Hello,
i am trying to help someone who has no internet access to setup and run Koha on
a fresh box.
i break the install process into four major pre-requisites:
Installing the OS, Apache, and MySQL, and lastly, getting the Perl modules
While we managed the first three relatively easily, its the fourth one (Perl
modules) that i need help with.
One ("brute force"?) approach i thought i'd try is to just copy over the
contents of the Perl paths that contain the modules from my own running install
of Koha. (The modules are at /usr/lib/perl5 and /usr/local/lib/perl5). If the
OS and everything else is pretty similar, there is some chance this will work,
given that the modules were compiled for a similar architecture (an x86 PC)?
i haven't tried this yet, but before i do, i am sure there are better ways to
do this. For e.g., cpan still has the sources for all the modules i fetched at
/root/.cpan/sources
Perhaps, i can compile and install cpan on the new box, copy over the sources,
and give CPAN a "local file url" (like file://...?) to go look for stuff? Or is
it possible to (temporarily and relatively easily) create a CPAN mirror on a
box on the local network?
Otherwise there are perhaps just too many modules and dependencies required to
satisfy them to try and do this one at a time.
Also, i hear there's a way to get a "tarball" of modules for specific needs,
has someone tried doing one for Koha? Or can i create one from what i already
have?
Hoping to hear some good useful advice from you all, as always. This one's for
you, Prashant...
