You need some stuff:
  • ImageMagick
  • perl >= 5.6
  • MySQL
  • PHP4 (>= 4.0.3) supporting GDlib and MySQL
  • apache supporting PHP4
  • some perl modules:
    - DBD:mysql
    - DBI
    - Image::Magick
    - Term::ReadKey
    and several modules that are probably already installed
    - Cwd 'abs_path'
    - ExtUtils::MakeMaker
    - File::Compare
    - File::Copy
    - File::Find
    - File::Path
    - File::Spec
    - File::stat
    - File::Temp
    - Fcntl
    - Getopt::Long
    - IO::Handle
    - POSIX ':sys_wait_h'
    - Socket
    - Time::HiRes 'usleep'
    - User::pwent
  Required SuSE RPMs

SuSE Users will need the following packages from their distribution's CDs:
  • mysql
  • mysql-client
  • ImageMagick
  • perl
  • perl-DBI
  • perl-PerlMagick
  • perl-TermReadKey
  • make
Users of SuSE 9.0 and previous versions also need the following packages:
  • apache
  • mod_php4
  • mod_php4-core
  • perl-Msql-Mysql-modules
Starting with SuSE 9.1, the following additional packages need to be installed:
  • apache2
  • php4 / php5
  • php4-gd / php5-gd
  • php4-mysql / php5-mysql
  • perl-DBD-mysql
Possibly this list isn't complete. If something cannot be found, call pin filename to check which package contains the file, install the package and send me a mail so that I can complete the package list ;-)


Debian users

We (finally) have a list of required DEBs for you. You need at least:
apt-get install make perl perl-modules \
 perlmagick libterm-readkey-perl \
 libdbd-mysql-perl bzip2
Since I suspect you not to own an external MySQL server, you need:
apt-get install mysql-server
Required for the WebGUI:
apt-get install apache2 apache2-mpm-prefork \
 libapache2-mod-php4 \
 php4-mysql php4-gd

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
If your private webfolder does not exist, create it before installing, otherwise the installer will ask irritating questions. As user:
mkdir ~/public_html
