installation

Installation of evoke requires the following pre-installed (on a posix platform):

• python2.4 or later
• PIL with jpeg support
• twisted
• MySQLdb

Optionally, apache, or another webserver may be used to front-end the system and serve up flat content.

Compile python from source, so that the necessary header files are in place for PIL and twisted.

./configure
make
make altinstall

"altinstall" doesn't overwrite the existing python install

Once python is installed, find the python standard library site.py file, e.g. /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site.py and alter it to use utf8 encoding:
in def setencoding()
replace encoding = "ascii"
with encoding = "utf_8" .

Make sure the necessary libjpeg library and headers are installed - if not, install them from the jpeg-6b package, using:

./configure
make
make install-lib

install Imaging-1-1-6 or later :

python2.5 setup.py install

There are three parts to install, in this order:

• zope.interface-3.3.0 or later
• Twisted-2.1.0 or later
• TwistedWeb-0.5.0 or later

Install all three, using

python setup.py build
python setup.py install

• install MySQL-python-1.2.1_p2 or later, using

  python setup.py build
  python setup.py install
