This part of the installation guide assumes you have a working PostgreSQL installation as well as the necessary applications installed.
- Java (at least version 7)
- Leinigen
- PostgreSQL
- Poppler
- PDFtk
You can follow the instructions in the following documents to set up the necessary dependencies as well as PostgreSQL:
After starting PostgreSQL, you have to import the database schema. If
the postgres user is called pepa, you can run the following:
lein run -m pepa.tasks schema | psql -U pepa pepa
For the web client you have to generate javascript code from ClojureScript:
lein cljsbuild once
Now you can generate a runnable JAR file:
lein uberjar
The result is in target/uberjar/pepa-<version>-standalone.jar. You
are free to move this file around. You can also copy it to a different
system and run it there, as long as the Prerequisites and
config.clj (see next sections) are available there.
Create a file called config.clj by copying the sample config:
cp resources/config.sample.clj config.clj
Adapt the configuration file to your needs. One necessary change is to
add the correct database host (by replacing the <dbhost>
placeholder).
Other interesting config options include the port the application
should listen on (default 4035) and if you want to enable various
features like the LPD print server or the SMTP server.
With the jar generated and config.clj in the current folder, you can
run it just as any other JAR file:
java -jar pepa-<version>-standalone.jar
Just make sure you have your config.clj in the current directory so
Pepa can find it. Optionally, you can set the environment variable
PEPA_CONFIG to the path to your config.clj in case it's in a
different directory
