#How to Prepare a Development Environment for Tatoeba Using a Pre-made Virtual Machine

## Installing the VM
* Grab the vm file [http://mirrors.bouah.net/pub/tatoeba/Tatovm/](http://mirrors.bouah.net/pub/tatoeba/Tatovm/)

* Untar the file:

   * On Windows: 

        * Download both the vbox and the gz file

        * Use 7zip [http://www.7-zip.org/] to extract Tatovm.vmdk file from the gz file (using the "Extract here" item from the right-click menu)

   * On Linux: use file-roller or from the terminal, type:

   tar -xvf vmfile

* Get and install VirtualBox [https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads]

* Load the VM files in VirtualBox:

  From the GUI: Machine -> Add then browse to the location of the .vbox file

  From the command line: VBoxManage registervm /path/to/vm.vbox

## Accessing the VM
* The default http port is 8080 and the default SSH port is 4242.

* To SSH into the machine, use the username **tatoeba** and password **tatoeba**:

   ssh -p 4242 tatoeba@127.0.0.1

* Now you can see the website running in your browser by pointing it to the following address:

   127.0.0.1:8080

* Steps such as installing packages require superuser privileges. Prior to such steps, execute:

   su -   

   Type in the password **tatovm** when prompted.

   After performing your operation, execute "exit" to end superuser access.

* The MySQL user is **root** and password is **tatoeba** in case you need to do operations directly on the table or import more data.


##Performing Additional Configuration Steps

These steps will eventually be folded into a new VM, but for now, they must be performed after the VM is installed. 

* The current VM was assembled shortly before we made the transition from a Subversion repository on Assembla to a Git repository on GitHub, so execute the following steps to update your code from the new repository:

    * Install the git package if "which git" does not show you that you already have it installed. This requires superuser privileges.

    * Rename /var/http/tatoeba to /var/http/tatoeba-bak .
 
    * In the /var/http directory, pull the code from the [GitHub Tatoeba repository](https://github.com/Tatoeba/tatoeba2) as follows:

    git clone https://github.com/Tatoeba/tatoeba2.git /var/http/tatoeba
 
    * Your new directory /var/http/tatoeba should have the same directory structure as the old /var/http/tatoeba-bak. You can now delete /var/http/tatoeba-bak .

* Execute SQL scripts as follows:

    mysql -u root -ptatoeba tatoeba < /var/http/tatoeba/docs/database/updates/2013-05-31.sql

    mysql -u root -ptatoeba tatoeba < /var/http/tatoeba/docs/database/updates/2013-08-13.sql

    mysql -u root -ptatoeba tatoeba < /var/http/tatoeba/docs/database/scripts/create_fill_langStats.sql

* You may find it useful at this point to back up your databases so that you can return them to their virgin state. Make a directory (for instance, /backup ; this may require root permission) and then execute a command such as this one:

    mysqldump -u root -ptatoeba -A > /backup/all_dbs.sql

* Install curl using these commands (which will require superuser permissions, so you'll need to use "su -" beforehand and "exit" afterwards):
    
    apt-get update

    apt-get install php5-curl

* As root, install poedit and bzr for use with UI translations stored on Launchpad (which uses a Bazaar repository):

    apt-get install poedit

    apt-get install bzr

* Optional: add the following to .bashrc:

    export TERM=xterm-256color
 
## Customizing Your Installation
* There are three ways to access the codebase via your favorite editor in the comfort of your host computer:

   * Mount a drive over SSH:

       * On Windows: download NetDrive [www.netdrive.net] and use the aforementioned credentials and port

       * On Linux: install SSHFS and then mount it using:

       sshfs tatoeba@127.0.0.1:4242 /path/to/mountpoint

    * Mount a drive over WebDAV:

        * On Windows: use NetDrive. The user and password are **tatoeba**, and the port is 8080.

        * On Linux: use your favorite file manager with WebDAV support, or install cadaver and connect using the above credentials.

    * Mount a shared file (slow and not recommended):

        * Set up Guest additions [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/GuestAdditions]

        * In the GUI select Devices -> Shared Folders -> Add

        * Browse to the folder you want to share from your host and select it

        * Select the Make permanent option

        * Now mount the shared file on the guest system:

       mount -t vboxfs /media/sharefoldername /path/to/mountpoint

* You can also install a graphical environment (GNOME or any other development environment) to work directly from the VM:

  apt-get install task-gnome-desktop

##Logging Into Tatoeba on the VM

The users provided by default are:

    admin
    corpus_maintainer
    advanced_contributor
    contributor
    inactive
    spammer

The default password for each user is '123456'.

In addition, you can register new users.

   ssh -p 4242 tatoeba@127.0.0.1
