  1 += Noosfero: a free web-based social platform
  2 +
  3 +== Setting up a Noosfero development/test environment
  4 +
  5 +Noosfero is written in Ruby with the "Rails framework":http://www.rubyonrails.org,
  6 +so the process of setting it up is pretty similar to other Rails applications.
  7 +
  8 +=== Requirements
  9 +
  10 +noosfero is intended to be run in Debian stable. It can work in other environments, but we do not test on them.
  11 +
  12 +You need to have git installed, as well as:
  13 +
  14 +* Ruby: http://www.ruby-lang.org/
  15 +* Rake: http://rake.rubyforge.org/
  16 +* Ruby-GetText: http://www.yotabanana.com/hiki/ruby-gettext.html?ruby-gettext (at least version 1.9.0)
  17 +* Ruby-sqlite3: http://rubyforge.org/projects/sqlite-ruby
  18 +* rcov: http://eigenclass.org/hiki/rcov
  19 +* Ferret: http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac
  20 +* RMagick: http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/
  21 +* RedCloth: http://whytheluckystiff.net/ruby/redcloth/
  22 +* will_paginate: http://github.com/mislav/will_paginate/wikis
  23 +* contacts: http://github.com/cardmagic/contacts/tree/master
  24 +* iso-codes: http://pkg-isocodes.alioth.debian.org/
  25 +* feedparser: http://packages.debian.org/sid/libfeedparser-ruby
  26 +* Mongrel: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/
  27 +* tango-icon-theme: http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Library
  28 +
  29 +There are Debian packages available for all of them but contacts. Try:
  30 +
  31 + # aptitude install subversion ruby rake libgettext-ruby1.8 libsqlite3-ruby rcov librmagick-ruby libredcloth-ruby libwill-paginate-ruby iso-codes libfeedparser-ruby libferret-ruby mongrel mongrel-cluster tango-icon-theme
  32 +
  33 +contacts is bundled together with noosfero for now, so you don't need to install it.
  34 +
  35 +If you have problems with the setup, use the development mailing list. In
  36 +special its possible that the requirements list above is not complete.
  37 +
  38 +=== Setting up a production environment
  39 +
  40 +* install memcached. Study whether you need to raise the ammount of memory it uses for caching, depending on the demand you expect for your site.
  41 +* copy config/ferret_server.yml.dist to config/ferret_server.yml.dist
  42 +* configure the mongrel cluster: `mongrel_rails cluster::configure`
  43 +** then edit config/mongrel_cluster.yml to suit your environment. Make sure your apache configuration matches the mongrel cluster configuration, specially in respect to the ports and numbers of mongrel instances.
  44 +* create needed temporary directories:
  45 + mkdir tmp
  46 + mkdir tmp/pids
  47 + mkdir log
  48 +* create database (example using PostgreSQL, YMMV)
  49 +
  50 + root user
  51 + =========
  52 + # sudo apt-get install postgresql libpgsql-ruby
  53 + # su - postgres
  54 +
  55 + postgres user
  56 + =============
  57 + postgres@HOST:~$ createuser noosfero
  58 + Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) n
  59 + Shall the new role be allowed to create databases? (y/n) y
  60 + Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/n) n
  61 +
  62 + noosfero_user
  63 + =============
  64 + createdb noosfero_production
  65 + createdb noosfero_development
  66 + createdb noosfero_test
  67 +
  68 +* configure database access in config/database.yml
  69 +
  70 +* test database access:
  71 +** first create the development database
  72 + rake db:schema:load
  73 +** if everything goes right, then create the production database:
  74 + RAILS_ENV=production rake db:schema:load
  75 +
  76 +* create sample data:
  77 + RAILS_ENV=production rake db:populate
  78 +
  79 +* compile the translations:
  80 + rake makemo
  81 +
  82 +* start the server:
  83 + ./script/production start
  84 +
  85 +* to stop the server:
  86 +
  87 + ./script/production stop
  88 +
  89 +* to restart the server:
  90 +
  91 + ./script/production restart
  92 +
  93 +=== Boostraping a test environment
  94 +
  95 +You can copy and paste the commands below into a terminal (please review the
  96 +commands and make sure you understand what you are doing):
  97 +
  98 + # checkout the code from repository
  99 + git clone git://git.colivre.coop.br/noosfero.git
  100 + # enter the directory
  101 + cd noosfero
  102 + # copy a sample config file
  103 + cp config/database.yml.sqlite3 config/database.yml
  104 + # create the database:
  105 + rake db:migrate
  106 + # compile translations:
  107 + rake makemo
  108 + # create some test data:
  109 + ./script/populate
  110 + # install the test dependences:
  111 + aptitude install libtidy-ruby libhpricot-ruby libmocha-ruby imagemagick
  112 + # run the automated test suite to make sure your environment is sane:
  113 + rake test
  114 +
  115 +You should now be ready to go. Issue the following command to start the Rails
  116 +development server:
  117 +
  118 + ./script/server
  119 +
  120 +The server will be available at http://localhost:3000/ . If you want to use
  121 +another port than 3000, you can use the -p option of ./script/server:
  122 +
  123 + ./script/server -p 9999
  124 +
  125 +The above command makes the server available at http://localhost:9999/
  126 +
  127 +The populate script creates some test users, one of them has login 'ze' and
  128 +password 'test'. You can use it or you can register a new user.
  129 +
  130 +== Reporting bugs
  131 +
  132 +Use Noosfero Tracker application at http://www.colivre.coop.br/Noosfero.
  133 +
  134 +== Helping with development
  135 +
  136 +* It's recommended that you subscribe to the development mailing
  137 + list: http://ynternet.net/mailman/listinfo/noosfero
  138 +* If you have a patch, create an appropriate action item
  139 + (bugs/requirement/enhancement) in the Tracker web (see "Reporting bugs"
  140 + above) of type.
  141 +
  142 +== Releasing noosfero
  143 +
  144 +To prepare a release of noosfero, you must follow the steps below:
  145 +
  146 +* finish all requirements and bugs assigned to the to-be-released version
  147 +* make sure all tests pass
  148 +* write release notes at the version's wiki topic.
  149 +* generate package with <tt>rake package</tt>. Your tarball will be under the pkg/
  150 + directory, named as noosfero-${VERSION}.tar.gz
  151 +* test that the package contains everything that is needed: explode the tarball
  152 + in a temporary directory, copy config/database.yml.sqlite3 to
  153 + config/database.yml, and make <tt>rake db:migrate</tt> and <tt>rake test</tt>. If
  154 + everything is ok, you are done. If not, maybe some files are not going into
  155 + the tarball. See lib/tasks/package.rake, probably you'll need to change it.
  156 +* Go to the version's wiki topic and edit it to reflect the new reality.
  157 +* Attach the generated package to that topic. Before attaching calculate the md5 of the package (with mu5sum and paste the MD5 hash as comment in the attachment form)
  158 +* Download the attached and verify the MD5 hash
  159 +* create a git tag for the released version with <tt>git tag</tt>.
  160 +* IMMEDIATELY change the version in lib/noosfero.rb to the next version. (e.g.
  161 + 0.2.0 -> 0.3.0)
  162 +* update an eventual demonstration version that you run.
  163 +* write an announcement e-mail to the relevant maimling lists pointing to the release notes, and maybe to the demonstration version.
  164 +
  165 +If you had any problem during these steps, you can do <tt>rake clobber_package</tt> to
  166 +completely delete the generated packages and start the process again.
  167 +
  168 +== Working with translations
  169 +
  170 +* Update translation files: <tt>rake updatepo</tt>. Then <tt>git commit</tt> them.
  171 +* Send the PO files to the translators.
  172 +* Get the PO files back from translators, put in po/ under the correct language
  173 + name (e.,g. po/pt_BR/) and <tt>git commit</tt>.
  174 +* test translations: <tt>rake makemo</tt> and browse the application on the web.
