== Installing the Electric Sheep server ==

1. Install the dependencies:

apt-get install libapache2-mod-perl2 graphviz netpbm libjpeg-progs mjpegtools electricsheep

2. Untar the [http://electricsheep.org/electricsheep-server-2.6.tar.gz server tarball] somewhere.

3. Edit cgi/config.pl

4. Edit cgi/global.pl

5. Edit etc/rc.fsd

6. Do this from the base directory:
cd src
make pnmmultipaste
cd ..
cp src/pnmmultipaste bin
cp /usr/bin/flam3-genome bin
cp /usr/bin/dot bin

7. Configure apache to point at the server, with configured Perl cgi:

Alias /sheep/cgi/list "/home/sheep/docroot/v2.6/cgi/list.txt"
ScriptAlias /sheep/cgi/get "/home/sheep/docroot/v2.6/cgi/get.cgi"
ScriptAlias /sheep/cgi/put "/home/sheep/docroot/v2.6/cgi/put.cgi"
ScriptAlias /sheep/cgi/ "/home/sheep/docroot/v2.6/cgi/"
Alias /sheep/ "/home/sheep/docroot/v2.6/"

<Directory "/home/sheep/v2.6/cgi">
SetEnv PERL5LIB /home/sheep/docroot/v2.6/cgi
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
# stop access to perl and backup files
<FilesMatch "(.pl|~)$">
Deny from all
</FilesMatch>
</Directory>

<Directory "/home/sheep/docroot/v2.6">
# need this as mpgs are links
Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
