CentOS/RedHat

These are specific notes for installing PEcAn on CentOS (7) and will be referenced from the main installing PEcAn page. You will at least need to install the build environment and Postgres sections. If you want to access the database/PEcAn using a web browser you will need to install Apache. To access the database using the BETY interface, you will need to have Ruby installed.

This document also contains information on how to install the Rstudio server edition as well as any other packages that can be helpful.

Install build environment

# install packages for postgresql (using a newer version than default)
yum -y install postgresql94-server postgresql94-contrib postgis2_94 postgresql94-devel

# install following if you want to run pecan through the web
yum -y install php-pgsql

# enable bety user to login with trust by adding the following lines after
# the ability of postgres user to login in /var/lib/pgsql/9.4/data/pg_hba.conf
local   all             bety                                    trust

Rstudio-server

NEED FIXING

NOTE This will allow anybody to login to the machine through the rstudio interface and run any arbitrary code. The login used however is the same as the system login/password.

Based on version of ubuntu 32/64 use either of the following

32bit only

wget http://download2.rstudio.org/rstudio-server-0.98.1103-i386.deb

64bit only

wget http://download2.rstudio.org/rstudio-server-0.98.1103-amd64.deb

# bceome root
sudo -s

# install required packages
apt-get -y install libapparmor1 apparmor-utils libssl0.9.8

# install rstudio
dpkg -i rstudio-server-*
rm rstudio-server-*
echo "www-address=127.0.0.1" >> /etc/rstudio/rserver.conf
echo "r-libs-user=~/R/library" >> /etc/rstudio/rsession.conf
rstudio-server restart

# setup rstudio forwarding in apache

# all done, exit root
