<h1>Before Starting</h1>
<h2>Debian Users</h2>
<p>Ideally you will be running a recent Debian (or Ubuntu) release and will
be able to add:</p>
<pre>
deb http://debian.mcmillan.net.nz/debian lenny awm
</pre>
<p>to your <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code>. Once you have done that you
can use <code>apt-get</code> or <code>synaptic</code> or some other equivalent package
manager to fetch and install <code>DAViCal</code> and all the dependencies.</p>
<p>This repository is signed by Andrew McMillan's public key, which you can install so that
you don't get asked for confirmation all the time:</p>
<pre>
sudo apt-key advanced --keyserver pgp.net.nz --recv-keys F6E0FA5CF0307507BB23A512EAFCFEBF8FEB8EBF
</pre>
<p>Skip to the "Database Setup" part if you have done that already.</p>
<p>Recent Debian (and Ubuntu) releases have DAViCal 1.1.1 and AWL 0.53
(a library referenced by DAViCal) available in their repositories,
and you can use apt-get or similar tools to download and install
DAViCal. Once you have done that, you should be able to proceed to
the Database Setup section, below.</p>
<h2>Other Linux Users</h2>
<p>Please write something up about your experiences in the Wiki, adding distribution specific
notes to pages somewhere under here:
<a href="http://wiki.davical.org/w/Installation_Stuff">http://wiki.davical.org/w/Installation_Stuff</a></p>
<p>The <a href="http://wiki.davical.org">DAViCal wiki</a> contains
information on installation on other versions of Linux. Please feel
free to contribute your experiences, using the mailing list if you
don't have a wiki account.</p>
<h3>RPM Packages of DAViCal</h3>
<p>We have created RPM packages of DAViCal and libawl-php from the .deb packages
using "alien". These are reported to work fine, so use them and then proceed to the
Pre-requisites section below. If you would like to work with us to create native
RPM packages please get in touch!</p>
<p>In many cases, you will need to download the latest versions of
the <code>DAViCal</code> and <code>awl</code> packages from
the <a href="https://gitlab.com/groups/davical-project">repository on
GitLab</a>. More details on this are on
the <a href="http://davical.dhits.nl/index.php?title=Downloading">Downloading
page on the wiki</a>.</p>
<h3>SuSE Linux</h3>
<p>On SuSE Linux you may need to look in /var/lib/pgsql/data/ for the pg_hba.conf file.</p>
<h3>Gentoo</h3>
<p>Davical and the awl library ebuilds are available on the <a href="http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/sunrise/">sunrise overlay</a>.
You'll have to add this overlay to your system:</p>
<pre>
emerge layman
layman -f -a sunrise
echo "source /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf" &gt;&gt; /etc/make.conf
</pre>
<p>From there, you can keep the overlay in sync with the command:</p>
<pre>layman -s sunrise</pre>
<p>Davical can now be installed with a normal:</p>
<pre>emerge davical</pre>
<h3>Slackware, BSD and the rest</h3>
<p>You will need to download the latest versions of the <code>DAViCal</code> and <code>awl</code> packages
from the <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/davical/files/">sourceforge download page for DAViCal</a>.</p>
<p>You will need to untar these. Preferably you will untar them from within the "<code>/usr/share</code>" directory and everything
will be in it's expected location (well, except the docs, but it will at least be tidy and everything will be in one place).</p>
<p>We would like to hear from non-Debian users regarding things which might have been missed, or things you have
learned about the system, so please write about your installation experiences on the Wiki, or post a message
in the Sourceforge forums.</p>

<h2>Non-Linux Users</h2>
<p>We would really like to hear from you. As far as we can see there is no reason why this
can't all work on FreeBSD, Microsoft Windows, VMS, Mac OS or whatever else, as long as the
pre-requisites are able to be installed.</p>
<p>For Unix and unix-like operating systems the "Other Linux Users" instructions are likely
to be reasonably close to what you need. For other systems everything will need some
adjustment, and in particular some of the path name and shell expectations coded into
the database creation scripts are likely to need love.</p>

<p>Since the CalDAV store takes over a significant amount of path
hierarchy, it can be easier in it's own virtual
hierarchy, it can be easier in its own virtual
host. If you want it to operate within the web root of some
other application there are instructions on the Wiki about doing this,
as well as other fancy tricks such as configuring URL rewriting in
