[[TOC]]
Installs that we maintain are usually done using Cherokee & PostgreSQL

 * [wiki:InstallationGuidelines/Cherokee Cherokee] is a high-performance web server with a graphical admin UI
 * [wiki:InstallationGuidelines/PostgreSQL PostgreSQL] is a database with powerful geospatial support

The simplest way to install is using our attached installation scripts.

These assume that you are installing on Debian Stable (7 'Wheezy').
 * Ubuntu will be similar, although you may need to tweak the setup (e.g. different PostgreSQL versions)
 * There are notes on isntalling on RedHat-based systems here, although these aren't as well-maintained: [wiki:InstallationGuidelines/Linux/Server/RedHat]

This is split into 2 halves, as the 1st script can create a base image which is then customised per-instance using the configure script.

Note: We install using the latest Trunk versions of both Web2Py & Eden. This can occasionally cause teething problems, so if you want a safer route then you may be better off with the [wiki:InstallationGuidelines/Linux/Server/ApacheMySQL Apache/MySQL] option or modifying these scripts to use the Stable versions of Web2Py & Eden.

== Add a Test Site ==
If you wish to add a second site to your system for Test purposes (QA of new code & practising data migrations) then you can use this script:
[http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/raw-attachment/wiki/InstallationGuidelines/Linux/Server/CherokeePostgreSQL/add_test_site.sh add_test_site.sh]
[[Include(http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/raw-attachment/wiki/InstallationGuidelines/Linux/Server/CherokeePostgreSQL/add_test_site.sh, text/plain)]]

== Next ==If you wish to update your site from an alternate github repo this can be done using:
