The MusicBrainz Server is not available as an executable application. Setting up the server will require you to checkout the <code>mb_server</code> code from Subversion and manually follow the INSTALL file's directions. |
|||
You can browse the <code>mb_server</code> Subversion repository directly using the [http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/browser/mb_server/ source browser]. |
|||
==Setup instructions== |
|||
# If you are a MusicBrainz developer use [http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/browser/mb_server/trunk/INSTALL /trunk/INSTALL] ''(potentially unstable)''. |
|||
# For everyone else use [http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/browser/mb_server/branches/RELEASE_20090524-BRANCH/INSTALL /branches/RELEASE_20090524-BRANCH/INSTALL] ''(latest stable release)''. |
|||
# If you just want a running database (i.e. no website frontend) see the [[Database Setup|database setup]] guide instead. |
|||
# Additionally, if you want to setup your own search server instead of having to query <code>search.musicbrainz.org</code>, use the <code>search_server</code> [http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/browser/search_server/trunk/README README]. |
|||
An alternate option is to install a [[Virtual MusicBrainz Server|virtual MusicBrainz server]]. The virtual image comes fully configured with a Linux environment and the latest stable release of the <code>mb_server</code> source code. |
|||
The requirements may look daunting, but please don't let this discourage you; the INSTALL/README files are thorough and contain a lot of information, and we are willing to provide assistance. If you have questions about installing, join us in the [http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=musicbrainz #musicbrainz IRC channel] or post a question on the [[Developers Mailing List|developers mailing list]] and we will attempt to help you out. |
|||
We recommend that you dive in and give it a try - who knows how far you'll get and what you might learn along the way! |
|||
==Requirements== |
|||
In order to set up a running MusicBrainz server with the full database you will need: |
|||
* A linux box, preferably Ubuntu, that is a PIII-700 or better with 256MB RAM. |
|||
* 8GB of free disk space, (if you are a developer and only want the server code and database structure 2GB is more than enough). |
|||
* [[Subversion]] knowledge which will enable you to check out the source code. |
|||
As a developer the following knowledge/skills are beneficial: |
|||
* Apache, Perl, mod_perl, PostgreSQL and a number of perl modules. |
|||
* How to compile and install packages from source on a Linux box. |
|||
* How to patch existing packages, although we can help you out if you have questions about that. |
|||
Note: The server has ''never been ported to Windows'', and we suspect that it would be a fair amount of work to make that happen. |
|||
==License== |
|||
The <code>mb_server</code> is licensed under the [http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GPL (Gnu Public License)]. |
