I would like to use the ArsDigita Community System. How do I set up the basic infrastructure?
To use the ArsDigita Community System, you need a computer with Unix or Linux, Oracle, AOLServer and the Oracle driver for AOLServer installed. We have written a document to aid you in the process of installation. It takes you step-by-step through the steps necessary to build a working system from a bare hard drive through a basic ACS install. We have found that if this document is followed precisely, setup of a complete system usually take 4-5 hours on a reasonably fast machine. The ArsDigita Community System can now be run under Windows 2000. However we advise the use of Unix, as it is the most well-tested and best documented platform for ACS. Those who wish to pursue the 100% open-source route will want to check into the OpenACS project. This is a port of the ACS headed up by a group of external developers. It currently uses PostgreSQL as its relational database of choice, though there are plans to make OpenACS work with other open-source databases in the future.
