Koha is a free and open-source Integrated Library System (ILS). It provides comprehensive solutions for library automation, including circulation, cataloging, and the management of electronic resources. If you're looking to install Koha on the latest version of Clear Linux, then follow these steps:
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
To install Koha on Clear Linux, you'll first need to install some required packages. Open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo swupd bundle-add perl-basic mysql python3-basic
Enter your password when prompted and wait for the installation to complete.
Next, download the Koha installation script from the Koha Community website:
wget -O - https://deb.koha-community.org/koha.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo 'deb http://deb.koha-community.org/koha stable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install koha-common
This will add the Koha repository to your system and install the necessary packages.
Once the installation is complete, you'll need to configure Koha. Run the following command to open the Koha configuration script:
sudo koha-create --create-db
This will guide you through the configuration process. You'll need to enter details such as your library's name, location, and time zone. You'll also need to set up the database and create a Koha administrator account.
Finally, start the Koha services by running the following command:
sudo koha-start-zebra
sudo systemctl start koha-common.service
This will start the Zebra indexing service and Koha web server. You can access Koha by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080 or http://your_ip_address:8080 if accessing remotely.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Koha on Clear Linux Latest. You can now start managing your library's resources with Koha. Happy libraring!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
