ERP5 RPMs for Mandriva

A complete set of ERP5 RPMs packages is maintained for the Mandriva Linux distribution.

How-to install ERP5 on Mandriva

First, open a console as root and type the following command to specify to urpmi where to find Nexedi's RPMs:

urpmi.addmedia --update nexedi http://www.nexedi.org/static/mandrivalinux/2008.1/i586/

The command above is for Mandriva 2008.1 on 32 bits x86 CPU. If you have another version or flavour of Mandriva, look at the list of Nexedi's RPM repository at the end of that page and replace the URL by the right one.

To resolve some packages' dependencies, urpmi need to access main and contrib repository. If you don't have them configured yet, then these the commands to add those repositories to your RPM database:

urpmi.addmedia main ftp://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Mandriva-Linux/official/2008.1/i586/media/main with media_info/hdlist.cz

urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Mandriva-Linux/official/2008.1/i586/media/contrib with media_info/hdlist.cz

Please note that the above entries for main and contrib are only examples and one must refer to http://easyurpmi.zarb.org for alternate and correct repository sources.

Then, if you want to use ERP5 on a stand-alone machine, install following packages via urpmi command (you can also use drakconf GUI):

urpmi MySQL-Max erp5-zope erp5-ERP5 python2.4-memcached

Note: ERP5 need a MySQL server to work. But in some cases, there is some advantages to have ERP5 server and MySQL server installed on two distinct machines. That's why you have to specify MySQL as urpmi parameter in the command above, in order to make ERP5 working on a stand-alone machine.

Note: erp5-zope package is specified as urpmi parameter to install a special Zope patched for ERP5. Without it, the default unpatched version of Zope will be installed, leading to broken ERP5.

Also, to make your developer life more confortable, you can install some extra zope packages:

urpmi erp5-ERP5Subversion erp5-DCWorkflowGraph erp5-Zelenium python2.4-mechanize

If you want to connect ERP5 with LDAP directory via PluggableAuthService product, you have to add an old version of LDAPMultiPlugins package:

urpmi erp5-LDAPMultiPlugins-1.1

Repository matrix

Note: x86_64 status is alpha / experimental.

ERP5 on versions prior to Mandriva 2006

urpmi ERP5

Other distributions
