Starter Guide to Set up Plone on Linux

1. Link to Download Plone

https://plone.org/download/releases/5.0.6

2. Type the command below in terminal to install plone dependencies on Linux


sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-dev build-essential libssl-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libbz2-dev libjpeg62-dev


3. You will probably also want these optional system packages for handling of PDF and Office files:

sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev wv poppler-utils

4. Untar the downloaded file and cd to Plone directory and type the command below to initiate the plone setup

./install.sh

Follow the onscreen instructions to finish the setup.

5. The default admin credentials will be printed to the console, and saved in the file adminPassword.txt in the resulting install. You can change this password after logging in to the Zope Management Interface.



6. Start Plone - If you're developing, start Plone in foreground mode for a test run (you'll see potential errors in the console):

$ cd ~/Plone/zinstance
$ bin/plonectl fg

This will list the hostserver and port number on which plone is running(Have these details noted for future use)

When you start Plone in the foreground, it runs in debug mode, which is much slower than production mode since it reloads templates for every request.

7. For evaluation, instead use:

$ cd ~/Plone/zinstance
$ bin/plonectl start

8. Stop plone - To stop the plone, use:

$ cd ~/Plone/zinstance
$ bin/plonectl stop

By default, Plone will listen to port 8080 on available network interfaces. The port may be changed by editing buildout.cfg and re-running buildout.


9. Now take a look at your Plone site by visiting the following address in your webbrowser:

http://yourserver:8080(mention the hostserver and port number noted in step 6)

Install the Plone developer tools
If you're using this Plone install for development, add the common development tool set.

$ cd ~/Plone/zinstance
$ bin/buildout -c develop.cfg

NOTE : When you start Plone in the foreground, it runs in debug mode, which is much slower than production mode since it reloads templates for every request.
