The following are general guidelines to getting Giterary running. These instructions are biased towards the Linux side of things, but there is no reason an enterprising individual couldn’t get them running on Mac OS or Windows.

Requirements

• A computer capable of running PHP 5.3 or greater and git 1.7.X.X or greater.

  These are widely available from many different Linux distribution packaging mechanisms (Debian and Ubuntu’s apt-get, Centos and Fedora’s yum, etc.) Binary packages are also available from their respective sites for all operating systems.

• Web server software that supports running PHP

  Numerous pieces of web server software support the use of PHP. Many LAMP setups are pre-configured simply for this ("Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP").

  • Apache (Available on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows)
  • Nginx (Available on Linux, Windows, probably Mac OS)
  • IIS (Windows) (Available on Windows)

  While installing these HTTP servers you should ensure that the steps taken to enable PHP have been taken before proceeding. Those steps are beyond the scope of this document, but are well documented elsewhere. There are also numerous “appliance” virutal machines available on the web, pre-configured to support your flavor of HTTP server. If you are installing to “the cloud,” this may be an easier route than configuring your own HTTP server (though, we would invite you to learn about such things, as they are valuable things to be knowledgeable about). * [TurnKey Linux][turnkey]
