Installing LibreTime
LibreTime releases can be downloaded here.
Recommendations:
- LibreTime should generally be installed on a dedicated host running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus).
- LibreTime is undergoing active development, and is currently in ALPHA.
- It is not recommended that you install LibreTime on the same computer you are using as a desktop.
- Please review the release notes of the version you are planning on installing.
Once you have downloaded and extracted LibreTime, run the installation script by navigating into the folder containing the LibreTime codebase, and run it's install script from the command line:
sudo ./install
By default, the installer will install and configure all dependencies.
Alternative OS installations
Installation in Debian 9 and other Linux distributions is possible, but multiple outstanding issues have yet to be resolved. Installation on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS (Trusty Tahr) is also working, but deprecated due to the fact that this version will reach its official end of life in April 2019.
Plans are in the works for .deb and .rpm packages, as well as Docker and AWS images.
Please note that the install script does not take care to ensure that any packages installed are set up in a secure manner. Please see the chapter on preparing the server for more details on how to set up a secure installation.
