Installing Koha from the Ubuntu Command Line: Scripts
Yes, this page needs work to make it look less ugly. But the information's here.
One difficulty with installing Koha from the Ubuntu command line is that you have to type in some fairly complicated scripts. Like all operating systems, Ubuntu will do exactly what you type in, not what you wanted to type in but you got something wrong. In addition, Ubuntu is case-sensitive, so "a" and "A" are two separate things.
In an attempt to make Koha easier to install, I have written some scripts that will type in the complicated commands for you. All you have to do is type
./scriptname
and the command will be executed. To install the scripts on your computer, first make yourself a superuser as shown in the video. Then type
wget -i http://www.avengingchicken.online/koha/scripts.txt
Then you have to change the file permissions so you can run the scripts. Type
chmod 777 *
