Installing Sympl

There are a couple of ways of installing Sympl at present.

You will need a Debian Linux server running Stretch (9) or Buster (10), and root access to the server. We suggest the server is freshly re-imaged, with only minimal things installed on it.

Automatic Install

There is a basic auto-install script which can be used to install Sympl with minimal intervention and point the user to important resources.

Install Stable/Production Version

wget https://gitlab.mythic-beasts.com/sympl/install/raw/master/install.sh

bash install.sh

Install Beta/Testing Version

wget https://gitlab.mythic-beasts.com/sympl/install/raw/master/install.sh

bash install.sh --testing

Manual Install

Alternatively, you can install manually:

wget -qO- http://mirror.mythic-beasts.com/mythic/support@mythic-beasts.com.gpg.key | apt-key add -

echo deb http://packages.mythic-beasts.com/mythic/ stretch main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sympl_mythic-beasts.list

apt-get update

apt-get install --install-recommends sympl-core

You will be prompted for a number of things during the install - information to follow.

Remember to set the new 'sympl' users password with passwd sympl once you have installed.
