MMBase Mini-HOWTO: Installation on Debian Woody: Prerequisites

Next Previous Contents

## 3. Prerequisites

You will need a working Debian Woody installation, including apt, and make sure the following packages are installed and working correctly.

## 3.1 Standard packages

- tomcat4
- mysql-server
- imagemagick

If these packages are not installed, you can do so by typing

> `

>       apt-get install packagename

> `

where packagename is one of the above.

Note: naturally you will need al dependencies too, but apt will take care of that automatically.

## 3.2 Non standard package(s)

While writing this document, Woody only contains java 1.1, but for MMBase version 1.2 or higher is needed. I installed the packages from Blackdown. A list of Blackdown mirrors is at http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/mirrors.html.

I added the following to my /etc/apt/sources.list , but the path might be different for different mirrors:

> `

>       deb ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/java/jdk/debian woody non-free

> `

After that you can just type

> `

>       apt-get install j2sdk1.3

> `

Note: Although it must be possible to have more JRE's installed next to eachother, I wouldn't recommend it if it's not absolutely neccesary.
