Install The Socialized.Net
- Install Python (only if you
don't have it already). If you don't know, try to complete
step 5. If that fails, install python. You can download
python at http://www.python.org/download/.
- Create a directory for TSN (say c:\TSN for Windows, or ~/tsn/ for Linux)
- Download TSN from here to the directory you made above.
- Unpack The Socialized.Net files (Windows: Winzip, winrar, Linux: "tar jxf TSN-FILENAME")
- Start it (In Windows, double-click the "seersd.py" file. In
Linux, change to the tsn directory and start it with "./seersd.py")
- Go to http://localhost:8002/LeChuck/
You should now get the web interface of the daemon in your
browser. The online help system might be useful...
Configuration
You might want to configure TSN when it is up and running, although
this is not necessary. Go to the Administer page in
order to do so. Points of interest should be "Automatic updates",
which when enabled will automatically perform upgrades of TSN. If
you leave this "Disabled", you must manually upgrade the daemon through
the web interface (you will be notified when a new version is ready).
If you have MySQL on your PC, you can enable the MySQL backend in order
to speed up local searching. You will then need the administrator
name and password for MySQL. TSN only uses MySQL as a cache, so
if you later disable MySQL, no data should be lost.
Known issues
TSN uses databases provided by Python (the Shelve module), and some of
these are prone to errors when TSN crashes. If this happens, try
to start the daemon with "--recover". If this does not help, you
might need to manually fix or erase the database file in question.
TSN is a prototype, so anything can happen. If you find any bugs
or unknown issues, please report them to me at njaal@socialized.net.
