<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hello,<br><br>i am trying to help someone who has no internet access to setup and run Koha on a fresh box.<br><br>i break the install process into four major pre-requisites:<br>Installing the OS, Apache, and MySQL, and lastly, getting the Perl modules<br><br>While we can manage the first three relatively easily, its the fourth one (Perl modules) that i need help with.<br><br>One
("brute force"?) approach i thought i'd try is to just copy over the
contents of the Perl paths that contain the modules from my own running
install of Koha. (The modules are at /usr/lib/perl5 and
/usr/local/lib/perl5). If the OS and everything else is pretty similar,
there is some chance this will work, given that the modules were
compiled for a similar architecture (an x86 PC)?<br><br>i haven't tried this yet, but before i do, i am sure there are better ways to do this. For e.g.., cpan
still has the sources for all the modules i fetched at /root/.cpan/sources<br>Perhaps,
i can compile and install cpan from scratch on the new box, copy over the sources,
and give CPAN a "local file url" (like file://...?) to go look for
stuff? Or is it possible to (temporarily and relatively easily) create
a CPAN mirror on a box on the local network?<br><br>Otherwise there are perhaps just too many modules and dependencies required to satisfy them to try and do this one at a time.<br><br>Also,
i hear there's a way to get a "tarball" of modules for specific needs,
has someone tried doing one for Koha? Or can i create one from what i
already have?<br><br>Hoping to hear some good useful advice from you all, as always. This one's for you, Prashant...<br><br>Thanks and regards,<br>
