HowTo: Install Fedena on Windows Posted by Ralph on July 14th, 2014.

Previously, I wrote a guide on how to install Fedena on Ubuntu 12.04 (Server). In this guide, I’ll

 be showing you how to install Fedena on a computer running Windows. Although, there’s anofficial guide here, it’s outdated, so you’ll probably end up with errors during installation.

For this tutorial, I’ll be using Windows 8.1 64-bit. However, this guide should work on other

versions of Windows.

Install Ruby (rubyinstaller-1.8.7-p374.exe) 

According to the official guide, we need rubyinstaller-1.8.7-p302.exe, however, I personallyrecommend you install the latest 1.8.7 instead, since differences between patch levels should not

affect application behavior (and the latest patch level is always better than an older version).

During Ruby installation check the “Add Ruby executables to your PATH” option, you may also

choose to associate .rb and .rbw files with your Ruby installation.

Install MySQL (mysql-essential-5.0.90-win32.msi) 

Download and install the “essential” version of the MySQL installer v5.0. After installation,

copy libmysql.dll from the MySQL bin directory (usually C:\Program Files(x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\ bin to Ruby’s bin directory (usually C:\Ruby\bin)

 Note the root MySQL password you set as it’s needed later. If you left the password field blank,that’s not a problem, just proceed. 

Setup Fedena (Fedena_Bundle_Win.zip) 

Download Fedena bundle patched source code (linked above).

Extract the archive to a folder (say C:\Fedena). To keep things organized, get rid of the

unnecessary directory structure and situate all the main files at “C:\Fedena”. 

 Navigate to the Fedena source code directory (“C:\Fedena”) from a command prompt window. 

To do this, open a command prompt window using the Windows button and R (⊞ Win + R),

type “cmd” and hit enter. In the command prompt window, the current directory would probably be ‘C:\Users\Username’. To change directory, we use the ‘cd’ command. See this  page for more

information on the CD or Change Directory command. However, if you’re atC:\Users\Username, the command to navigate to C:\Fedena would be cd ../../Fedena

Update RubyGems (v 1.3.7)

gem update --system 1.3.7

 Now, we install bundler:

gem install bundler

Install additional GEMS

From the Fedena source directory, run the following command:

bundle install --local

Update Database File

Update the MySQL database details in config/database.yml

production:host: localhostadapter: mysqldatabase: fedena_ultimateport: 3306username: rootpassword: foradian

cucumber:<<: *test[/code_highlight]

Replace the default password "foradian" with your MySQL password set earlier,or delete the password if you did not set one earlier.

Create the MySQL database.From the Fedena source directory ("C:\Fedena"), run the following command

rake db:create

This will create the required database, using the MySQL connection information supplied earlier.

If you already have this database, run this command instead:

rake db:migrate

 Now, populate the database with the required tables using this command:

rake fedena:plugins:install_all

At this point, the installation should be complete. You can start Fedena with this command:

mongrel_rails start

Your Fedena installation should now be accessible at http://localhost:3000

(http://127.0.0.1:3000)

If you experience any problems, let’s hear in the comments.  —
