Using binary packages for Ubuntu/Debian is highly recommended.

Do

echo 'deb http://codak.sf.net/deb stable/' \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/codak.list

to enable the CoDAK repository, and, optionally,

curl http://codak.sourceforge.net/deb/key.asc \
| apt-key add

to avoid verification warnings during installation. Type

sudo apt-get update

to update the package lists.

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

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.
