  5. Click on the Add Sources button

  6. Click on Close button

Install the packages:

  1. From the System menu, choose Administration/Synaptic Package Manager

  2. Locate the openoffice.org package and right-click, selecting Mark for Installation or Mark for Upgrade (depending on if you have an earlier version or not).

  3. Click on the Apply button in the toolbar to install the package.

Install the Python packages

  1. Type the following command within a command prompt:

    sudo aptitude install subversion python-paste python-imaging python-libxml2 
    sudo aptitude install python-libxslt1 python-setuptools python-svn python-twisted-web python-uno 
    sudo aptitude install python2.5-dev python-cheetah python-gdata python-textile python-openid python-lxml

  2. Install the foresite toolkit using the following commands:

    sudo easy_install-2.5 -U rdflib==2.4.0
    wget http://foresite-toolkit.googlecode.com/files/foresite-1.1.tgz 
    tar xzvf foresite-0.9.tgz
    cd ${FORESITE_SRC_DIR}
    sudo python ./setup.py install

  3. Install the PyLucene library using the following commands:

    wget http://downloads.osafoundation.org/PyLucene/linux/ubuntu/7.04/PyLucene-2.2.0-1.tar.gz
    tar zxvf PyLucene-2.2.0-1.tar.gz
    sudo cp -r PyLucene-2.2.0-1/python/ /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/

Install jcc

sudo easy_install jcc

Install pylucene

  1. The Pylucene that comes with Ubuntu 9.04 is compatible with Python2.5, so the version that's compatible with Python2.6 is required.

    cd ~/downloads
    wget http://apache.wildit.net.au/lucene/pylucene/pylucene-2.4.1-1-src.tar.gz
    tar -zxvf pylucene-2.4.1-1-src.tar.gz
    cd pylucene-2.4.1-1
    pushd jcc
    sudo apt-get install patch
    sudo apt-get install ant

  2. Apply patch

    sudo patch -d –Nup0 /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages <  ~/downloads/pylucene-2.4.1-1/jcc/jcc/patches/patch.43
    python setup.py build
    sudo python setup.py install
    popd

  3. Edit the Makefile to match the Ubuntu environment by uncommenting and editing lines below #Linux Ubuntu version 8.10 etc)

    PREFIX_PYTHON=/usr
    ANT=ant
    PYTHON=$(PREFIX_PYTHON)/bin/python
    JCC=$(PYTHON) /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/JCC-2.2-py2.6-linux-i686.egg/jcc/__init__.py --shared
    NUM_FILES=2

  4. If using a proxy (optional)

    edit ~/.subversion

    add http-proxy-host and http-proxy-port

  5. Continue with the installation

    make
    sudo make install

  6. Turn off proxy (optional)

    edit ~/.subversion

    comment out http-proxy-host and http-proxy-port

Install foresite

wget http://foresite-toolkit.googlecode.com/files/foresite-1.1.tgz
tar xzvf foresite-1.1.tgz
cd ${FORESITE_SRC_DIR}
sudo python setup.py install

Ubuntu 9.10

Basically the same as for Ubuntu 9.04, but note the following changes for installation of pylucene and jcc.

Install jcc

sudo easy_install jcc

Note: the installation path (e.g. /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/JCC-2.4-py2.6-linux-i686.egg )

Install pylucene

  1. Download pylucene

    cd ~/downloads
    wget http://apache.wildit.net.au/lucene/pylucene/pylucene-2.9.0-1-src.tar.gz
    tar -zxvf pylucene-2.9.0-1-src.tar.gz
    cd pylucene-2.9.0-1
    pushd jcc
    sudo apt-get install patch
    sudo apt-get install ant

  2. Apply patch

    sudo patch -d –Nup0 /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages <  ~/downloads/pylucene-2.4.1-1/jcc/jcc/patches/patch.43
    python setup.py build
    sudo python setup.py install
    popd

  3. Edit the Makefile to match the Ubuntu environment by uncommenting and editing lines below #Linux Ubuntu version 8.10 etc)

    PREFIX_PYTHON=/usr
    ANT=ant
    PYTHON=$(PREFIX_PYTHON)/bin/python
    JCC=$(PYTHON) /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/JCC-2.4-py2.6-linux-i686.egg/jcc/__init__.py --shared
    NUM_FILES=2

Note: the above JCC path should be the same as where easy_install installed JCC.

  1. Install pylucene

    make 
    sudo make install
