Software Requirements

From Maay

These instruction are intended for people using a unix-like OS.

A few Python libraries are required to make the whole think work. Most of them should be available in your OS distribution too :

• logilab common libraries > 0.12 (http://www.logilab.org/projects/common). If you use the version 0.12.0, override the file db.py (http://maay.netofpeers.net/files/common/db.py) in the common-0.12.0 directory.
• mysql-python (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python)
• python-twisted (http://twistedmatrix.com/)
• zope.interface (http://www.zope.org/Products/ZopeInterface/)
• python-twisted-web (http://twistedmatrix.com/)
• nevow (http://www.divmod.org/trac/wiki/DivmodNevow) (>= 0.6)

You will also need a few helper applications to perform the conversion of various binary formats to something that Maay can index. There is probably a prebuilt binary available for your OS distribution somewhere. You will need to download and install :

• pdftohtml (http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net/)
• antiword (http://www.winfield.demon.nl)
• unrtf (http://www.gnu.org/software/unrtf/unrtf.html)

Maay also requires the MySQL server and client:

• MySQL (http://www.mysql.com) (>= 4.1)
