{{#CustomTitle:Installing a server}}

Back to Gestinux installation

If you do not want to use a database hosted in the internet, Gestinux requires either MySql Server (>= 5.0) or PostgreSQL Server (>= 8.4) installed on your local system, or on any server your network can access.

The easiest installation is setting up MySql on Linux.

The power of current computers means you will still have spare processing capacity after installing a server locally.

You must have an administrator account before you can install.

The following is a short guide to installing either MySql or PostgresSQL. For more details, please refer to the official documentation.

To install MySql server :

  • On Ubuntu :
    • Use Synaptic to install the package mysql-server.
    • Confirm a few options
    • You can enter a blank password for the root account if you are evaluating.
  • On Windows :
    • Go to the mysql download page
    • Download the appropriate installer (in most cases, the first one)
    • Execute the setup.exe, using a privileged account.
    • You can accept the default options
    • You can choose a standard configuration
    • A non-blank root password is required: Remember it !

To install PostgreSQL server :

  • On Ubuntu :
    • Install the package postgresql
  • On Windows
    • To be documented...
