CMS 0.9.0 Installation

Dependencies

These are our requirements (in particular we highlight those that are not usually installed by default) - previous versions may or may not work:

• build environment for the programming languages allowed in the competition;

• postgreSQL >= 8.4;

• gettext >= 0.18;

• python >= 2.7 (and < 3.0);

• python-setuptools >= 0.6;

• python-tornado >= 2.0;

• python-psycopg2 >= 2.4;

On Ubuntu 12.04, one will need to run the following script to satisfy all dependencies:

     python-coverage python-crypto python-tz iso-codes shared-mime-info

# Optional.
# sudo apt-get install phppgadmin python-yaml

If you prefer using Python Package Index, you can retrieve all Python dependencies with this line:

sudo pip install -r REQUIREMENTS.txt

Installing CMS

You can download CMS 0.9.0 from https://github.com/cms-dev/cms/archive/v0.9.0.tar.gz and extract in your filesystem. After that, you can install it (recommended, not necessary though):

./setup.py build
sudo ./setup.py install

If you install CMS, you also need to add your user to the cmsuser group and logout to make the change effective:

sudo usermod -a -G cmsuser

You can verify to be in the group issuing the command

groups

Updating CMS

If you were using CMS before the release of version 0.9.0, you can update the content of your database with:

cd cms/db
python UpdateDB.py -l # To see which updating scripts are available.
python UpdateDB.py -s YYYYMMDD # To update the DB, where YYYYMMDD is
                               # the last date in which you created or
                               # updated the DB.
