#Fuuka system requirements
System requirements
- Perl 5.10 or above, must be compiled with ithreads. Do
perl -V | grep ithread
to check. - MySQL 5.0+ (5.1+ highly recommended, 5.5+ required for non-BMP Unicode support)
- A webserver that can run CGI scripts or Apache with mod_perl (recommended)
- gnuplot (version >= 4.2, gd with PNG support)
- Ability to run daemons / background processes (GNU screen recommended)
- Around 110~250 MiB of RAM per board being archived
- About 2 GiB of extra RAM to run the (optional, but much faster) Sphinx search backend for a board with a number of posts similar to /a/ (as of late 2011)
Perl modules
Apart from standard modules that you probably already have (CGI, Carp, Data::Dumper, Encode, Time::!HiRes), you'll also need the following perl modules installed:
- URI::Escape
- DBI
- Digest::SHA1
- LWP
- DBD::mysql (Important: you need version >= 4.0, otherwise Unicode characters will get messed up in the database. Do
perl -MDBD::mysql -e 'print "$DBD::mysql::VERSION\n"'
to check) - DateTime
- DateTime::TimeZone
- Net::IP
- Date::Parse
- threads::shared ships with Perl, but we require version >= 1.21. Do
perl -Mthreads::shared -e 'print "$threads::shared::VERSION\n"'
to check which version you have. If necessary, either upgrade your copy of Perl to a more recent version (5.10.1+ should ship with a suitable version of this module) or just the threads::shared module itself (from CPAN, for example).
FreeBSD ports
If you're running FreeBSD, just install the following ports:
- lang/perl5.14 (enable threads)
- net/p5-URI
- databases/p5-DBI
- security/p5-Digest-SHA1
- www/p5-libwww
- databases/p5-DBD-mysql
- devel/p5-DateTime
- devel/p5-DateTime-TimeZone
- net-mgmt/p5-Net-IP
- devel/p5-TimeDate
- math/gnuplot (you can disable all the options in graphics/gd and all the options except for gd in math/gnuplot to avoid building X11)
