Installing Trac on Ubuntu

We've successfully installed SVN on our Ubuntu LAMP server so far, now its time for trac.

At the terminal prompt, type the following to get root access:

• sudo su

Pre-requisites for installing Trac are that a Lamp server be already setup and SVN be installed along side it.

Install the following components by issuing the following command at the prompt:

• apt-get install libapache2-mod-python python-setuptools  python-subversion

Go here: http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracDownload   and copy either the HTTP or FTP link of the latest stable release and past it in front of the following command:

• easy_install http://ftp.edgewall.com/pub/trac/Trac-xxx.tar

issue the following commands at prompt next:

• cd /
• mkdir /trac
