These instructions are for any Ubuntu Linux, but except for the name of the package management software it should be identical on other Linux distributions.
|
|
|
|
Using the package manager (I think it's called synaptics) install the dependencies: mysql, python, mysql-python, pygtk
|
|
I don't use ubuntu but I'd imagine it will at some point prompt you for a MySQL root password enter one and when it's done installing everything open a shell/terminal and type this:
|
|
mysql --user=root --password=YourMysqlRootPassword
|
|
It should say something like this:
|
|
|
|
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
|
|
Your MySQL connection id is 4
|
|
Server version: 5.0.60-log Ubuntu Linux mysql-5.0.60-r1
|
|
|
|
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
|
|
|
|
mysql>
|
|
|
|
Now type this:
|
|
CREATE DATABASE fpdb;
|
|
|
|
Next you need to create a user. Type this (replacing newPassword with the password you want the fpdb user to have - this can, but for security shouldn't, be the same as the root mysql password):
|
|
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON fpdb.* TO 'fpdb'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'newPassword' WITH GRANT OPTION;
|
|
|
|
Then download one of the alpha2 archives from the sourceforge page at https://sourceforge.net/projects/fpdb/ and unpack it into a folder of your choice.
|
|
|
|
Next create a directory called .fpdb (the . at the beginning is important) in your home directory, e.g. /home/steffen/.fpdb
|
|
Then copy the default.conf file from the docs directory of the archive into this new folder.
|
|
Finally edit default.conf with any texteditor and enter the fpdb password you entered above (in the GRANT ALL... command).
|
|
|
|
This should be it, try double clicking pyfpdb/fpdb.py or open it from a shell with python /path/to/fpdb/pyfpdb/fpdb.py
|
|
|
|
Now see readme-user.txt for usage instructions.
