This page describes the isntallation of the [http://cryptobox.org CryptoBox] server-package in a OpenSuse 10.2 environment. The server-package is primarly built for Debian but also works in other Linux distributions. Unfortunately you have to fullfill some depencies manually, which takes a bit more time.

CryptoBox server in OpenSuse 10.2

• Install the packages python-devel und gcc via yast. They are in the main OpenSuse repository.

  • These two packages are just needed to install the CryptoBox dependent software and can be removed afterwards.

• Download the latest [http://download.cherrypy.org/cherrypy/2.2.1/ CherryPy version from the 2.2 branch] (here: 2.2.1) to /tmp and unpack and install it with the following commands:

  cd /tmp
  tar zxf CherryPy-2.2.1.tar.gz
  cd CherryPy-2.2.1
  python setup.py install

• Download the latest [http://www.clearsilver.net/downloads/clearsilver-0.10.5.tar.gz ClearSilver Source Release] (here: 0.10.5) to /tmp and install it with the following commands:

  cd /tmp
  tar zxf clearsilver-0.10.5.tar.gz
  cd clearsilver-0.10.5
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --diable-java --diable-perl --disable-csharp --disable-ruby --disable-apache --enable-gettext --with-python=/usr/bin/python
  make
  make install

• Download the [ftp://ftp.ucolick.org/pub/users/will/ latest version of "super"] (this allows to run the CryptoBox with a non-root uid) and install it:

  cd /tmp
  tar zxf super_3.27.1.orig.tar.gz
  ./configure
  make
  make install

• Download a [python-configobj rpm] from the packman OpenSuse repository and install with:

  rpm -i python-configobj-4.4.0-0.pm.1.i586.rpm

• TODO: install cryptsetup
• Puh after that you know the magic spell (configure, make, make install) to install source packages.

• Now you're ready to get the latest [http://codecoop.org/frs/download.php/120/cryptobox-server_0.3.4.4-1.tar.gz CryptoBox server-package] (here 0.3.4.4-1) from codecoop and unpack it:
