Prerequisites: A UNIX server (Linux, BSD, Mac OS, Solaris etc. - NOT Windows), Apache 2, PHP 5.1.6+ (with GD, DOM, XSL), MySQL 4.1+. PHP requirements in detail.
PA v1.2 pre-release now available! Just download and install using the links below. You may experience some instability with this early release; please join our PeopleAggregator user mailing list, or drop us a line at phil or marc at broadbandmechanics.com if you have trouble.
The first step to installing PeepAgg is to decide how you want to keep your copy up to date. You have a few choices:
This installation method lets you easily update your system by visiting http://(your-peepagg-url)/update/system_update.php after installation.
This is recommended for most users.
Get started by downloading one of these: peopleaggregator-1.2pre7_RC1-release-67.tar.gz | peopleaggregator-1.2pre7_RC1-release-67.zip
Then follow the installation guide to set everything up.
If you have your own server and can run commands at the UNIX shell, you can install directly from Subversion. This will give you exactly the same updates as if you use the built-in system (which is just a cut-down Subversion client), but will allow you to maintain your own local changes to core PeopleAggregator files, which is really useful.
This is recommended for more technical users, who have shell access and the Subversion client installed. To get the code:
svn checkout http://update.peopleaggregator.org/svn/release/pa
Then follow the installation guide to set everything up.
This is pretty much the same as the 'for power users' option above, but if you are building a project on top of PeopleAggregator, you will want to take extra steps to ensure you can upgrade, even though you may have changed many files.
Note also that old versions are available here.
