Download and install wallabag
=============================

I don’t want to install wallabag
--------------------------------

If you can’t or don’t want to install Wallabag on your server, we
suggest you create a free account on `Framabag`_ which uses our
software (see :ref:`Framabag account creation`).

I want to install wallabag
--------------------------

I want to download wallabag manually
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

`Download the latest wallabag version`_ and unpack it:

::

    wget http://wllbg.org/latest
    unzip latest
    mv wallabag-version-number wallabag

Copy the files on your web server. For Ubuntu/Debian, it is the
directory /var/www/html/ :

::

    sudo mv wallabag /var/www/html/

Then, jump off to next section.

I want to download wallabag via composer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You need to install composer:

::

    curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Next, on your web server, run this command:

::

    composer create-project wallabag/wallabag . dev-master

All is downloaded into the current folder.

Prerequisites for your web server
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Wallabag requires that several components to be installed on your web
server. To make sure your server has all the prerequisites, open in your
browser the page ``http://monserveur.com/wallabag/install/index.php``.

The components are:

-  `PHP 5.3.3 or above`_ **with `PDO`_ support**
-  `XML for PHP`_
-  `PCRE`_
-  `ZLib`_ (otherwise, the processing of compressed pages will be
   affected)
-  `mbstring`_ anb/or `iconv`_ (otherwise some pages will not be read -
   even in English)
-  The `DOM/XML`_ extension
-  `Data filtering`_
-  `GD`_ (otherwise, pictures will not be saved)
-  `Tidy for PHP`_ (otherwise, you may encounter problems with some
   pages)
-  `cURL`_ with ``Parallel URL fetching`` (optionnal)
-  `Parse ini file`_
-  `allow\_url\_fopen`_ (optionnal if cURL is installed)
-  `gettext`_ (required for multi-language support)

Install the missing components before to proceed. For example, to
install Tidy on Ubuntu/Debian:

::

    sudo apt-get install php5-tidy
    sudo service apache2 reload

Note : if you’re using IIS as a webserver, you have to disable
*Anonymous Authentication* and `enable *Basic Authentication*`_ in order
to be able to login.

Twig installation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

wallabag is build with Twig, a template library. You have to download it
for wallabag to work. If you cannot install ``composer`` (for example in
the case of shared hosting), we offer you to download a file which
includes ``Twig``. This file can be downloaed from the page
``http://myservur.com/wallabag/install/index.php`` (section TWIG
INSTALLATION) or directly at http://wllbg.org/vendor. Uncompress it in
your wallabag directory.

Otherwise, you can use Composer to install ``Twig`` by launching
``composer`` from your wallabag directory (in the case of Ubuntu/Debian
too: /var/www/html/wallabag/) by following the commands written on
screen:

::

    curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
    php composer.phar install

Creation of the database.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Wallabag can be installed on different types of databases:

-  `SQLite`_. The easiest system of all. No extra configuration needed.
-  `MySQL`_. A well known database system, which is in most cases more
   efficient than SQLite.
-  `PostgreSQL`_. Some people found it better than MySQL.

We advice you to use MySQL because it is more efficient. In this case,
you should create a new database (for example ``wallabag``), a new user
(for example ``wallabag``) and a password (here ``YourPassWord``). To do
this, you can use ``phpMyAdmin``, or launch the following commands:

::

    mysql -p -u root
    mysql> CREATE DATABASE wallabag;
    mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `wallabag`.* TO 'wallabag'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'VotreMotdePasse';
    mysql> exit

*Note:* If you’re using MySQL or Postgresql, you have to **fill all the
fields**, otherwise the installation will not work and an error message
will tell you what’s wrong. You must create the database that you will
use for wallabag manually with a tool like PHPMyAdmin or the console.

Permissions
~~~~~~~~~~~

Your web server needs a writing access to the ``assets``, ``cache`` and
``db`` directories. Otherwise, a message will report that the
installation is impossible:

::

    sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/wallabag

Installation of wallabag. At last.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Access to wallabag from your web browser:
``http://votreserveur.com/wallabag``. If your server is correctly
configured, you directly reach the setup screen.

Select the type of database (``sqlite``, ``mysql`` or ``postgresql``)
and fill the information about your database. In the case of the databse
MySQL created before, the standard configuration will be:

::

    Database engine:    MySQL
    Server:             localhost
    Database:           wallabag
    Username:           wallabag
    Password:           YourPassWord

Finally, Create your first user and his/her password (different from the
database user).

Wallabag is now installed.

Login
-----

From your web browser, you reach the login screen: fill your username
and your password to connect to your account.

Enjoy!
