################


1. Choose a directory where to install the software, e.g. /opt :

$ cd /opt


2. Get the repositories of the core, the frondend and the web application
   framework WebMCP:

$ hg clone http://www.public-software-group.org/mercurial/liquid_feedback_core
$ hg clone http://www.public-software-group.org/mercurial/liquid_feedback_frontend
$ hg clone http://www.public-software-group.org/mercurial/webmcp


3. Install LiquidFeedback Core:

$ cd /opt/liquid_feedback_core
$ make
$ createdb liquid_feedback
$ psql -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 -f core.sql liquid_feedback

You should initiatize your database using the command
"psql liquid_feedback" and the examples shown in file "init.sql".


4. Compile WebMCP

$ cd /opt/webmcp
$ make

If you experience trouble during compilation, you might want to edit the
file "Makefile.options" (i.e. to add -fPIC to compiler options) and then
retry:

$ vi Makefile.options
$ make clean
$ make


5. Install Wiki-to-HTML converters

Download latest LiquidFeedback Edition of RocketWiki from
http://www.public-software-group.org/pub/projects/rocketwiki/liquid_feedback_edition/

Compile the binaries by calling make, and copy them to a place of your
choice, e.g. /opt/rocketwiki-lqfb/


6. Configure the webserver and the LiquidFeedback Frontend application:

Edit the configuration files in /opt/liquid_feedback_frontend/config/

Use /opt/webmcp/doc/lighttpd.example.conf (or apache.sample.conf) to setup
your webserver appropriatly.


7. Compile help messages from wiki to html

cd /opt/liquid_feedback_frontend/locale/
make

or by hand:

for file in *.txt; do /opt/rocketwiki-lqfb/rocketwiki-lqfb < $file > $file.html; done
