Installation Manuals

This page contains information about the installation and configuration of OpenPetra and how to update it. It is not a full list but the intention is to add to it in the future.

Installing OpenPetra For The First Time

We have now a script at https://get.openpetra.org that helps with setting up a test environment on recent versions of CentOS, Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu. This script is also used for setting up the demo server, and to run all the nightly tests.

The requirement is one of the supported Linux systems, that is not used for anything else. The recommendation is to use a dedicated virtual machine or a container just for OpenPetra.

You also need to have installed: bash, curl, sudo, tar

to start the script, simply run as root:

curl https://get.openpetra.org | bash -s test
