Installation Guides
Installing Sahana takes a few steps, because it runs off a web server. Users will end up running Sahana through a web browser, rather than directly from the Start menu (if users run MS Windows).
Sahana in PHP
Retrieving the software (Phase 1)
General Users
Sahana is generally downloaded from Launchpad. If users run MS Windows, look for sahana-version_number.zip
.
Power Users
For developers and power users, Sahana can easily be retrieved via Launchpad Bazaar.
bzr launchpad-login username bzr branch lp:sahana-php/0.6
For Trunk version:
bzr branch lp:sahana-php/old-trunk
See our installation instructions for reference. If users need a Launchpad account, go to http://www.launchpad.net/+login.
Getting Sahana Working (Phase 2)
This phase will install the software. Once everything appears to be working correctly, Sahana will do a self-check. Users will be asked to enter the details of their database users and passwords. Those instructions are detailed in phase 2, below.
