Semapps carto engine

Installation

This installation guide has been tested on raw Debian 9. If you do the same, check carefully your RAM, 4GB seems required to avoid memory exhaustion.

For developers

Prerequesites

In order to contribute, you need to have

• Composer
• Yarn
• Bower
• PHP = 5.6
• Semantic Forms up and running
• MySQL server

Installation steps

Install add-apt-repository before starting. apt-get install software-properties-common

Dependencies

Installing Semantic Forms

• Ensure that Java JRE 8 is installed, on Debian:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
java -version

• Download the zip file of version 2.0 of Semantic Forms (SF) from its repository
• Unzip and change directory : cd semantic_forms_play-1.0-SNAPSHOT
• Copy the start script to the current directory: cp scripts/start.sh .
• One can change the port used by the SF server by changing the PORT variable in start.sh (9111 by default)
• Give the execution permission to start.sh and bin/semantic_forms_play and run start.sh to start the SF server:

chmod +x start.sh
chmod +x bin/semantic_forms_play
./start.sh

• To verify that Semantic Form is running, try to visit the port 9111 (or the port you have configured in start.sh of your localhost in your web browser (e.g. http://localhost:9111 or http://127.0.0.1:9111)

Configuring MySQL

• Install the MySQL client and server, run the MySQL server sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
• From root, create a MySQL user as you want, create a database for symfony and grant the permissions to that user for this database. For example, to create a user admin with privileges on a database symfony:

sudo mysql
mysql> CREATE USER 'admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
mysql> CREATE DATABASE symfony;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON symfony.* TO 'admin'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

• MacPorts users may need to comment the line !include /opt/local/etc/mysql57/macports-default.cnf in /opt/local/etc/mysql57/my.cnf and to configure the default port by adding there:

[mysqld]
port = 3306

NPM, Bower and Composer and the SemApps dependencies

• Install Yarn and Composer. For Yarn, follow theses steps https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install.

For Composer, on Debian, run sudo apt-get install composer. If the Composer is not packaged, install it manually to a binary directory INSTALLDIR in your PATH:

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('SHA384', 'composer-setup.php') === '544e09ee996cdf60ece3804abc52599c22b1f40f4323403c44d44fdfdd586475ca9813a858088ffbc1f233e9b180f061') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
export INSTALLDIR=$HOME/local/bin
php composer-setup.php --install-dir=$INSTALLDIR --filename=composer
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

• Clone the project wherever you wish, git clone https://github.com/assemblee-virtuelle/Semapps
• Change directory to Semapps, cd yourdirectory/Semapps
• Install node dependencies in this directory, run command yarn
• Install some other dependencies composer install. When asked, provide:
  • The host for the database
  • The database port
  • The database name, e.g. symfony to match the above MySQL configuration
  • The database user name, e.g. admin to match the above MySQL configuration, and the password
  • The mail transporter, host, user and password
  • The domain name for SemApps
  • A secret token
  • The domain name of Semantic Forms (<127.0.0.1:9111>, if installed locally on the default port)
  • The administrator user name for Semantic Forms and the password
  • The maximum time (in seconds) to wait for a reply from Semantic Forms
  • The main components of the ontology (keep the default value to use the PAIR ontology)
  • A special alert message
• You can configure this manually in app/config/parameters.yml
• Then access your Semantic Forms install and create an account

set the logo

• go to cd yourdirectory/semapps/web/common/images/
• place here a file named logo.png
• actualize your webpage

start coding

• Create the SQL database: php bin/console doctrine:schema:create
