Installing agriMoodle is generally easy if you already have a hosting provider or test machine with basic support for Apache, PHP and MySQL. Just get the zip file with all the code from https://github.com/agroknow/agrimoodle/archive/master.zip, fire your browser and open the install.php
page. Follow the instructions, provide some parameters and you should be up and running in less that 5 minutes.
The cool and modern way to setup an agriMoodle instance is to have a custom-built image that you can use to deploy on your favourite cloud infrastructure.
It involves a straight-forward, 3 steps procedure:
- Send us an e-mail at [email protected], or personally to agriMoodle's team lead, Tasos [email protected]. Describe in this e-mail your cloud infrastructure and VM's specifications (e.g. Amazon, micro instance).
- We'll prepare a VM image and send you the link for downloading, along with specific instructions.
- You use your cloud infrastructure control panel to deploy the image!
Be warned: opting to follow the fun way would need to get the hacker out of you and could lead to a certain degree of frustration.
- Prepare your host environment. You'd preferably have a LAMP setup (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) but you could do away with a WAMP (Windows and the rest).
- You also need git, at least if you'd like to be able to commit back to the source code any of your hacks!
- Enter https://github.com/agroknow/agrimoodle, find the "read only" URL for the code repository and copy it to your clipboard. Well, OK, here it is for your convenience: git://github.com/agroknow/agrimoodle.git
- Use it to clone the whole repository into your host machine: Enter
git clone git://github.com/agroknow/agrimoodle.git
in your command line or use your git gui client of choice! - Fire-up your browser and visit install.php:
http://your.serv.er/path/to/agrimoodle/install.php
- Follow the instructions and provide the configuration details.
- Let Moodle update itself with the latest and greatest fixes from the core as well as the modules that are integrated in agriMoodle.
- You should then fill in the details for the Administrator's profile, including the username and password. Take care to note these down!
- Give the name and a short description for your agriMoodle instance. Check the default configuration and change anything if you feel son.
- That's all! After a while you should be looking the green welcome page of agriMoodle. You can now enjoy your success and take a breath before starting to configure and administer you new agriMoodle instance!
