VIVO-1653: Adapt installation instruction for linux users

I would like do add notes for linux users to the installation instruction  (e.g. on how user groups have effect). Also I would like to add concrete command line instructions linux users can copy and paste. For details see my comment below.

Do you have any wording you would like to add?

How different would these commands be than the commands we provide in the installation instructions currently?

Do we need a separate document, or can the Linux commands (when they are different) be in the installation document as notes?

This is my list on how to prepare the install (might be better added here [https://wiki.duraspace.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=96995725])

• install mysql (instruction) ** sudo apt install mysql-server

• install phpmyadmin (instruction) sudo apt install phpmyadmin // follow instructions (click space to select!) sudo systemctl restart apache2 // restart apache

• install java jdk (instruction) ** sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk

• set java path variable (instruction)

• install maven (instruction)

• apt-cache search maven  sudo apt-get install maven ** mvn -version

• install tomcat (instruction)

• ** sudo apt install tomcat8

 To the permissions section maybe we can add something like this (maybe you have better ideas on the parameters, i did the brute force solution ;)):

• set rights: data folder ** sudo chmod 777 -R data sudo chown tomcat8:tomcat8 -R data folder webapps in tomcat itself ** sudo chmod 777 -R webapps sudo chown tomcat8:tomcat8 -R webapps

To the section Configure and Start Tomcat we could add this:

(!) make sure your are running your tomcat with the same user as the maven build.

• start tomcat ** service tomcat8 start
• check status of tomcat ** service tomcat8 status

I think that some of this would out of scope for the install and some are specific to a particular version Linux.

You are using Ubuntu correct?  Can you tell me which version?

yes maybe it is too much for the general install page, we could also create a new one for linux users.

I am using Ubuntu 18.04.

I’ll fire up an Ubuntu VM and run it all through and we can go from there! :)

I have been looking over this but depending on Linux distro the instructions would be different and I don't think we can consistently support items like how to install maven and other packages.

I have been looking at this previously from a Redhat and CentOS perspective with similar instructions.

I was thinking about this last night and maybe a link to a "hints" page that can cover different OSs at certain points in time.

Thoughts?

Sure, might be a good solution.
