myami on Ubuntu¶

This is a work in progress. Use at your own risk. This is mainly a log of various experiences installing myami on Ubuntu which will gradually evolve into a more formal document. This will attempt to demonstrate the installation of all of myami including both leginon and appion on a single Ubuntu host. This will also include running MySQL, Apache Torque, etc. on this local host without needing to connect to any other host.

Installing Ubuntu¶

We use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise) Desktop 64 bit. Install a basic system from an image on CD or bootable USB drive. Default selections during the install process, no 3rd party repositories, no network configuration and no updates during the installation. This makes it easier in the remainder of this document to know that we have started from a known base system. Reboot.

• configure network
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get upgrade
• Reboot
