-sconesite | Sconesite CMS module plus image and rss modules |
| sconeserver-sqlite | SQLite database module |
| sconeserver-ssl | Secure Sockets Layer module using OpenSSL |
| sconeserver-testbuilder | TestBuilder system |
Packages for Ubuntu 12.10 (Precise) are available in the PPA ppa:wedge-i/sconeserver. For example, adding this PPA and installing the most common packages should be simply a matter of:
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:wedge-i/sconeserver $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install sconeserver-base sconeserver-sconesite sconeserver-mysql sconeserver-sqlite
Building and installing from source
In addition to the obvious (C++ compiler and standard libraries), you will also need the following libraries, depending on which modules you intend to use:
| Dependency | Needed by |
|---|---|
| pcre - Perl Compatible Regular Expressions | Base |
| OpenSSL - Transport layer security | ssl |
| Libxml2 - XML parser | sconesite |
| ImageMagick - Image manipulation | image |
| MySQL client library - Database access | mysql |
| SQLite - Database engine | sqlite |
| BlueZ - Linux Bluetooth stack | bluetooth |
| Libgps - GPS daemon client | location |
For example, on Ubuntu you can install all the required packages with the following command:
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libpcre3-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev libmagick++-dev libmysqlclient-dev libsqlite3-dev libbluetooth-dev libgps-dev
Assuming you have all the prerequisites, downloading, building and installing the latest version of sconeserver should be as simple as:
$ git clone https://github.com/sconemad/sconeserver.git $ cd sconeserver $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=$PREFIX $ make $ make check $ sudo make install
Make sure the directory $PREFIX/lib is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf, if not, add it to the end, then run ldconfig (as root).
And that's it, sconeserver is installed and ready to run. You'll probably want to read the section on configuration first though.
