Installing on Debian
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'.
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
You need to install the "dev" headers.
To install them, run the following:
sudo apt-get install curl libcurl4-openssl-dev
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
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/usrThis installs MySQL, you also need the libmysqlclient-dev and libmysql-ruby packages.
sudo apt-get install mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev libmysql-ruby
This installs libraries for PostgreSQL support.
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev libpq5
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.
To install ImageMagick, run the following:
sudo apt-get install imagemagick libmagick9-dev
Note that libmagick9-dev is provided through libmagickwand-dev.
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
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
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
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.
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.
sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
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
