(you can skip this step, if your environment matches the above dependencies. In this case continue with "Installing translate5")
The setup requires root access privileges. You need to open the command line and enter the listed commands. After each command press ENTER.
Install Apache
sudo apt-get install apache2
Enable Additional Modules for Apache
Apache web server needs to be fine tuned for translate5 to work properly. Switch to Apache directory with
cd /etc/apache2
and enter these commands to enable required Apache submodules
sudo a2enmod rewrite filter deflate headers expires
sudo apache2ctl restart
Last command is mandatory for changes to take effect. If you see, upon issuing sudo apache2ctl restart, the following warning:
Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
do not worry, it’s not important.
Install MySQL
sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
The installation process will prompt a few times for a new root password access for MySQL. It’s fine leaving it blank; otherwise, please ensure you type the same every time. You can test the reachability of the database by issuing at a terminal:
mysql -u root -p
If you specified a password during MySQL setup, type it when prompted; otherwise, just hit Return. If everything went fine, you should see the greeting message and the shell prompt:
mysql>
Leave mysql shell prompt with
exit;
Install PHP5 core
Add the php 5.6 repository, since it is not yet included in Ubuntu
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5-5.6
If you get an error here, you need to install python-software-properties first (and then do the line above again):
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
Now refresh your package list
sudo apt-get update
and install php
sudo apt-get install php5
Check if you have the correct version of php installed
php5 -v
Change PHP configuration
If you plan to upload project files bigger than 2MB, you have to change the following settings in the php.ini file. Please edit therefore the php.ini file which should be located in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini.
Search for the below settings and change their values to 60M to allow file uploads until 60 Megabytes.
post_max_size=60M upload_max_filesize=60M
Install php extensions
Install the extension dom, fileinfo, iconv, mbstring, zip, pdo_mysql and gd
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
php5-mysql
php5-gd
Install Oracle Java
(needed by openTMStermTagger, which is used by translate5)
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
