Your Computer (Ubuntu)

NB: this is for a development instance of Blueprint on an Ubuntu Desktop system. There is a separate script for completely provisioning staging/production servers.

Install base packages: compilers, web server, database server, version control system, Ruby and image manipulation libraries:

sudo apt-get install build-essential \
  apache2.2-common \
  mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient15-dev \
  subversion \
  ruby ruby1.8-dev rubygems irb rake \
  imagemagick libmagick++10 libmagick10 libmagick9-dev

Update the Ruby package management system (gem) and install a few required gems:

sudo gem update
sudo gem update --system
sudo rm /usr/bin/gem && sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gem1.8 /usr/bin/gem
sudo gem install mysql

Grab the latest copy of Blueprint:

svn co http://svn.dockyardapp.com/core/trunk blueprint && cd blueprint

You'll probably asked for a password. Hit Enter, then give the username and password provided by Inventive Labs for accessing the Blueprint repository.

Now go configure Blueprint.
