Installing Geonode in a debian lenny platform

GeoNode is an open source platform that facilitates the creation, sharing, and collaborative use of geospatial data.

• Step 1. In first time, you need to install and purge some packages:

   sudo aptitude install git-arch subversion libgeos-dev gdal-bin g++ make ant zlib-bin zlib1g-dev libreadline5-dev tcl8.5-dev tk8.5-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev libbz2-dev libgdbm-dev
   
   sudo aptitude purge gij-4.3 bsh bsh-gcj java-gcj-compat java-gcj-compat-headless libbcel-java libhsqldb-java libhsqldb-java-gcj libjaxp1.3-java libjaxp1.3-java-gcj libjline-java liblog4j1.2-java libmx4j-java libregexp-java libservlet2.4-java libxalan2-java libxalan2-java-gcj libxerces2-java libxerces2-java-gcj openoffice.org openoffice.org-base openoffice.org-evolution openoffice.org-filter-mobiledev openoffice.org-gcj openoffice.org-java-common openoffice.org-officebean openoffice.org-report-builder-bin openoffice.org-writer2latex

• Step 2. Install sun-java. You need modfy /etc/apt/sources.list and add non-free to the Debian Lenny repositories:

  deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main
  deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main
   
  deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ lenny main non-free
  deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main non-free

  and run:

  sudo aptitude update
  sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jdk

• Step 3. Download, compile and install python 2.6.

  wget http://python.org/ftp/python/2.6.6/Python-2.6.6.tar.bz2
  tar -xvjf Python-2.6.6.tar.bz2
  cd Python-2.6.6
  ./configure --with-threads --enable-shared
  make -j 2
  sudo make install
  sudo ln -s /usr/include/libpython2.6.so.1.0 /usr/lib/
  sudo ln -s /usr/include/libpython2.6.so /usr

  To run python -V and you would get:
  Python 2.6.6

• Step 4. Download, compile and install maven

  wget http://www.carfab.com/apachesoftware//maven/binaries/apache-maven-2.2.1-bin.tar.gz
  sudo tar -xvzf apache-maven-2.2.1-bin.tar.gz -C /usr/local/

  Add at the end of ~/.bashrc file

  export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/apache-maven-2.2.1/bin/
  export JAVA_HOME=/usr

  and run:

  source ~/.bashrc

  so, you would to get when run mvn -v:

  Apache Maven 2.2.1 (r801777; 2009-08-06 14:46:01-0430)
  Java version: 1.6.0_22
  Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.22/jre
  Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
  OS name: "linux" version: "2.6.26-2-686" arch: "i386" Family: "unix"

• Step 5. Installing geonode. The first thing is clone the repository:

  git clone git://github.com/GeoNode/geonode.git geonode

  then,

  cd geonode
  git submodule update --init
  python bootstrap.py --no-site-packages
  source bin/activate
  paver build
  django-admin.py createsuperuser --settings=geonode.settings
  paver host

Development GeoNode should be running at http://localhost:8000/
