INSTALLATION

This is a very brieftly installation guide of the epiPATH software versions 1 and 1.1, which included the database schema and database management tools implemented in our previous web user interface. You can have more detailed instructions about installation and configuration in the epiPATH Manual that is included in each distribution. 

1 :: Installation and configuration of software requirements.

epiPATH requires to have installed the following programs: MySQL (5.0 or later), PHP, HTTP Apache server, MySQL Query Browser. For more details about installation and configuration, see the epiPATH manual.

2 :: Choose one type of distribution: 'With views' or 'Without views'.

A view is a logical table composed of the result set of a query and are implemented in MySQL software (5.0 or later). Here, we use views as parts of the database schema that can be accessed by different users. The 'With views' distribution allows to create different logical schemas more appropiate for each user. The 'Without views' distribution does not allow views.

3 :: Install database schema with MySQL Query Browser.

Once MySQL is installed, you have to create two databases: 'molecular_epidemiology' and 'dbcontrol_molepi'. Open MySQL Query Browser and execute the database schema scripts, one for each database.

4 :: Download and uncompress the distribution package with the web interface files.

In a Windows system either with WinZIP or WinRAR could be unzipped and in a Linux system you can: gunzip distribution_package.tar.gz; and then: tar -xvf distribution_package.tar

5 :: Copy the file tree structure under the apache server file.
