Getting started

This page describes the installation procedure of CoDAK on Debian/Ubuntu. For now, CoDAK is not packaged for any other OS.

To install, follow the steps below.

Enable the CoDAK repository

The following command will enable the CoDAK repository on your system (NOTE: the repository has moved - Oct 18, 2011).

echo 'deb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/codak/deb experimental main' \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/codak.list

Download and install

Update the local package database:

sudo apt-get update

For a basic CoDAK installation, type:

sudo apt-get install codak-core

To install also the (optional) terms extension, type:

sudo apt-get install codak-terms

Setup CoDAK

To complete the installation:

1. Point your browser to http://localhost:8080/codak/setup.vm. This will produce an error in your browser, saying that the page is protected.
2. Unlock the page by creating an empty file with a name as instructed.
3. Refresh the page in your browser.
4. Choose 'install database', which will setup the database and create an admin account.
5. Review the actions and remember the password of the 'admin' account. If you forgot it, you may reset the password by going back to this page and select 'reset admin account'.
6. Disable the setup page by removing the unlock file.
7. Go to http://localhost:8080/codak/ and start using your brand new CoDAK installation.

Install Frog

A Frog module is included in the codak-core package, but Frog itself must be installed separately for the module to work. Frog and its dependencies can be downloaded and installed from source by running its installation script:

install-ilktools
