📀 IPDA Website Installation

Installing the IPDA web site software requires the following packages be available:

Unix of some flavor
Python_ 2.7 (plus development libraries and headers, python2.7-dev)
libjpeg_ (plus development libraries and headers, libjpeg62-dev)
PDF Poppler_ Utilities, poppler-utils
wvWare_ (also known as wv)
Lynx_
Build tools: C/C++ compiler, make, etc. (like the build-essential package on some Unix distributions)

You'll also need a non-privileged user account to run the software. For the purposes of this document, we'll call this user $USER.

Go to the installation directory (you should see the file bootstrap.py and the directory src, etc.).
Copy ops.cfg.in to ops.cfg if it's not already there and edit it to put in some decent passwords.
Bootstrap: /usr/local/ipda/python2.7/bin/python2.7 bootstrap.py -c ops.cfg if it's not already boostrapped. (🗒 Note: it doesn't hurt to re-bootstrap.)
Build out: bin/buildout -c ops.cfg

You can then start things via:

bin/supervisord

🐈 Tomcat Upgrades

Tomcat upgrades are handled by the system administrators now. You no longer have to concern yourself.
