Trac Installation Project (Action Support)

Desired Outcome
Installation of Trac within my 1and1 Unlimited Account, to keep track of all web-based development projects

20150528 Trying to understand the command line for the Trac installation:

python setup.py install –prefix=$HOME/bin/python

I can understand how to get into the installer directory, but not understanding the –prefix part. Also, getting an error re: SystemTools

Q: What are the parts that make up the command line?

Understanding requirements and components needed for installation

-Making an SSH connection into 1and1.com
20150509 www.paulgarth.name is the account I would need to use as it has capability for SSH connections. I followed this instruction set and it worked — http://help.1and1.com/hosting-c37630/webspace-and-access-c85098/ssh-c37775/establish-an-ssh-connection-from-a-pc-a595890.html I just needed to find the original username and password, which is the same as the original ftp address on the account.

-Installing the system

Following instructions from: https://chrisjackson.us/trac-installed-on-11/
Note: The latest version for Trac is Trac-1.0.5.tar.gz

mkdir install_trac_files (Make a directory)
cd install_trac_files (Go into directory)
wget http://ftp.edgewall.com/pub/trac/Trac-1.0.5.tar.gz (Get the install files)
tar xzvf Trac-1.0.5.tar.gz (Unpack)
cd Trac-1.0.5 (Go into Directory)
python setup.py install –prefix=$HOME/bin/python (Setup Python — I think…)

Error after the python statement
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “setup.py”, line 17, in
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
ImportError: No module named setuptools

This is a web-site that assists with Python install — https://docs.python.org/2/install/

This site talks about installing Python on 1and1 — http://www.andrewault.net/2010/03/15/making-and-installing-python-on-a-1and1-shared-host/

Note: I’m thinking that I need to install Python before running the commands from Chris Jackson

This is info from 1and1 re: Python — https://help.1and1.com/hosting-c37630/scripts-and-programming-languages-c85099/python-c85148/installed-python-modules-a595984.html

-Configuring the system

Integrating system with other systems, eg wiki

Closing out the project
