01:09 Minimum 4GB RAM and Network facility
01:15 The commands used in this tutorial are available in the Code Files link below the player
01:22 I have opened this file in gedit text editor on my machine and I will use the same file to copy paste the commands during the demonstration.
01:33 Let’s begin.

Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T keys simultaneously on the keyboard.

01:43 We have to first of all ensure that our Ubuntu Linux installation is up-to-date.
01:50 For that copy this command from the codefile and paste it in the terminal and Press Enter.
01:59 From now on type the System password whenever prompted during this installation and Press Enter
02:10 This command will create a file named koha.list and update the package repository.
02:19 Please note: Koha 16.05 was the stable version at the time of creation of this tutorial.
02:28 Copy this command from the codefile and paste it in the terminal and Press Enter.
02:37 Then this will download gpg.asc file and update the signature key.
02:47 Copy this command from the codefile and paste it in the terminal and Press Enter.
02:57 Now Copy this command from the codefile and paste it in the terminal and Press Enter.
03:07 This will update the new repositories.
03:11 Now type sudo apt-get install koha-common and Press Enter.
03:22 Press Y when asked if you want to continue and Press Enter
03:30 This will install Koha on your system.

Wait for the installation to complete. This will take some time.

03:40 Now we have to open the conf file in a text editor to change the port number for Koha.
03:49 I will use gedit text editor. You can use any text editor of your choice.
03:57 Copy this command from the codefile and paste it in the terminal and Press Enter.
04:06 The file opens in the text editor.
04:10 Locate the line that says INTRAPORT = 80
04:16 Change 80 to 8080. This will change the port number to 8080.
04:26 Then save and close the file.
04:30 Come back to the terminal.
04:33 Now we have to set up the database.
04:38 Copy this command from the codefile and paste it in the terminal. Press Enter.
04:47 Press Y when asked if you want to continue and Press Enter
04:57 Next set the password for root user as admin123 for the database.
05:05 You could give a different password if you wish.
05:10 Copy this command from the codefile and paste it in the terminal. Press Enter.
05:19 Next Copy this two command one by one, Paste them on the terminal and press Enter.
05:26 sudo a2enmod rewrite
05:35 sudo a2enmod cgi
05:43 This will enable the modules of Koha.
05:48 Then type sudo service apache2 restart
05:55 This will restart apache services and Press Enter
06:02 To create a Koha instance named library,
06:07 Copy this command from the codefile and paste it in the terminal and Press Enter.
06:16 Next we have to tell Apache server that we are using port 8080.
06:24 For that, we have to open the ports.conf file in a text editor.
06:31 Copy this command from the codefile and paste it in the terminal and Press Enter.
06:40 In the ports.conf file, search for the line Listen 80
06:47 Next to that line, add Listen 8080
06:53 Then save and close the file.
06:57 Then restart apache services.

Copy this command from the codefile and paste it in the terminal. Press Enter.

07:10 Next copy this command from the codefile and paste it in the terminal and Press Enter.
07:20 This is to disable the 000-default site.
07:27 The message confirms that it is disabled.

Let's move on.

07:34 Copy this two command one by one, Paste them on the terminal and Press Enter
07:41 sudo a2enmod deflate and press Enter.

08:33 Copy this command from the codefile and paste it in the terminal. Press Enter.
08:41 Type the password when prompted, admin123 and Press Enter
08:49 We are now inside our MariaDB prompt.
08:54 At the MariaDB prompt, type use mysql semicolon and press Enter.
09:03 This is to tell MariaDB to use mysql database.
09:09 The message displayed on the terminal says Database changed.
09:15 Notice that the MariaDB prompt says mysql.
09:22 Now type the following command carefully as shown and press Enter.
09:30 This will set the password for the user koha_library as koha123.
09:39 We see a message on the terminal that says “Query OK”.
09:45 Next type flush privileges semicolon and press Enter.

This will update the latest changes.

09:58 Once again we see a message on the terminal that says “Query OK”.
10:04 Lastly, type quit semicolon and press Enter to exit from Mariadb.
10:13 We are now back in the root user prompt.
10:17 We will now open the koha-conf.xml file in a text editor.

10:30 In this file, search for the keyword mysql
10:37 Scroll down and locate this line.
10:41 Replace the alphanumeric value with 'koha123'.
10:47 Recall that this is the password we had set for our database earlier via the terminal.
