MusicBrainz::Server runs really nicely on Debian. Here's how you can get it running! I'm using Debian 5.0.4 (which was stable, at the time of writing)
First, we need a few modules just to kick the build process off.
apt-get install libmodule-install-perl git-core build-essential
Now we can clone the core.git repository and build a Makefile to work from.
git clone git://git.musicbrainz.org/musicbrainz-server/core.git musicbrainz-server cd musicbrainz-server perl Makefile.PL
You'll see you don't have most of the modules. You could let the Makefile grab this all for you, but that's going to stick a load of junk all over you Debian system. And I don't like other people leaving their junk all around my house, do you? So, cancel that (keep answering 'no') and lets take care of the easy modules that have Debian packages:
apt-get install libcatalyst-modules-perl libcatalyst-view-tt-perl libdbd-pg-perl libexception-class-perl libhtml-tiny-perl liblocale-po-perl liblist-moreutils-perl libmoose-perl libossp-uuid-perl libreadonly-perl libstring-shellquote-perl libtest-differences-perl libxml-feed-perl libyaml-perl
Stable does not have everything we need though, so we will need to setup some more modules. For this, we will use the excellent local::lib to avoid putting stuff that's not Debian maintianed in our system (and keeping it in our home directory)
cd ~ wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/A/AP/APEIRON/local-lib-1.004009.tar.gz tar xzf local-lib-1.004009.tar.gz cd local-lib-1.004009 perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap make test make install echo 'eval $(perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib)' >>~/.bashrc . ~/.bashrc
This is just what it says to do on the local::lib CPAN page. Now, lets jump back in to installing the Perl modules we need (fullow the prompts you get on screen):
perl Makefile.pl make installdeps
If you get tired of saying "yes" what a dependency is encountered, you might want to do this:
cpan o conf prerequisites_policy follow o conf commit quit
