Windows Installation Guide

From Fivedash Wiki

[edit] Step 1: Dependencies

Before installing FIVEDASH, make sure all of these are installed and working:

• Python
• Apache 2
• mod_python -- this needs to be enabled (a separate step) with a 'LoadModule' directive in your Apache config.
• PostgreSQL -- during the install, be sure to check the 'Crypto functions' box on the Contrib options page
• Psycopg 2

[edit] Step 2: Download

Download fivedash-0.7a.rar from the downloads page

[edit] Step 3: Install

After extracting fivedash-0.7a.rar, open the fivedash-0.7a folder and run setup.exe

Notes:

• This is a beta installer -- there are still a few issues, but it works most of the time
• Make sure you enter the correct information at each step
• After installing, restart Apache and point your browser to http://localhost:7080

If you downloaded fivedash-0.7.rar instead of fivedash-0.7a.rar, you'll see an error after clicking 'Finish'. This doesn't mean the installation has failed.
