Sourcefabric Booktype (Book Collab Software)?

@daniel.james

I have set up testservers (UbuntuServer 14.04 and Debian 7 64bit) in Virtualbox, internet access.

I have followed the installguide here http://sourcefabric.booktype.pro/booktype-20-for-authors-and-publishers/automated-install-on-debian-or-ubuntu-gnulinux/

When I have done everything from top of guide and come to type in the following command: sudo apt-get install booktype (or apt-get install booktype in Debian) i get the following result:

Reading package lists… Done Building dependency tree Reading state information… Done E: Unable to locate package booktype

I get the same error both in Ubuntu and Debian at the same place, so what could I be doing wrong here? Or is it something missing in the install guide?

You are not doing anything wrong :-) This error is just because Booktype 2.0 has not been released yet. In the meantime, you can get the daily snapshots from http://apt.sourcefabric.org/snapshots/ and install them with any package manager that supports dependency resolution, for example using gdebi and today’s snapshot:

sudo apt-get install gdebi-core sudo gdebi booktype_2.0.0~20150107-1_all.deb

Let us know how you get on! You will probably need to put the Virtualbox ethernet interfaces into bridged mode so that the test servers can get a real IP address on your local network, for example by DHCP. That makes it easier to interact with the servers using your desktop machine as if it was a remote client.

Booktype 2.0 requires Redis server 2.8 or later, a version which is available in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS ‘Trusty’ but is not currently available in Debian 7 ‘wheezy’. If your Debian server runs wheezy, make sure you have the wheezy-backports apt repository set up. There should be a line similar to:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main

in your /etc/apt/sources.list file. If you need to add a line for wheezy-backports, you can find a list of mirror sites at https://www.debian.org/mirror/list
