Script for installation of tango 9.2.5 on fresh Ubuntu 16.10 machine

General Installation
1

Hi all,

I have prepared a fully automated script for installing tango and related software packages (mysql, java, zmq+omniORB+tango) on Ubuntu 16.10 machine.

It also has codes that automatically set the MYSQL_USER and MYSQL_PASSWORD environment variables. Whole process took about 55-60 mins.

Please have a look and let me know if any thing could be added / improvised.

And what about ?

apt-get install mysql-server
apt-get install tango-db

does it works on Ubuntu 16.10 ?

  1. Installation of mysql-server and mysql-client are already included in the script.
  2. A folder is created inside TANGO_INSTALLED_FOLDER/share/tango/db with the related files (image attached). I am a newbie to both tango and to mysql. So, I am not sure if this is okay or am i missing something.
  3. Yes it works on Ubuntu 16.10

Will try to run a sample code from the tutorials and see if this has been configured correctly.

What I wanted to explain is that tango (excepted the java part) is already available on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint… with a simple

apt-get install tango-db tango-starter python-pytango

But maybe you are trying to do something different than installing tango on your system.

Cheers

Aren’t the available Debian packages for tango 9.2.2 :-O? I wanted to try tango 9.2.5 version. So, compiled from source. Please, correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Astroblogweb,

Really great job.
I want you to ask this. In the code you wrote
LIBVALUE=$“/home/$USER/tangocs/tango-$tangoVersion-gcc-$gccVersion-gstabs+/lib”
LIBVALUE=“$LIBVALUE:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH”
echo “export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBVALUE” >> ~/.bashrc
What is LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the second row of code?

another solution in order to test 9.2.5a is to backport the package already available for Ubuntu 17.04

usually the procesdure is as simple as

add the 17.04 deb-src line in /etc/apt/sources.list
then a root

apt-get update
apt-get build-dep tango

as normal user

apt-get source -b tango

then you can install the generated packages

the extra bonus with this method is: packaging take care of the database upgrade during the installation.

Cheers
