    13 Trac is a lightweight project management tool that is implemented as a web-based application. Trac is written in the Python programming language and can use [http://sqlite.org/ SQLite] or [http://www.postgresql.org/ PostgreSQL] as  database. For HTML rendering, Trac uses the [http://www.clearsilver.net/ Clearsilver] templating system.
     4Trac is written in the Python programming language and needs a database, [http://sqlite.org/ SQLite], [http://www.postgresql.org/ PostgreSQL], or [http://mysql.com/ MySQL]. For HTML rendering, Trac uses the [http://genshi.edgewall.org Genshi] templating system.

    15 What follows are generic instructions for installing and setting up Trac and its requirements. While you can find instructions for installing Trac on specific systems at [http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/TracInstallPlatforms TracInstallPlatforms] on the main Trac site, please be sure to first read through these general instructions to get a good understanding of the tasks involved.
     6What follows are generic instructions for installing and setting up Trac and its requirements. While you can find instructions for installing Trac on specific systems at TracInstallPlatforms on the main Trac site, please be sure to '''first read through these general instructions''' to get a good understanding of the tasks involved.
    167
    17 == Requirements ==
     8== Short - Install a released version ==
     9For the quick install, make sure you have [http://python.org Python-2.5], [http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#installing-easy-install easy_install] and SQlite-3.3.4 installed (or above).
     10{{{
     11sudo easy_install Trac==0.11
     12}}}
     13
     14== Requirements - also older versions possible ==
    1815
    1916To install Trac, the following software packages must be installed:
    2017
    21  * [http://www.python.org/ Python], version &amp;gt;= 2.3.
    22    * Python 2.4 is not supported on Windows since there are no Subversion bindings available for it.
     18 * [http://www.python.org/ Python], version >= 2.3
     19   * if using mod_python together with xml-related things, use python-2.5. expat is namespaced there and does not cause apache to crash any more(see [http://www.dscpl.com.au/wiki/ModPython/Articles/ExpatCausingApacheCrash here] for details).
    2320   * For RPM-based systems you might also need the `python-devel` and `python-xml` packages.
    24  * [http://subversion.tigris.org/ Subversion], version &amp;gt;= 1.0. (&amp;gt;= 1.1 recommended) and corresponding [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook-1.1/ch08s02.html#svn-ch-8-sect-2.3 Python bindings]
    25    * Trac uses the [http://www.swig.org/ SWIG] bindings included in the Subversion distribution, '''not''' [http://pysvn.tigris.org/ PySVN] (which is sometimes confused with the standard SWIG bindings).
    26    * If Subversion was already installed without the SWIG bindings, you'll need to re-`configure` Subversion and `make swig-py`, `make install-swig-py`.
    27  * [http://www.clearsilver.net/ ClearSilver], version &amp;gt;= 0.9.3
    28    * With python-bindings (`./configure --with-python=/usr/bin/python`)
     21   * See instructions in ["TracOnWindows/Python2.5"]
     22 * [http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools setuptools], version >= 0.6
     23 * [http://genshi.edgewall.org/wiki/Download Genshi], version >= 0.4.1
     24 * You also need a database system and the corresponding python drivers for it.
     25   The database can be either SQLite, PostgreSQL or ''MySQL (experimental)''.
     26 * optional if some plugins require it: [http://www.clearsilver.net/ ClearSilver]
    2927
    3028=== For SQLite ===
    3129
    32  * [http://www.sqlite.org/ SQLite], version 2.8.x or 3.x
    33  * [http://pysqlite.org/ PySQLite]
    34    * version 1.0.x (for SQLite 2.8.x)
    35    * version 1.1.x or 2.x (for SQLite 3.x)
     30 * [http://www.sqlite.org/ SQLite], version 3.3.4 and above preferred.
     31 * If not using Python-2.5: [http://pysqlite.org/ PySQLite], version 1.x (for SQLite 2.x) or version 2.x (for SQLite 3.x), version 2.3.2 preferred. For details see PySqlite
     32
     33''Note: It appears that PySQLite 2.x is required for Trac 0.9+/SQLite 3.x if you plan to use the 'trac-post-commit-hook.py' script available from the 'contrib' section of the source repository.''
     34
     35''Note: Users of Mac OS X please take care; the Apple-supplied SQLite contains additional code to support file locking on network filesystems like AFP or SMB. This is not presently (3.3.6) in the mainline sources, so if you build your own SQLite from source it will not function correctly on such filesystems - typically it gives the error "{{{database is locked}}}". [http://www.alastairs-place.net/2006/07/sqlite_and_mac/ A patch] is available for version 3.3.6, based on Apple's code, otherwise you're probably best off using the Apple supplied version (presently 3.1.3).''
    3636
    3737=== For PostgreSQL ===
    3838
    3939 * [http://www.postgresql.org/ PostgreSQL]
    40  * [http://initd.org/projects/psycopg1 psycopg1], [http://initd.org/projects/psycopg2 psycopg2], or [http://pypgsql.sourceforge.net/ pyPgSQL]
     40 * [http://initd.org/projects/psycopg2 psycopg2] or [http://pypgsql.sourceforge.net/ pyPgSQL]
     41
     42'''Warning''': PostgreSQL 8.3 uses a strict type checking mechanism. To use Trac with the 8.3 Version of PostgreSQL, you will need [http://trac.edgewall.org/changeset/6512 trac-0.11] or later.
     43
     44=== For MySQL ===
     45
     46'''Warning''': MySQL support is currently ''still'' experimental. That means it works for some people, but several issues remain, in particular regarding the use of unicode and the key length in the repository cache. See MySqlDb for more detailed information.
     47
     48 * [http://mysql.com/ MySQL], version 4.1 or later
     49 * [http://sf.net/projects/mysql-python MySQLdb], version 1.2.1 or later
    4150
    4251=== Optional Requirements ===
    4352
     53==== Version Control System ====
     54
     55'''Please note:''' if using Subversion, Trac must be installed on the '''same machine'''. Remote repositories are currently not supported.
     56
     57 * [http://subversion.tigris.org/ Subversion], version >= 1.0. (versions recommended: 1.2.4, 1.3.2 or 1.4.2) and the '''''corresponding''''' Python bindings. For troubleshooting, check TracSubversion
     58   * Trac uses the [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook-1.1/ch08s02.html#svn-ch-8-sect-2.3 SWIG] bindings included in the Subversion distribution, '''not''' [http://pysvn.tigris.org/ PySVN] (which is sometimes confused with the standard SWIG bindings).
     59   * If Subversion was already installed without the SWIG bindings, on Unix you'll need to re-`configure` Subversion and `make swig-py`, `make install-swig-py`.
     60   * There are [http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=91 pre-compiled bindings] available for win32.
     61 * Support for other version control systems is provided via third-parties. See PluginList and VersioningSystemBackend.
     62
     63==== Web Server ====
    4464 * A CGI-capable web server (see TracCgi), or
    4565 * a [http://www.fastcgi.com/ FastCGI]-capable web server (see TracFastCgi), or
     66 * [http://httpd.apache.org/ Apache] with [http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/ mod_wsgi] (see [wiki:TracModWSGI])
     67    * This should work with Apache 1.3, 2.0 or 2.2 and promises to deliver more performance than using mod_python. A little less mature than mod_python.
    4668 * [http://httpd.apache.org/ Apache] with [http://www.modpython.org/ mod_python 3.1.3+] (see TracModPython)
    47  * [http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools setuptools], version &amp;gt;= 0.5a13 for using plugins (see TracPlugins)
    48  * [http://docutils.sourceforge.net/ docutils], version &amp;gt;= 0.3.3 for WikiRestructuredText.
    49  * [http://silvercity.sourceforge.net/ SilverCity] and/or [http://www.gnu.org/software/enscript/enscript.html Enscript] for [wiki:TracSyntaxColoring syntax highlighting].
     69    * When installing mod_python the development versions of Python and Apache are required (actually the libraries and header files)
    5070
    51 '''Attention''': The various available versions of these dependencies are not necessarily interchangable, so please pay attention to the version numbers above. If you are having trouble getting Trac to work please double-check all the dependencies before asking for help on the [http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/MailingList MailingList] or [http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/IrcChannel IrcChannel].
     71For those stuck with Apache 1.3, it is also possible to get Trac working with [http://www.modpython.org/ mod_python 2.7] (see [wiki:TracModPython2.7 TracModPython2.7]). This guide hasn't been updated since 0.84, so it may or may not work.
    5272
    53 Please refer to the documentation of these packages to find out how they are best installed. In addition, most of the [http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/TracInstallPlatforms platform-specific instructions] also describe the installation of the dependencies.
     73==== Other Python Utilities ====
     74 * [http://docutils.sourceforge.net/ docutils], version >= 0.3.9 for WikiRestructuredText.
     75 * [http://pygments.pocoo.org Pygments] for [wiki:TracSyntaxColoring syntax highlighting], also [http://silvercity.sourceforge.net/ SilverCity] and/or [http://gnu.org/software/enscript/enscript.html Enscript] may still be used.
     76    * Note that !SilverCity 0.9.6 has a [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1424436&group_id=45693&atid=443739 bug] that breaks Python syntax highlighting in Trac. Until an update is made available, we recommend using version 0.9.5.
     77 * [http://pytz.sf.net pytz] to get a complete list of time zones, otherwise Trac will fall back on a shorter list from an internal time zone implementation.
     78
     79'''Attention''': The various available versions of these dependencies are not necessarily interchangable, so please pay attention to the version numbers above. If you are having trouble getting Trac to work please double-check all the dependencies before asking for help on the MailingList or IrcChannel.
     80
     81Please refer to the documentation of these packages to find out how they are best installed. In addition, most of the [wiki:TracInstallPlatforms platform-specific instructions] also describe the installation of the dependencies. Keep in mind however that the information there ''probably concern older versions of Trac than the one you're installing'' (there are even some pages that are still talking about Trac 0.8!).
    5482
    5583== Installing Trac ==
    5684
    57 Like most Python programs, the Trac Python package is installed by running the following command at the top of the source directory:
     85One way to install Trac is using `setuptools`.
     86With setuptools you can install Trac from the subversion repository; for example,
     87to install release version 0.11b2 do:
     88{{{
     89easy_install http://svn.edgewall.org/repos/trac/tags/trac-0.11b2
     90}}}
     91
     92But of course the python-typical setup at the top of the source directory also works:
    5893{{{
    5994$ python ./setup.py install
    … …  
    6297''Note: you'll need root permissions or equivalent for this step.''
    6398
    64 This will byte-compile the python source code and install it in the `site-packages` directory
    65 of your Python installation. The directories `cgi-bin`, `templates`, `htdocs`, `wiki-default` and `wiki-macros` are all copied to `$prefix/share/trac/.`
     99This will byte-compile the python source code and install it as an .egg file or folder in the `site-packages` directory
     100of your Python installation. The .egg will also contain all other resources needed by standard Trac, such as htdocs and templates.
    66101
    67102The script will also install the [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] command-line tool, used to create and maintain [wiki:TracEnvironment project environments], as well as the [wiki:TracStandalone tracd] standalone server.
    68103
    69 === Advanced Users ===
     104=== Advanced Options ===
    70105
    71106To install Trac to a custom location, or find out about other advanced installation options, run:
    72107{{{
    73 $ python ./setup.py --help
     108easy_install --help
    74109}}}
     110
     111Also see [http://docs.python.org/inst/inst.html Installing Python Modules] for detailed information.
    75112
    76113Specifically, you might be interested in:
    77114{{{
    78 $ python ./setup.py install --prefix=/path/you/want
     115easy_install --prefix=/path/to/installdir
     116}}}
     117or, if installing Trac to a Mac OS X system:
     118{{{
     119easy_install --prefix=/usr/local --install-dir=/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages
    79120}}}
    80121
     122The above will place your `tracd` and `trac-admin` commands into `/usr/local/bin` and will install the Trac libraries and dependencies into `/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages`, which is Apple's preferred location for third-party Python application installations.
    81123
    82124== Creating a Project Environment ==
    … …  
    86128A new environment is created using [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin]:
    87129{{{
    88 $ trac-admin /path/to/trac_project_env initenv
     130$ trac-admin /path/to/myproject initenv
    89131}}}
    90132
    91 [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] will prompt you for the information it needs to create the environment, such as the name of the project, the path to an existing subversion repository, the [wiki:TracEnvironment#DatabaseConnectionStrings database connection string], and so on. If you're not sure what to specify for one of these options, just leave it blank to use the default value. The database connection string in particular will always work as long as you have SQLite installed. The only option where the default value is likely to not work is the path to the Subversion repository, so make sure that one's correct.
     133[wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] will prompt you for the information it needs to create the environment, such as the name of the project, the type and the path to an existing [wiki:TracEnvironment#SourceCodeRepository source code repository], the [wiki:TracEnvironment#DatabaseConnectionStrings database connection string], and so on. If you're not sure what to specify for one of these options, just leave it blank to use the default value. The database connection string in particular will always work as long as you have SQLite installed. Leaving the path to the source code repository empty will disable any functionality related to version control, but you can always add that back when the basic system is running.
    92134
    93135Also note that the values you specify here can be changed later by directly editing the [wiki:TracIni] configuration file.
    94136
    95 ''Note: The user account under which the web server runs will require write permissions to the environment
    96 directory and all the files inside.''
     137''Note: The user account under which the web server runs will require write permissions to the environment directory and all the files inside.  On Linux, with the web server running as user apache and group apache, enter:''
     138
     139  chown -R apache.apache /path/to/myproject
    97140
    98141
    … …  
    101144After having created a Trac environment, you can easily try the web interface by running the standalone server [wiki:TracStandalone tracd]:
    102145{{{
    103 $ tracd --port 8000 /path/to/projectenv
     146$ tracd --port 8000 /path/to/myproject
    104147}}}
    105148
    106 Then, fire up a browser and visit `http://localhost:8000/`. You should get a simple listing of all environments that tracd knows about. Follow the link to the environment you just created, and you should see Trac in action.
     149Then, fire up a browser and visit `http://localhost:8000/`. You should get a simple listing of all environments that tracd knows about. Follow the link to the environment you just created, and you should see Trac in action. If you only plan on managing a single project with trac you can have the standalone server skip the environment list by starting it like this:
     150{{{
     151$ tracd -s --port 8000 /path/to/myproject
     152}}}
    107153
    108154
    109155== Running Trac on a Web Server ==
    110156
    111 Trac provides three options for connecting to a “real” web server: [wiki:TracCgi CGI], [wiki:TracFastCgi FastCGI] and [wiki:TracModPython mod_python]. For decent performance, it is recommended that you use either FastCGI or mod_python.

     158
     159If you're not afraid of running development code, you can also try running Trac on [wiki:TracModWSGI mod_wsgi]. This should deliver even better performance than mod_python, but the module is not considered stable just yet.
    112160
    113161== Configuring Authentication ==
    114162
    115 The process of adding, removing, and configuring user accounts for authentication depends on the specific way you run Trac.  To learn about how to accomplish these tasks, please visit one of the following pages:
     163The process of adding, removing, and configuring user accounts for authentication depends on the specific way you run Trac. The basic procedure is described in the [wiki:TracCgi#AddingAuthentication "Adding Authentication"] section on the TracCgi page. To learn how to setup authentication for the frontend you're using, please refer to one of the following pages:
    116164
    117165 * TracStandalone if you use the standalone server, `tracd`.
    118166 * TracCgi if you use the CGI or FastCGI methods.
    119167 * TracModPython if you use the mod_python method.
