Work in progress
This guide is written for Ubuntu 10.04.
sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-wsgi git-core python-virtualenv postfix openjdk-6-jre-headless postgresql python-psycopg2
Make a virtual python environment.
cd /opt/python_environments/ sudo virtualenv --no-site-packages norduni
Install needed python modules.
sudo su source python_environments/norduni/bin/activate pip install django ipaddr argparse pexpect markdown
Add the following python modules if you are running the Neo4j stand alone server:
pip install httplib2
Get the NORDUni files:
cd /var/opt/ git clone git://git.nordu.net/norduni.git
Get the NERDS files:
mkdir /opt/norduni/tools/ cd /opt/norduni/tools/ git clone https://github.com/fredrikt/nerds.git
Symlink admin media and the virtual python environment to niweb.
cd /var/opt/norduni/scr/niweb/ ln -s /var/opt/python_environments/norduni/ env cd static ln -s ../env/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media/ admin
Set password for database user and create a new database
sudo -u postgres psql postgres \password postgres Ctrl+D sudo -u postgres createdb norduni
Change the django settings.
cd /opt/norduni/scr/niweb/ cp generic_settings.py settings.py vi settings.py
Create a file name niweb in /etc/apache2/conf.d/.
WSGIPythonPath "/var/opt/norduni/scr:/var/opt/norduni/scr/niweb" WSGIPythonHome "/var/opt/norduni/scr/niweb/env" WSGIRestrictStdin Off WSGIRestrictStdout Off WSGIScriptAlias / /var/opt/norduni/scr/sso.wsgi
Add the following lines to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl

Set up a GIT repository for the JSON files produced by the NERDS producers and make a clone in /var/opt/. We have a GIT repository called nistore
and we have made a clone found at /var/opt/nistore/.
Produce JSON files with the producers you want.
Consume the recently produces JSON files with the NORDUni consume scripts.
Install Neo4j graph database
Neo4j 1.5 embedded with Python bindings (recommended)
pip install neo4j-embedded
Neo4j 1.3 REST stand alone server
Download neo4j-1.3 from http://neo4j.org.
Extract the file to, for example, /var/opt/norduni/dependencies/.
cd /var/opt/norduni/dependencies/ tar xfz neo4j-1.3.tar.gz
Copy the startup script from /var/opt/norduni/scr/scripts/neo4j/ to /etc/init.d/ and then make neo4j start on boot.
update-rc.d /et/init.d/neo4j defaults
You need to shut down port 7474 from anything except localhost.
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 7474 -s localhost -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 7474 -j DROP
Save the rules and add the following line to your interface configuration so you will restore the rules on a reboot.
bash -c "iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules" vi /etc/network/interfaces iface eth0 inet static pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules
