Installing Metacat requires a server running an SQL92 compliant database
|
253 |
3019
|
perry
|
(Oracle 8i or Postgresql recommended) with at least 128MB RAM, and a Pentium III class
|
254 |
878
|
berkley
|
processor or higher. The amount of disk space required depends on the
|
255 |
|
|
size of your RDBMS tablespace (which should be at least 10 MB,
|
256 |
|
|
however Metacat itself requires only about 1 MB of free space after
|
257 |
3214
|
costa
|
installation). These instructions assume a Linux environment but may
|
258 |
878
|

|
work on other UNIX type environments, however this has not been tested.

The server on which you wish to install Metacat must have the following

software installed and running correctly before attempting to install

Metacat.

<p>You'll need a recent Java SDK; J2SE 1.4.2 or later is required. The latest metacat release

<p>The Oracle RDBMS must be installed and running as a daemon on the system.

|
In addition the JDBC listener must be enabled. You can enable it by

291 |
4571
|

|
logging in as your Oracle user and typing the following:</p>
|
292 |

<div class="code">lsnrctl start</div>
|
294 |

<p>Your instance should have a table space of at least 5 MB (10 MB or higher
|
296 |
878
|
berkley
|
recommended). You should also have a username specific to Metacat
|
297 |
|
|
created and enabled. This user must have most normal permissions
|
298 |
|
|
including CREATE SESSION, CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX, CREATE TRIGGER,
|
299 |
|
|
EXECUTE PROCEDURE, EXECUTE TYPE, etc. If an action is unexplainably
|
300 |

rejected by Metacat it is probably because the user permissions are not

<p>PostgreSQL can be easily installed on most linux distributions and on

305 |
2182
|
jones
|
Windows (using cygwin) and Mac OS X. Using Fedora Core or RedHat Linux,
|
306 |
4571
|
daigle
|
you can install the rpms for postgres and then run </p>

|
|
<div class="code">/etc/init.d/postgresql start</div>

310 |
|
|
<p>in order to start the database.
|
311 |
3019
|
perry
|
On Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linux distributions, you can use the apt-get command
|
312 |
|
|
to install postgres: <code>sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.0</code> and
|
313 |
|
|
then run <code>/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.0 start</code> to start.
|
314 |
|
|
|
315 |
2182
|
jones
|
This initializes the data files. You need to do a bit of configuration
|
316 |
|
|
to create a database and set up a user account and allow internet access
|
317 |
|
|
via jdbc. See the postgres documentation for this, but here is a quick
|
318 |
|
|
start:
|
319 |
|
|
<ul>
|
320 |
|
|
<li>Switch to the "postgres" user account and edit "data/pg_hba.conf", adding the following line to the file:<br>
|
321 |
2455
|
jones
|
<code>host metacat metacat 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 password</code><br>
|
322 |
3615
|
bowdish
|
If your host uses IPv6 addresses, you may need this line instead:
|
323 |
2455
|
jones
|
<code>host metacat metacat ::1 ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff password</code></li>
|
324 |
3019
|
perry
|
<li>If you are using Postgresql pre-8.0, you must edit the "data/postgres.conf" file and uncomment and edit the line
|
325 |
2182
|
jones
|
starting with "tcpip_socket" so that it reads
|
326 |
|
|
<code>tcpip_socket = true</code></li>
|
327 |
|
|
<li>Run <code>createdb metacat</code> to create a new database</li>
|
328 |
|
|
<li>Run <code>psql metacat</code> to log in using the postgres account and create a new "metacat" user account
|
329 |
|
|
<ul>
|
330 |
|
|
<li>In postgres, run <code>CREATE USER metacat WITH UNENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'apasswordyoulike';</code></li>
|
331 |
|
|
<li>This creates a new account called metacat on the database named metacat</li>
|
332 |
|
|
<li>Note: there are many ways to do this, so others such as using
|
333 |
|
|
ENCRYPTED passwords will work fine.</li>
|
334 |
|
|
</ul>
|
335 |
|
|
</li>
|
336 |
|
|
<li>Exit the postgres account back to root and restart the postgres
|
337 |
|
|
database with <code>/etc/init.d/postgresql restart</code></li>
|
338 |
|
|
<li>Test logging into the postgres db using the metacat account with
|
339 |
|
|
the following command:
|
340 |
|
|
<code>psql -U metacat -W -h localhost metacat</code></li>

Ant is a Java based build application similar to Make on UNIX systems.
|
347 |
|
|
It takes in installation parameters from a file in the root installation
|
348 |
|
|
directory named "build.xml". The Metacat CVS module contains a default
|
349 |
|
|
build.xml file that may require some modification upon installation. Ant
|
350 |
932
|
jones
|
should be installed on the system and the "ant" executable shell script
|
351 |
3019
|
perry
|
should be available in the users path. The latest metacat release was tested with
|
352 |
|
|
Ant 1.6.5. <!-- We note that the current build is
|
353 |
2182
|
jones
|
not working with Ant 1.6.x, so you'll need to use an earler version. We have
|
354 |

successfully used Ant 1.5.1, 1.5.2, and some earlier versions. -->
