Installation guide - merces/aleph GitHub Wiki

This tutorial was tested in a Debian 7.0 x86 but can be easily adpted to your favorite distro.

1. Download a fresh version of of aleph:

• $ wget https://github.com/merces/aleph/archive/master.zip
• $ unzip master.zip
• $ mkdir /opt/aleph
• $ cd aleph-master/
• $ mv * /opt/aleph <-- You must do it because install script won't do it for you =P

2. As root since you must download some packets

• :# cd /opt/aleph/install
• :# ./install.sh

3. Follow the script and say Yes to knowledge ;)

4. Change the configuration file

• :$ cp aleph.conf.ori aleph.conf

5. To make aleph run, you must exec the daemon alephd.sh as "Aleph" $sudo -u aleph /opt/aleph/alephd.sh

and Done; As simple as that ;)

Some troubleshoot

• 1)Verify if you have all the necessary packages(sometimes the install script couldnt find all)
• 2)Verify permissions to apache and the created user "aleph" to the folders.
• 3)I had to create a folder inside the /home/incoming/session... (patched)
