Installing Sphinx on the VM

  • Download the latest version of Sphinx (starting out as the ordinary tatoeba user, not superuser):

    mkdir ~/downloads

    cd ~/downloads/

    wget http://sphinxsearch.com/files/sphinxsearch_2.1.5-release-1~wheezy_i386.deb

    su -

    dpkg -i sphinxsearch_2.1.5-release-1~wheezy_i386.deb

    exit

  • Now make the Sphinx directory and subdirectories:

    mkdir ~/sphinx

    cd ~/sphinx

    mkdir indices

    mkdir log
