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.
