Introduction
This page details the setup of an Ubuntu workstation.
Ubuntu
Download the latest CD version of Ubuntu and install this onto the workstation.
First call of duty is to make sure the OS is updated; go to System/Software Sources and configure this correctly. Then enter System/Update Manager and process any updates.
Configure the workstation so the Monitor has the correct resolution:
- sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
This command will open the wizard - follow the default settings making sure you select the correct resolution for the monitor.
Eclipse IDE
Firstly install the latest JRE need to be installed. Open up Synaptic Package Manager and search for "jre", and install.
Triangle uses the Eclipse IDE, however do not install the one that comes in the Synaptic package manager instead we use the Eclipse with PDT (PHP Development tools).
Follow the instructions for configuring the Eclipse IDE here
SVN
Triangle makes use of Subversion repositories to store revisions of the code. Install RapidSVN from the Synaptic Package Manager.
LAMP
Install Apache, MySQL and PHP
Project Directories
All code for all sites is contained within /var/www/html, create these directories and make sure that the ownership of the directory is the current user.
Do the following command:
[user]@[user]-desktop:/$ sudo chown [username] /var/www/
[user]@[user]-desktop:/var/www$ mkdir html
