Installation

You will need:

• A MusicBrainz database. See the INSTALL document of the musicbrainz-server project for more details.

• pgq installed:

  1. Grab skytools from http://skytools.projects.postgresql.org/ and install it with the normal configure, make, make install trio. If you are running Ubuntu, simply install the skytools package (sudo apt-get install skytools).
  2. Create a musicbrainz.ini file somewhere. See musicbrainz.ini.example for how this could look.
  3. Run pgqadm.py /path/to/musicbrainz.ini install to install PGQ into the database.
  4. Run pgqadm.py /path/to/musicbrainz.ini ticker -d to start the ticker
  5. Run the install.sql file in this project against your MusicBrainz database.
  6. Install dependencies with carton install
  7. Copy config.ini.example to config.ini and edit appropriately.
  8. Run caa-indexer as carton exec -Ilib -- ./caa-indexer. You will need to provide the public and private key, via the --public= and --private= options, respectively, or via the aforementioned config.ini. Run with --help for options.
