User:RobertKaye/Minimal NGS Installation With Ubuntu

Using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (lucid) it is possible to install MusicBrainz NGS with only debian packages! No installation of Perl modules by hand or via CPAN is required.

To install your own copy, following these instructions:

1. Install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (lucid). Downloading the server version is best for this case since it doesn't install a whole bunch of unnecessary stuff.
2. Once linux is installed, install these modules via apt-get:

apt-get install git-core postgresql postgresql-contrib postgresql-client postgresql-server-dev-8.4 libicu-dev libdbd-pg-perl libstring-shellquote-perl \ libaliased-perl libmoose-perl libpq-dev libtest-mockmodule-perl libparse-method-signatures-perl libscope-upper-perl libextutils-depends-perl \ libdevel-declare-perl libb-hooks-op-check-perl libb-hooks-op-ppaddr-perl libb-hooks-endofscope-perl libvariable-magic-perl

1. Install two custom .deb packages by hand:
   1. http://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/ngs/libdbix-connector-perl_0.42-1_all.deb
   2. http://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/ngs/libtrycatch-perl_1.003000-1_i386.deb
