These are notes on installing Sycamore (sapling branch, specificlly) on TekTonic hositing. This guide expects the reader has basic Unix experience, including rather basic apt-get experience.

Order hosting from
![[WWW]](http://wikispot.org/wiki/eggheadbeta/img/sycamore-www.png)
Tektonic. The unmanaged hosting plan
Linux 2 should be beefy enough for most new wiki's, and you should order it running 'Ubuntu 6.06' (as of 2007.06.07).
-
Get your password and login information, confirm your order, and get what is needed.
-
Log in via SSH. Make sure you can sudo.
-
Update software
4.1 Get required libraries
The basic install isn't setup with a list of repositories for apt to draw updates from. You will need to create a etc/apt/sources.list. If you don't know how to do this (I didn't) there is a good guide to doing so at Ubuntu guide's
Repositories section. 4.2 Update via apt-get
Run apt-get update. It should succeed, without error message (but possibly with warnings).
4.3 Check for required packages via apt-cache
Use apt-cache to look and see what packages are installed on the machine. Be sure that you have all of the packages listed in the Install section on How to Install. These packages should be easily installed by runnign apt-get for each required package.
-
Setup the database
Setup the database as detailed in step 4 of How to Install.
