h1. Installation Instructions
Open Design Engine (ODE) is based on "Redmine":http://redmine.org. The official installation method is to install the "Bitnami Redmine Stack":http://bitnami.org/stack/redmine, apply some custom configuration to the stack, and then upgrade the installed Redmine instance to the ODE source code. Support for other stacks (or bootstrapped installations) will come with future releases. With luck, one or more of the stack providers will add ODE to their list of supported stacks.
Note, these instructions assume you are running the Ubuntu VM image of the Bitnami Redmine Stack and are *running running all commands under* under @sudo@. They were tested with "version 1.1.3":http://bitnami.org/files/stacks/redmine/1.1.3-0/bitnami-redmine-1.1.3-0-ubuntu-10.10.zip in "VMWare Player":http://www.vmware.com/products/player/.
Useful Paths
* @(bitnami_base) = /opt/bitnami@ in VM images
Steps to install ODE
* Import the Bitnami Redmine Stack into VMWare (the free VMWare Player is supported)
* Configure Redmine to run at http://hostname/ instead of http://hostname/redmine
** Edit @(bitnami_base)/apache2/conf/httpd.conf@ and comment out the line:
<pre>
DocumentRoot "/opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs"
</pre>
** Edit @(bitnami_base)/apps/redmine/conf/redmine.conf@ to match the following (the key areas are the addition of the virtual host section and changing all references of @/redmine@ to @/@):
<pre>

** Edit @(bitnami_base)/apps/redmine/config/mongrel_cluster.yml@ and change references to @prefix: /redmine@ to @prefix: @
** Restart Redmine by running:
<pre>
(bitnami_base)/ctlscript stop
(bitnami_base)/ctlscript start
</pre>
* Configure SVN in Redmine
** Install dependencies
<pre>
apt-get update
apt-get install build-essential
apt-get install zlib1g-dev
(bitnami_base)/perl/bin/cpan # accept defaults and choose CPAN servers
cpan> install Test::Simple
cpan> install DBI
