Installing on Plone3

First of all, be sure to have the following software installed:

• python2.4
• python2.4 development files (i.e. in Debian it is python2.4-dev)
• python setuptools (please, be sure of having the latest setuptools available ---  http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/)
• PIL (i.e. in Debian it is python-imaging)
• on Debian you can issue:

apt-get install python2.4 python2.4-dev python-imaging gcc python-setuptools make subversion python-subversion \
libc6-dev libcairo2-dev python-cairo libncurses5-dev libpq-dev python-sqlalchemy python-libxml2 python-lxml \
less libmysqlclient15-dev

Packages useful to index pdf and doc files:

apt-get install poppler-utils wv

Then create a plone user:

adduser plone
chown -R plone.plone /opt
su - plone

And as plone execute the following (N.B. all the relevant libraries, such as Biopython or Numpy, are installed by buildout):

Latest stable release (1.0)

cd /opt/
svn co https://www.plone4bio.org/svn/plone4bio.buildout/tags/1.0/ plone4bio.buildout
cd plone4bio.buildout
ln -s demo.cfg buildout.cfg
python2.4 bootstrap.py
bin/buildout -v

Development release (trunk)

cd /opt/
svn co https://www.plone4bio.org/svn/plone4bio.buildout/trunk/ plone4bio.buildout
cd plone4bio.buildout
ln -s demo.cfg buildout.cfg
python2.4 bootstrap.py
bin/buildout -v

To visualize the features you will also need to install Bioperl.
