Installing on Debian

Versions

These instructions are for Debian Lenny 5.0 or Squeeze 6.0. You will need to make sure that your username is on the sudo authorized list located at '/etc/sudoers'.

Build Tools

To install build tools, run the following (includes the gcc and xml parsing dependencies):

sudo apt-get install build-essential libxslt1.1 libxslt1-dev libxml2 libreadline5-dev

CURL

You need to install the "dev" headers.

To install them, run the following:

sudo apt-get install curl libcurl4-openssl-dev

Git

To install Git on Debian 6.0, run the following:

sudo apt-get install git-core

To install Git 1.7 on Debian 5.0, add Debian Backports repository and install it. Instructions: http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/

sudo apt-get install -t lenny-backports git-core

Ruby

RVM

You can install Ruby on a clean per user basis via RVM. This is currently recommended to get the latest Rubygems version.

curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

# load rvm here - search the output of previous command

rvm install 1.9.3-p125 # install correct ruby version

These instructions are from https://rvm.io/rvm/install/.

You still need a system Ruby so run:

sudo apt-get install ruby-full

To install RVM and Ruby 1.9.3, as your normal user (the one which Diaspora should run under), run (I was getting an error so I had to run curl -k which told me to "echo insecure >> ~/.curlrc")

For Debian 6.0 users who wish to install Ruby 1.9.3 (or any edition for that matter) on RVM, compile may fail due to openssl version higher than 1.0.0. For that, run:

rvm pkg install openssl

rvm remove ruby-1.9.3-p125 #just in case

rvm install ruby-1.9.3-p125 --with-openssl-dir=$rvm_path/usr

MySQL

This installs MySQL, you also need the libmysqlclient-dev and libmysql-ruby packages.

sudo apt-get install mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev libmysql-ruby

PostgreSQL

This installs libraries for PostgreSQL support.

sudo apt-get install libpq-dev libpq5

OpenSSL

You already have OpenSSL installed but you need the libssl-dev and libopenssl-ruby package too:

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libopenssl-ruby

For Debian 6.0 and later, libopenssl-ruby is provided through the virtual package libruby or libruby1.8.

ImageMagick

To install ImageMagick, run the following:

sudo apt-get install imagemagick libmagick9-dev

Note that libmagick9-dev is provided through libmagickwand-dev.

Redis

NOTE: I have Diaspora running with the Debian 6 stable repositories version of redis-server, without any problems - joaomlneto (jd.com user: anatoly)

Debian 6.0 stable repositories have an older version of Redis. If you are running Debian Testing, you can use the repository:

sudo apt-get install redis-server

Otherwise, if you're running Stable, you should get the newest version directly. If you're running a 64-bit system, run:

wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/redis/redis-server_2.4.9-1_amd64.deb -O redis-server.deb

wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/j/jemalloc/libjemalloc1_2.2.5-2_amd64.deb -O libjemalloc1.deb

If you're running a 32-bit system, run:

wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/redis/redis-server_2.4.9-1_i386.deb -O redis-server.deb

wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/j/jemalloc/libjemalloc1_2.2.5-2_i386.deb -O libjemalloc1.deb

Then install the corresponding package

sudo dpkg -i libjemalloc1.deb

sudo dpkg -i redis-server.deb

Note about libjemalloc1 on Debian Squeeze

If you have problems getting the required lib multiarch-support installed, try installing it with aptitude and reinstall redis-server:

sudo aptitude install multiarch-support

sudo aptitude install redis-server

RubyGems

Not needed for a RVM installation. To install RubyGems, run the following:

wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/rubygems/rubygems_1.8.24-1_all.deb -O rubygems.deb && sudo dpkg -i rubygems.deb

Bundler

To install Bundler, run the following, (skip the sudo for a RVM installation):

sudo gem install bundler

If you installed via RVM and gem is not found, run the following

bash -l

rvm use ruby-1.9.3-p125@global

To get bundle to work with the system Ruby, you might need to make a symbolic link:

sudo ln -s /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/bundle /usr/local/bin/bundle

This is not needed on Debian 5.0 when ruby is installed from source.

ffi

Note: If you get an error in the next step try to run

sudo apt-get install libffi-ruby libffi-dev

and try the step again.

SQLite libraries and header files

sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

NodeJS

You will also need nodejs. Currently this is not available in the stable release of debian 6 so here are instructions on installing from source.

git clone https://github.com/joyent/node.git

cd node

git checkout v0.6.8

./configure --openssl-libpath=/usr/lib/ssl

make

make test

sudo make install

These instructions are from http://sekati.com/etc/install-nodejs-on-debian-squeeze

Last of all, you need to install the execjs gem

sudo gem install execjs

Congrats! You have all your dependencies installed. Go back to Installing and Running Diaspora.
