Installation on Linux¶

Linux is the preferred deployment platform for ChiliProject. While we always strive to be compatible with other UNIX like systems as well as Windows, those systems are rarely used (in the case of UNIX) or not at all (in the case of Windows) by the core developers. So it might be possible that there are rare undetected bugs on these platforms.

Installation of ChiliProject usually includes the following steps:

1. Installation of Ruby from OS packages (rpm, deb, ...) or from source via RVM
2. Installation of Rails and other ruby packages
3. Setting up a database (MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite3)
4. Installing ChiliProject
5. Setting up an application server. We recommend Phusion Passenger.
6. Installing plugins, themes and other customizations

Distributions¶

There are various official guides on how to install ChiliProject on different distributions. If there is no guide for your operating system of choice yet, you can still refer to the general guide or perform a Google search. Currently, the installation processes is very similar to Redmine, so you could also search for Redmine installation guides and adapt them.
