| 53 | | ==== Version Control System |
| 54 | | |
| 55 | | ===== Subversion |
| 56 | | * [http://subversion.apache.org/ Subversion], 1.5.x or later and the '''corresponding''' Python bindings. Older versions starting from 1.0, like 1.2.4, 1.3.2 or 1.4.2, etc. may still work. For troubleshooting information, check the [trac:TracSubversion#Troubleshooting TracSubversion] page. |
| 57 | | |
| 58 | | There are [http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html pre-compiled SWIG bindings] available for various platforms. (Good luck finding precompiled SWIG bindings for any Windows package at that listing. [trac:TracSubversion] points you to [http://alagazam.net Alagazam], which works for me under Python 2.6.) |
| 59 | | |
| 60 | | Note that Trac '''doesn't''' use [http://pysvn.tigris.org/ PySVN], neither does it work yet with the newer `ctype`-style bindings. |
| 61 | | |
| 62 | | '''Note:''' if using Subversion, Trac must be installed on the '''same machine'''. Remote repositories are currently [trac:ticket:493 not supported]. |

| 97 | | [http://silvercity.sourceforge.net/ SilverCity] and/or |
| 98 | | [http://gnu.org/software/enscript/enscript.html Enscript] may still be used |
| 99 | | but are deprecated and you really should be using Pygments. |

| | 105 | * [https://pypi.org/project/passlib passlib] on Windows to decode [TracStandalone#BasicAuthorization:Usingahtpasswdpasswordfile htpasswd formats] other than `SHA-1`. |
| | 106 | * [https://pypi.org/project/pyreadline pyreadline] on Windows for trac-admin [TracAdmin#InteractiveMode command completion]. |
| 114 | | It is assumed throughout this guide that you have elevated permissions as the `root` user, or by prefixing commands with `sudo`. The umask `0022` should be used for a typical installation on a Unix-based platform. |
| 115 | | |
| 116 | | === Using `easy_install` |
| 117 | | |
| 118 | | Trac can be installed from [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Trac PyPI] or the Subversion repository using [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools setuptools]. |
| 119 | | |
| 120 | | A few command-line examples: |
| 121 | | |
| 122 | | - Install Trac 1.0: |
| 123 | | {{{#!sh |
| 124 | | $ easy_install Trac==1.0 |
| 125 | | }}} |
| 126 | | - Install latest development version: |
| 127 | | {{{#!sh |
| 128 | | $ easy_install Trac==dev |
| 129 | | }}} |
| 130 | | Note that in this case you won't have the possibility to run a localized version of Trac; |
| 131 | | either use a released version or install from source. |
| 132 | | |
| 133 | | More information can be found on the [trac:wiki:setuptools setuptools] page. |
| 134 | | |
| 135 | | {{{#!div style="border: 1pt dotted; margin: 1em" |
| 136 | | **Setuptools Warning:** If the version of your setuptools is in the range 5.4 through 5.6, the environment variable `PKG_RESOURCES_CACHE_ZIP_MANIFESTS` must be set in order to avoid significant performance degradation. More information may be found in [#DeployingTrac Deploying Trac]. |
| 137 | | }}} |
| | 118 | It is assumed throughout this guide that you have elevated permissions as the `root` user or by prefixing commands with `sudo`. The umask `0002` should be used for a typical installation on a Unix-based platform. |
| 140 | | |
| 141 | | 'pip' is an easy_install replacement that is very useful to quickly install Python packages. |
| 142 | | To get a Trac installation up and running in less than 5 minutes: |
| 143 | | |
| 144 | | Assuming you want to have your entire pip installation in `/opt/user/trac`: |
| 145 | | |
| 146 | | - |
| 147 | | {{{#!sh |
| 148 | | $ pip install trac psycopg2 |
| 149 | | }}} |
| 150 | | or: |
| 151 | | - |
| 152 | | {{{#!sh |
| 153 | | $ pip install trac mysql-python |
| 154 | | }}} |
| 155 | | |
| 156 | | Make sure your OS specific headers are available for pip to automatically build PostgreSQL (`libpq-dev`) or MySQL (`libmysqlclient-dev`) bindings. |
| 157 | | |
| 158 | | pip will automatically resolve all dependencies (like Genshi, pygments, etc.), download the latest packages from pypi.python.org and create a self contained installation in `/opt/user/trac`. |
| 159 | | |
| 160 | | All commands (`tracd`, `trac-admin`) are available in `/opt/user/trac/bin`. This can also be leveraged for `mod_python` (using `PythonHandler` directive) and `mod_wsgi` (using `WSGIDaemonProcess` directive). |
| 161 | | |
| 162 | | Additionally, you can install several Trac plugins (listed [https://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=browse&show=all&c=516 here]) through pip. |
| 163 | | |
| 164 | | === From source |
| 165 | | |
| 166 | | Using the python-typical setup at the top of the source directory also works. You can obtain the source for a .tar.gz or .zip file corresponding to a release (e.g. `Trac-1.0.tar.gz`) from the [trac:TracDownload] page, or you can get the source directly from the repository. See [trac:TracRepositories#OfficialSubversionrepository TracRepositories] for details. |
| 167 | | |
| 168 | | {{{#!sh |
| 169 | | $ python ./setup.py install |
| 170 | | }}} |
| 171 | | |
| 172 | | You will need root permissions or equivalent for this step. |
| 173 | | |
| 174 | | This will byte-compile the Python source code and install it as an .egg file or folder in the `site-packages` directory |
| 175 | | of your Python installation. The .egg will also contain all other resources needed by standard Trac, such as `htdocs` and `templates`. |
| 176 | | |
| 177 | | If you install from source and want to make Trac available in other languages, make sure Babel is installed. Only then, perform the `install` (or simply redo the `install` once again afterwards if you realize Babel was not yet installed): |
| 178 | | {{{#!sh |
| 179 | | $ python ./setup.py install |
| 180 | | }}} |
| 181 | | |
| 182 | | Alternatively, you can run `bdist_egg` and copy the .egg from `dist/` to the place of your choice, or you can create a Windows installer (`bdist_wininst`). |
| | 121 | `pip` is the modern Python package manager and is included in Python 2.7.9 and later. Use [https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py get-pip.py] to install `pip` for an earlier version of Python. |
| | 122 | |
| | 123 | {{{#!sh |
| | 124 | $ pip install Trac |
| | 125 | }}} |
| | 126 | |
| | 127 | `pip` will automatically resolve the //required// dependencies (Jinja2 and setuptools) and download the latest packages from pypi.org. |
| | 128 | |
| | 129 | You can also install directly from a source package. You can obtain the source in a tar or zip from the [trac:TracDownload] page. After extracting the archive, change to the directory containing `setup.py` and run: |
| | 130 | |
| | 131 | {{{#!sh |
| | 132 | $ pip install . |
| | 133 | }}} |
| | 134 | |
| | 135 | `pip` supports numerous other install mechanisms. It can be passed the URL of an archive or other download location. Here are some examples: |
| | 136 | |
| | 137 | * Install the latest stable version from a zip archive: |
| | 138 | {{{#!sh |
| | 139 | $ pip install https://download.edgewall.org/trac/Trac-latest.zip |
| | 140 | }}} |
| | 141 | * Install the latest development version from a tar archive: |
| | 142 | {{{#!sh |
| | 143 | $ pip install https://download.edgewall.org/trac/Trac-latest-dev.tar.gz |
| | 144 | }}} |
| | 145 | * Install the unreleased 1.2-stable from subversion: |
| | 146 | {{{#!sh |
| | 147 | $ pip install svn+https://svn.edgewall.org/repos/trac/branches/1.2-stable |
| | 148 | }}} |
| | 149 | * Install the latest development preview (//not recommended for production installs//): |
| | 150 | {{{#!sh |
| | 151 | $ pip install --find-links=https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracDownload Trac |
| | 152 | }}} |
| | 153 | |
| | 154 | The optional dependencies can be installed from PyPI using `pip`: |
| | 155 | {{{#!sh |
| | 156 | $ pip install babel docutils pygments textile |
| | 157 | }}} |
| | 158 | |
| | 159 | The optional dependencies can alternatively be |
| | 160 | specified using the `extras` keys in the setup file: |
| | 161 | {{{#!sh |
| | 162 | $ pip install Trac[babel,rest,pygments,textile] |
| | 163 | }}} |
| | 164 | |
| | 165 | `rest` is the extra that installs the `docutils` |
| | 166 | dependency. |
| | 167 | |
| | 168 | Include `mysql` or `psycopg2-binary` in the |
| | 169 | list if using the MySQL or PostgreSQL database. |
| | 170 | |
| | 171 | Additionally, you can install several Trac plugins from PyPI (listed [https://pypi.org/search/?c=Framework+%3A%3A+Trac here]) using pip. See TracPlugins for more information. |
| 190 | | Trac may be available in the package repository for your platform. Note however, that the version provided by the package manager may not be the latest release. |
| 191 | | |
| 192 | | === Advanced `easy_install` Options |
| 193 | | |
| 194 | | To install Trac to a custom location, or find out about other advanced installation options, run: |
| 195 | | {{{#!sh |
| 196 | | $ easy_install --help |
| 197 | | }}} |
| 198 | | |
| 199 | | Also see [http://docs.python.org/2/install/index.html Installing Python Modules] for detailed information. |
| 200 | | |
| 201 | | Specifically, you might be interested in: |
| 202 | | {{{#!sh |
| 203 | | $ easy_install --prefix=/path/to/installdir |
| 204 | | }}} |
| 205 | | |
| 206 | | or, if installing Trac on a Mac OS X system: |
| 207 | | {{{#!sh |
| 208 | | $ easy_install --prefix=/usr/local --install-dir=/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages |
| 209 | | }}} |
| 210 | | |
| 211 | | '''Note''': If installing on Mac OS X 10.6 running {{{ easy_install http://svn.edgewall.org/repos/trac/trunk }}} will install into {{{ /usr/local }}} and {{{ /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages }}} by default. |
| 212 | | |
| 213 | | The above will place your `tracd` and `trac-admin` commands into `/usr/local/bin` and will install the Trac libraries and dependencies into `/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages`, which is Apple's preferred location for third-party Python application installations. |
| | 179 | Trac may be available in your platform's package repository. However, your package manager may not provide the latest release of Trac. |
| 224 | | [TracAdmin trac-admin] will prompt you for the information it needs to create the environment, such as the name of the project and the [TracEnvironment#DatabaseConnectionStrings database connection string]. If you're not sure what to specify for one of these options, just press `<Enter>` to use the default value. |
| 225 | | |
| 226 | | Using the default database connection string in particular will always work as long as you have SQLite installed. |
| 227 | | For the other [trac:DatabaseBackend database backends] you should plan ahead and already have a database ready to use at this point. |
| 228 | | |
| 229 | | Since 0.12, Trac doesn't ask for a [TracEnvironment#SourceCodeRepository source code repository] anymore when creating an environment. Repositories can be [TracRepositoryAdmin added] afterwards, and support for specific version control systems is disabled by default. |
| 230 | | |
| 231 | | Also note that the values you specify here can be changed later by directly editing the [TracIni conf/trac.ini] configuration file. |
| 232 | | |
| 233 | | {{{#!div style="border: 1pt dotted; margin: 1em" |
| 234 | | **Filesystem Warning:** When selecting the location of your environment, make sure that the filesystem on which the environment directory resides supports sub-second timestamps (i.e. **not** `ext2` or `ext3` on Linux, or HFS+ on OSX), as the modification time of the `conf/trac.ini` file will be monitored to decide whether an environment restart is needed or not. A too coarse-grained timestamp resolution may result in inconsistencies in Trac < 1.0.2. The best advice is to opt for a platform with sub-second timestamp resolution, regardless of the Trac version. |
| 235 | | }}} |
| | 190 | [TracAdmin trac-admin] will prompt you for the information it needs to create the environment: the name of the project and the [TracEnvironment#DatabaseConnectionStrings database connection string]. If you're not sure what to specify for any of these options, just press `<Enter>` to use the default value. |
| | 191 | |
| | 192 | Using the default database connection string will always work as long as you have SQLite installed. For the other [trac:DatabaseBackend database backends] you should plan ahead and already have a database ready to use at this point. |
| | 193 | |
| | 194 | Also note that the values you specify here can be changed later using TracAdmin or directly editing the [TracIni conf/trac.ini] configuration file. |
| 292 | | In order for Trac to function properly with FastCGI you need to have a `trac.fcgi` file and for mod_wsgi a `trac.wsgi` file. These are Python scripts which load the appropriate Python code. They can be generated using the `deploy` option of [TracAdmin trac-admin]. |
| 293 | | |
| 294 | | There is, however, a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem. The [TracAdmin trac-admin] command requires an existing environment to function, but complains if the deploy directory already exists. This is a problem, because environments are often stored in a subdirectory of the deploy. The solution is to do something like this: |
| 295 | | {{{#!sh |
| 296 | | $ mkdir -p /usr/share/trac/projects/my-project |
| 297 | | $ trac-admin /usr/share/trac/projects/my-project initenv |
| 298 | | $ trac-admin /usr/share/trac/projects/my-project deploy /tmp/deploy |
| 299 | | $ mv /tmp/deploy/* /usr/share/trac |
| 300 | | }}} |
| 301 | | |
| 302 | | Don't forget to check that the web server has the execution right on scripts in the `/usr/share/trac/cgi-bin` directory. |
| | 251 | Application scripts for CGI, FastCGI and mod-wsgi can be generated using the [TracAdmin trac-admin] `deploy` command: |
| | 252 | [[TracAdminHelp(deploy)]] |
| | 253 | |
| | 254 | Grant the web server execution right on scripts in the `cgi-bin` directory. |
| | 255 | |
| | 256 | For example, the following yields a typical directory structure: |
| | 257 | {{{#!sh |
| | 258 | $ mkdir -p /var/trac |
| | 259 | $ trac-admin /var/trac/<project> initenv |
| | 260 | $ trac-admin /var/trac/<project> deploy /var/www |
| | 261 | $ ls /var/www |
| | 262 | cgi-bin htdocs |
| | 263 | $ chmod ugo+x /var/www/cgi-bin/* |
| | 264 | }}} |
| 306 | | Out of the box, Trac will pass static resources such as style sheets or images through itself. For anything but a tracd only based deployment, this is far from optimal as the web server could be set up to directly serve those static resources. For CGI setup, this is '''highly undesirable''' as it causes abysmal performance. |
| 307 | | |
| 308 | | Web servers such as [http://httpd.apache.org/ Apache] allow you to create "Aliases" to resources, giving them a virtual URL that doesn't necessarily reflect the layout of the servers file system. We also can map requests for static resources directly to the directory on the file system, avoiding processing these requests by Trac itself. |
| 309 | | |
| 310 | | There are two primary URL paths for static resources - `/chrome/common` and `/chrome/site`. Plugins can add their own resources, usually accessible by `/chrome/<plugin>` path, so its important to override only known paths and not try to make universal `/chrome` alias for everything. |
| 311 | | |
| 312 | | Note that in order to get those static resources on the filesystem, you need first to extract the relevant resources from Trac using the [TracAdmin trac-admin]` <environment> deploy` command: |
| 313 | | [[TracAdminHelp(deploy)]] |
| 314 | | |
| 315 | | The target `<directory>` will then contain an `htdocs` directory with: |
| 316 | | - `site/` - a copy of the environment's directory `htdocs/` |
| 317 | | - `common/` - the static resources of Trac itself |
| 318 | | - `<plugins>/` - one directory for each resource directory managed by the plugins enabled for this environment |
| 319 | | |
| 320 | | ===== Example: Apache and `ScriptAlias` #ScriptAlias-example |
| 321 | | |
| 322 | | Assuming the deployment has been done this way: |
| 323 | | {{{#!sh |
| 324 | | $ trac-admin /var/trac/env deploy /path/to/shared/trac |
| 325 | | }}} |
| 326 | | |
| 327 | | Add the following snippet to Apache configuration ''before'' the `ScriptAlias` or `WSGIScriptAlias` (which map all the other requests to the Trac application), changing paths to match your deployment: |
| | 268 | Without additional configuration, Trac will handle requests for static resources such as stylesheets and images. For anything other than a TracStandalone deployment, this is not optimal as the web server can be set up to directly serve the static resources. For CGI setup, this is '''highly undesirable''' as it causes abysmal performance. |
| | 269 | |
| | 270 | Web servers such as [https://httpd.apache.org/ Apache] allow you to create //Aliases// to resources, giving them a virtual URL that doesn't necessarily reflect their location on the file system. We can map requests for static resources directly to directories on the file system, to avoid Trac processing the requests. |
| | 271 | |
| | 272 | There are two primary URL paths for static resources: `/chrome/common` and `/chrome/site`. Plugins can add their own resources, usually accessible at the `/chrome/<plugin>` path. |
| | 273 | |
| | 274 | A single `/chrome` alias can used if the static resources are extracted for all plugins. This means that the `deploy` command (discussed in the previous section) must be executed after installing or updating a plugin that provides static resources, or after modifying resources in the `$env/htdocs` directory. This is probably appropriate for most installations but may not be what you want if, for example, you wish to upload plugins through the //Plugins// administration page. |
| | 275 | |
| | 276 | The `deploy` command creates an `htdocs` directory with: |
| | 277 | - `common/` - the static resources of Trac |
| | 278 | - `site/` - a copy of the environment's `htdocs/` directory |
| | 279 | - `shared` - the static resources shared by multiple Trac environments, with a location defined by the `[inherit]` `htdocs_dir` option |
| | 280 | - `<plugin>/` - one directory for each resource directory provided by the plugins enabled for this environment |

| 410 | | == Finishing the install |
| 411 | | |
| 412 | | === Enable version control components |
| 413 | | |
| 414 | | Support for version control systems is provided by optional components in Trac and the components are disabled by default //(since 1.0)//. Subversion and Git must be explicitly enabled if you wish to use them. See TracRepositoryAdmin for more details. |
| 415 | | |
| 416 | | The version control systems are enabled by adding the following to the `[components]` section of your [TracIni#components-section trac.ini], or enabling the components in the "Plugins" admin panel: |
| 417 | | |
| 418 | | {{{#!ini |
| 419 | | [components] |
| 420 | | tracopt.versioncontrol.svn.* = enabled |
| 421 | | }}} |
| 422 | | |
| 423 | | {{{#!ini |
| 424 | | [components] |
| 425 | | tracopt.versioncontrol.git.* = enabled |
| 426 | | }}} |
| 427 | | |
| 428 | | After enabling the components, repositories can be configured through the //Repositories// admin panel or by editing [TracIni#repositories-section trac.ini]. Automatic changeset references can be inserted as ticket comments by configuring [TracRepositoryAdmin#Automaticchangesetreferencesintickets CommitTicketUpdater]. |
| 429 | | |
| 430 | | === Using Trac |
| | 374 | This user will have an //Admin// navigation item that directs to pages for administering your Trac project. |
| | 375 | |
| | 376 | == Configuring Trac |
| | 377 | |
| | 378 | Configuration options are documented on the TracIni page. |
| | 379 | |
| | 380 | TracRepositoryAdmin provides information on configuring version control repositories for your project. |
| | 381 | |
| | 382 | In addition to the optional version control backends, Trac provides several optional features that are disabled by default: |
| | 383 | * [TracFineGrainedPermissions#AuthzPolicy Fine-grained permission policy] |
| | 384 | * [TracPermissions#CreatingNewPrivileges Custom permissions] |
| | 385 | * [TracTickets#deleter Ticket deletion] |
| | 386 | * [TracTickets#cloner Ticket cloning] |
| | 387 | * [TracRepositoryAdmin#CommitTicketUpdater Ticket changeset references] |
| | 388 | |
