Script for installation of tango 9.2.5 on fresh Ubuntu 16.10 machine

# 7 years ago
Astroblogweb	Hi all, I have prepared a fully automated script for installing tango and related software packages (mysql, java, zmq+omniORB+tango) on Ubuntu 16.10 machine. It also has codes that automatically set the MYSQL_USER and MYSQL_PASSWORD environment variables. Whole process took about 55-60 mins. Please have a look and let me know if any thing could be added / improvised. Code hosted at: Tango installation script AstroBlogWeb

picca	And what about ? apt-get install mysql-server apt-get install tango-db does it works on Ubuntu 16.10 ?

Astroblogweb	1. Installation of mysql-server and mysql-client are already included in the script. 2. A folder is created inside TANGO_INSTALLED_FOLDER/share/tango/db with the related files (image attached). I am a newbie to both tango and to mysql. So, I am not sure if this is okay or am i missing something. 3. Yes it works on Ubuntu 16.10 Will try to run a sample code from the tutorials and see if this has been configured correctly.

picca	What I wanted to explain is that tango (excepted the java part) is already available on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint… with a simple apt-get install tango-db tango-starter python-pytango But maybe you are trying to do something different than installing tango on your system. Cheers Frederic

Astroblogweb	Aren't the available Debian packages for tango 9.2.2 ? I wanted to try tango 9.2.5 version. So, compiled from source. Please, correct me if I am wrong.

Jelena	Hi Astroblogweb, Really great job. I want you to ask this. In the code you wrote LIBVALUE=$"/home/$USER/tangocs/tango-$tangoVersion-gcc-$gccVersion-gstabs+/lib" LIBVALUE="$LIBVALUE:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBVALUE" >> ~/.bashrc What is LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the second row of code?

picca	another solution in order to test 9.2.5a is to backport the package already available for Ubuntu 17.04 usually the procesdure is as simple as add the 17.04 deb-src line in /etc/apt/sources.list then a root apt-get update apt-get build-dep tango as normal user apt-get source -b tango then you can install the generated packages the extra bonus with this method is: packaging take care of the database upgrade during the installation. Cheers
