This page is obsolete. acq-experiment branch is toast.

I built a VirtualBox Evergreen image with Acquisitions. Below is what I did:

$ apt-get install xorg xorg-dev build-essential vim linux-headers-`uname -r` subversion
$ apt-get install fluxbox # window manager of choice.  fluxbox has low memory requirements

# install VirtualBox guest additions and reboot

$ apt-get install firefox

# install Evergreen acq-experiment branch from wiki, using OpenSRF/trunk and ILS/branches/acq-experiment # add open-ils.acq to the application definitions and list of activeapps in opensrf.xml # disable OCLC Z39 source for now

$ easy_install Pylons
$ apt-get install python-libxml2 python-libxslt1 python-egenix-mxdatetime dnsmasq

# add 127.0.0.1 to /etc/resolv.conf

$ apt-get install libapache2-mod-python

• get wsgi.py and put it in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mod_python/wsgi.py
  • note there is a package manager version of wsgy.py, but it's relatively new and i haven't tested it yet)

evergreen=# insert into actor.workstation (name, owning_lib) values ('BR1-demo', 4);
evergreen=# insert into permission.usr_work_ou_map (usr, work_ou) values (1,4);
$ cd /openils/var/web/oilsweb;
$ cp development.ini deployment.ini
$ python setup.py develop

• edit deployment.ini:
  • uncomment oils_demo_* settings and change demo-admin to admin, and password to open-ils
  • change oils_added_content_prefix to use localhost
  • add use_mod_python = 1
  • uncomment set debug = false
• Add the following to eg_vhost.conf (or Include this file) ACQ Conf (Note the PythonPath paths…)
• grab dojo from http://download.dojotoolkit.org/release-1.1.1/dojo-release-1.1.1.tar.gz
  • unpack and put dojo, dijit, and dojox into /openils/var/web/js/dojo/
• Add some bib data (*cough*)
• Go to http://localhost/oils/acq/picklist/list
