And for Ubuntu, i used the article at the wiki.<br><br>Installation boils down to the following main sections:<br>1) Preparing the basic system (nothing special)<br>2) Ensuring UTF-8 usage (there's an encoding scratchpad at the wiki)<br>3) Installing and checking Apache and MySQL, including creating the database and user<br>4) Installing some needed software (such as gcc, libxml, etc.)<br>5) Installing the needed Perl modules (there's a long list)<br>6) Finally: Koha
itself...phew...<br><br>Looking at one of the install guides will give you a feel, but be prepared for a long install session(s)<br><br>regards,<br>krishnan<br></div><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Patrick Bachelier <patbachelier@free.fr><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> koha@lists.katipo.co.nz<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Sunday, 21 December, 2008 4:06:40 PM<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> [Koha] FreeBSD Dependencies<br></font><br>
