    44Trac is written in the Python programming language and needs a database, [http://sqlite.org/ SQLite], [http://www.postgresql.org/ PostgreSQL], or [http://mysql.com/ MySQL]. For HTML rendering, Trac uses the [http://genshi.edgewall.org Genshi] templating system.
    55
    6 Since version 0.12, Trac can also be localized, and there's probably a translation available for your language. If you want to be able to use the Trac interface in other languages, then make sure you **first** have installed the optional package [#OtherPythonPackages Babel]. Lacking Babel, you will only get the default English version, as usual. If you install Babel later on, you will need to re-install Trac.

    8 If you're interested in contributing new translations for other languages or enhance the existing translations, then please have a look at [trac:wiki:TracL10N TracL10N].

    10 What follows are generic instructions for installing and setting up Trac and its requirements. While you may find instructions for installing Trac on specific systems at [trac:wiki:TracInstallPlatforms TracInstallPlatforms] on the main Trac site, please be sure to '''first read through these general instructions''' to get a good understanding of the tasks involved.

    1616To install Trac, the following software packages must be installed:
    1717
    18  * [http://www.python.org/ Python], version >= 2.4 and < 3.0
    19    //(note that we dropped the support for Python 2.3 in this release and that this will be the last Trac release supporting Python 2.4)//
    20  * [http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools setuptools], version >= 0.6
    21  * [http://genshi.edgewall.org/wiki/Download Genshi], version >= 0.6 (but < 0.7dev, i.e. don't use Genshi trunk)
     18 * [http://www.python.org/ Python], version >= 2.5 and < 3.0
     19   (note that we dropped the support for Python 2.4 in this release)
     20 * [http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools setuptools], version >= 0.6, or better yet, [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute distribute]
     21 * [http://genshi.edgewall.org/wiki/Download Genshi], version >= 0.6 (unreleased version 0.7dev should work as well)
    2222
    2323You also need a database system and the corresponding python bindings.
     
    2626==== For the SQLite database #ForSQLite
    2727
    28 If you're using Python 2.5 or 2.6, you already have everything you need.
    29 
    30 If you're using Python 2.4 and need pysqlite, you can download from
    31 [http://code.google.com/p/pysqlite/downloads/list google code] the Windows installers or the tar.gz archive for building from source:
     28As you must be using Python 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7, you already have the SQLite database bindings bundled with the standard distribution of Python (the `sqlite3` module).
     29
     30However, if you'd like, you can download the latest and greatest version of [[trac:Pysqlite]] from
     31[http://code.google.com/p/pysqlite/downloads/list google code], where you'll find the Windows
     32installers or the `tar.gz` archive for building from source:
    3233{{{
    3334$ tar xvfz <version>.tar.gz
     
    3637}}}
    3738 
    38 This will extract the SQLite code and build the bindings.
    39 
    40 To install SQLite, your system may require the development headers. Without these you will get various GCC related errors when attempting to build:
    41 
    42 {{{
    43 $ apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
    44 }}}
    45 
    46 SQLite 2.x is no longer supported, and neither is !PySqlite 1.1.x.
    47 
    48 A known bug !PySqlite versions 2.5.2-4 prohibits upgrade of trac databases
     39This will download the latest SQLite code and build the bindings.
     40
     41SQLite 2.x is no longer supported.
     42
     43A known bug PySqlite versions 2.5.2-4 prohibits upgrade of trac databases
    4944from 0.11.x to 0.12. Please use versions 2.5.5 and newer or 2.5.1 and
    50 older. See [trac:#9434] for more detail.

    5449==== For the PostgreSQL database #ForPostgreSQL
     
    7570
    7671===== Subversion =====
    77 
    78 [http://subversion.apache.org/ Subversion] 1.5.x or 1.6.x and the '''''corresponding''''' Python bindings.
    79 
    80 There are [http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html pre-compiled SWIG bindings] available for various platforms. See also the TracSubversion page for details about Windows packages.
    81 
    82 Older versions starting from 1.4.0, etc. should still work. For troubleshooting information, check the [trac:TracSubversion#Troubleshooting TracSubversion] page. Versions prior to 1.4.0 won't probably work since trac uses svn core functionality (e.g. svn_path_canonicalize) that is not implemented in the python swig wrapper in svn <= 1.3.x (although it exists in the svn lib itself).
     72 * [http://subversion.apache.org/ Subversion], 1.5.x or 1.6.x and the '''''corresponding''''' Python bindings. Older versions starting from 1.0, like 1.2.4, 1.3.2 or 1.4.2, etc. should still work. For troubleshooting information, check the [trac:TracSubversion#Troubleshooting TracSubversion] page.
     73
     74There are [http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html pre-compiled SWIG bindings] available for various platforms. (Good luck finding precompiled SWIG bindings for any Windows package at that listing. TracSubversion points you to [http://alagazam.net Algazam], which works for me under Python 2.6.)
    8375
    8476Note that Trac '''doesn't''' use [http://pysvn.tigris.org/ PySVN], neither does it work yet with the newer `ctype`-style bindings.
    8577
    86 '''Please note:''' if using Subversion, Trac must be installed on the '''same machine'''. Remote repositories are currently [trac:#493 not supported].

    9285
    9386==== Web Server ====
     
    9689Alternatively you configure Trac to run in any of the following environments.
    9790 * [http://httpd.apache.org/ Apache] with
    98    - [http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/ mod_wsgi], see [wiki:TracModWSGI] (preferred)
    99    - //[http://modpython.org/ mod_python 3.3.1], see TracModPython (deprecated)//
    100  * any [http://www.fastcgi.com/ FastCGI]-capable web server, see TracFastCgi
    101  * any [http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/ajp/ajpv13a.html AJP]-capable web
    102    server, see [trac:TracOnWindowsIisAjp]
    103  * IIS with [http://code.google.com/p/isapi-wsgi/ Isapi-wsgi], see [trac:TracOnWindowsIisIsapi]
    104  * //as a last resort, a CGI-capable web server (see TracCgi), but usage of Trac as a cgi script
    105    is highly discouraged, better use one of the previous options.//
     91   - [http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/ mod_wsgi], see [wiki:TracModWSGI] and
     92     http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/IntegrationWithTrac
     93   - [http://modpython.org/ mod_python 3.3.1], deprecated: see TracModPython)
     94 * a [http://www.fastcgi.com/ FastCGI]-capable web server (see TracFastCgi)
     95 * an [http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/ajp/ajpv13a.html AJP]-capable web
     96   server (see [trac:TracOnWindowsIisAjp TracOnWindowsIisAjp])
     97 * a CGI-capable web server (see TracCgi), '''but usage of Trac as a cgi script
     98   is highly discouraged''', better use one of the previous options.
    10699   
    107100
    108101==== Other Python Packages ====
    109102
    110  * [http://babel.edgewall.org Babel], version 0.9.5,
    111    needed for localization support[[BR]]
    112    ''Note: '' If you want to be able to use the Trac interface in other languages, then make sure you first have installed the optional package Babel. Lacking Babel, you will only get the default english version, as usual. If you install Babel later on, you will need to re-install Trac.
     103 * [http://babel.edgewall.org Babel], version >= 0.9.5,
     104   needed for localization support (unreleased version 1.0dev should work as well)
    113105 * [http://docutils.sourceforge.net/ docutils], version >= 0.3.9
    114106   for WikiRestructuredText.
     
    134126A few examples:
    135127
    136  - first install of the latest stable version Trac 0.12.2, with i18n support:
     128 - install Trac 1.0:
    137129   {{{
    138    easy_install Babel==0.9.5
    139    easy_install Trac
     130   easy_install Trac==1.0
    140131   }}}
    141    ''It's very important to run the two `easy_install` commands separately, otherwise the message catalogs won't be generated.''
    142 
    143  - upgrade to the latest stable version of Trac:
     132   (NOT YET ENABLED)
     133 - install latest development version 1.0dev:
    144134   {{{
    145    easy_install -U Trac
     135   easy_install Trac==dev
    146136   }}}
    147 
    148  - upgrade to the latest trunk development version (0.13dev):
    149    {{{
    150    easy_install -U Trac==dev
    151    }}}
    152 
    153 For upgrades, reading the TracUpgrade page is mandatory, of course.
     137   Note that in this case you won't have the possibility to run a localized version of Trac;
     138   either use a released version or install from source
     139
     140=== Using `pip`
     141'pip' is an easy_install replacement that is very useful to quickly install python packages.
     142To get a trac installation up and running in less than 5 minutes:
     143
     144Assuming you want to have your entire pip installation in `/opt/user/trac`
     145
     146 -
     147{{{
     148pip -E /opt/user/trac install trac psycopg2
     149}}}
     150or
     151 -
     152{{{
     153pip -E /opt/user/trac install trac mysql-python
     154}}}
     155
     156Make sure your OS specific headers are available for pip to automatically build PostgreSQL (libpq-dev) or MySQL (libmysqlclient-dev) bindings.
     157
     158pip will automatically resolve all dependencies (like Genshi, pygments, etc.) and download the latest packages on pypi.python.org and create a self contained installation in `/opt/user/trac`.
     159
     160All commands (`tracd`, `trac-admin`) are available in `/opt/user/trac/bin`. This can also be leveraged for `mod_python` (using `PythonHandler` directive) and `mod_wsgi` (using `WSGIDaemonProcess` directive)
     161
     162Additionally, you can install several trac plugins (listed [http://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=search&term=trac&submit=search here]) through pip.
     163
     164
    154165
    155166=== From source
    156 If you want more control, you can download the source in archive form, or do a checkout from one of the official [[Trac:TracRepositories|source code repositories]].
    157 
    158 Be sure to have the prerequisites already installed. You can also obtain the Genshi and Babel source packages from http://www.edgewall.org and follow for them a similar installation procedure, or you can just `easy_install` those, see [#Usingeasy_install above].
    159 
    160 Once you've unpacked the Trac archive or performed the checkout, move in the top-level folder and do:
     167Of course, using the python-typical setup at the top of the source directory also works.
     168
     169You can obtain the source for a .tar.gz or .zip file corresponding to a release (e.g. Trac-1.0.tar.gz), or you can get the source directly from the repository (see Trac:SubversionRepository for details).
     170
    161171{{{
    162172$ python ./setup.py install
    163173}}}
    164174
    165 You'll need root permissions or equivalent for this step.
     175''You'll need root permissions or equivalent for this step.''
    166176
    167177This will byte-compile the python source code and install it as an .egg file or folder in the `site-packages` directory
     
    178188=== Advanced Options ===
    179189
    180 ==== Custom location with `easy_install`
    181 
    182190To install Trac to a custom location, or find out about other advanced installation options, run:
    183191{{{
     
    198206
    199207The above will place your `tracd` and `trac-admin` commands into `/usr/local/bin` and will install the Trac libraries and dependencies into `/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages`, which is Apple's preferred location for third-party Python application installations.
    200 
    201 ==== Using `pip`
    202 'pip' is an easy_install replacement that is very useful to quickly install python packages.
    203 To get a trac installation up and running in less than 5 minutes:
    204

    206 
    207  -
    208 {{{
    209 pip -E /opt/user/trac install trac psycopg2
    210 }}}
    211 or
    212  -
    213 {{{
    214 pip -E /opt/user/trac install trac mysql-python
    215 }}}
    216 
    217 Make sure your OS specific headers are available for pip to automatically build PostgreSQL (libpq-dev) or MySQL (libmysqlclient-dev) bindings.
    218 
    219 pip will automatically resolve all dependencies (like Genshi, pygments, etc.) and download the latest packages on pypi.python.org and create a self contained installation in /opt/user/trac .
    220
