Notice: You may want to check the Getting Started with APE page first, for a better understanding.

[edit] Requirements

A Linux (with a kernel 2.6.16+) or MacOS X 10.3 computer, or a Windows computer with VirtualBox.

[edit] Installing APE

[edit] Installing from the Binary Package

Just unpack the package you downloaded. You can now go to Configure APE

[edit] Installing from the Debian Package

If you are on Ubuntu, just click on the .DEB package, or on the command line (as root) enter:

APE:~# dpkg -i ape-1.0.i386.deb

You can now go to Configure APE.

[edit] Installing from the RPM (RPM Package Manager)

If you are on an RPM-compatible Linux system, just click on the .RPM package, or on the command line...

for i386 (as root) enter:

APE:~# rpm -Uvh APE_Server-1.0.i386.rpm

or for x86 64 (also as root) enter:

APE:-# rpm -Uvh APE_Server-1.0.x86_64.rpm

For instructions on how to install the server as a daemon to be started automatically upon login, or otherwise, go to Centos/Red Hat/Fedora Startup Script.

You can now go to Configure APE.

Fedora/RHEL/CentOS users, there is no yum command available for this; instead, use the RPM as above or install from the binary using the binary installation instructions, also above.

[edit] Installing from source or git

Grab a fresh copy of the latest APE Server and APE JSF source from github or from the download page

Please download the latest master or 1.0 and not 0.9 or previous beta. If you don't know how to use git, there's a "download" button on github. Use it.

[edit] Download dependencies

If you are on Debian or Ubuntu, just install: build-essential and libmysqlclient-dev

[edit] Building from source on MacOS X

[edit] Requirements

Requirements you will need to satisfy in order to complete the installation:

• Xcode (download it on apple website)
• mysql5-devel(via macports)

Don't forget to create a symlink from /usr/include/mysql to /opt/local/include/mysql5

# ln -s /opt/local/include/mysql5/mysql /usr/include/mysql

Beware, the default symlink created by macports is incorrect, as it points to /opt/local/include/mysql5 and not /opt/local/include/mysql5/mysql
