Since XWiki 3.3, it's possible to download and install automatically XWiki and every component needed for a production instance in a one shot, with the help of our new .deb packages, into our repository.
This method must work on every debian-based linux distribution. Feel free to use the Mailing List to report an issue, or discuss about it.
First Step : APT Configuration
First, you have to configure your package manager in order to use xwiki's repository. This can done simply, using this command:
Now you can update the packages database to read the data from this repository.
sudo apt-get update
Now you can make a little search to see what this repo offers.
It shows the following packages:
- xwiki-enterprise-common - XWiki enterprise common package
- xwiki-enterprise-tomcat-mysql - XWiki enterprise Tomcat/MySQL based package
- xwiki-enterprise-tomcat-pgsql - XWiki enterprise Tomcat/PostgreSQL
Second Step : Complete Installation
Using MySQL
As you may now, you only have to run this command to install all the interesting components.
apt-get install xwiki-enterprise-tomcat-mysql
This virtual package depends on xwiki-enterprise-common, mysql-server, tomcat6 and libmysql-java.
During the installation, you may have some questions from dbconfig, in charge of the configuration of the database.
