h2. Prerequisites
4 1 Marcus Pearce
5 2 Marcus Pearce
* "Steel Bank Common Lisp [SBCL]":http://www.sbcl.org/platform-table.html
6 7 Jeremy Gow
* "Quicklisp":http://www.quicklisp.org/beta/ is a library manager for Common Lisp.  Just download "<code>quicklisp.lisp</code>":http://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp
7 7 Jeremy Gow
* An SQL database.  I would recommend  "SQLite":http://www.sqlite.org/

9 7 Jeremy Gow
Many people find "Emacs":http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ with "Slime":http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/ useful for Common Lisp development.  Package management systems can simplify the installation of these prerequisites, e.g. "Fink":http://www.finkproject.org/ or "Macports":http://www.macports.org/ for OS X.

11 7 Jeremy Gow
See the "CLSQL Manual":http://clsql.b9.com/manual/ for information on other database systems you can use and how to access them from Common Lisp.  If you prefer not to use Quicklisp, you will need to install the following Lisp libraries: "UFFI":http://uffi.bi.com, "CLSQL":http://clsql.b9.com, "CL-PPCRE":http://www.weitz.de/cl-ppcre/, "PS-Graph":http://www.cliki.net/psgraph, "Midi":http://www.cliki.net/midi

If you are a new user of Quicklisp and you have existing installations of any of these libraries, then you would do well to remove them and clear the corresponding ASDF entries from your .sbclrc file first.

h2. Install Quicklisp
16 1 Marcus Pearce
17 22 Jeremy Gow
First download  "<code>quicklisp.lisp</code>":http://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp to a directory <code>DIR_A</code>.  You can then install Quicklisp to another directory of your choice <code>DIR_B</code>:
18 1 Marcus Pearce
19 1 Marcus Pearce
<pre>
20 22 Jeremy Gow
(load "/DIR_A/quicklisp.lisp")
21 22 Jeremy Gow
(quicklisp-quickstart:install :path "/DIR_B/quicklisp/")
22 1 Marcus Pearce
(ql:add-to-init-file)
23 1 Marcus Pearce
</pre>
24 22 Jeremy Gow
25 26 Marcus Pearce
Use the full pathnames for both directories (Lisp doesn't interpret shell substitutions like ~ for the home directory).
26 1 Marcus Pearce
27 7 Jeremy Gow
h2. Download IDyOM
28 1 Marcus Pearce
29 9 Jeremy Gow
Download the following Lisp libraries, and unzip them into <code>DIR/quicklisp/local-projects/</code>
30 19 Jeremy Gow
* "idyom":https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/hg/idyom/archive/stable.zip
31 1 Marcus Pearce
* "AMuSE":https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/hg/amuse/archive/tip.zip

* "amuse-viewpoints":https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/hg/amuse-viewpoints/archive/tip.zip

* "MIPS":https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/hg/mips/archive/tip.zip
34 1 Marcus Pearce
* "mtp-admin":https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/hg/mtp-admin/archive/tip.zip

* "ppm-star":https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/hg/ppm-star/archive/tip.zip

The <code>local-projects</code> directory should now contain six subdirectories, one for each library.

39 12 Jeremy Gow
h2. Set <code>*idyom-root*</code>
40 1 Marcus Pearce
41 28 Marcus Pearce
IDyOM requires the global variable <code>*idyom-root*</code> be set to a suitable working directory, where it stores models, cross-validation settings, cached results etc. By default, this is a directory called 'idyom' in your home directory. Alternatively, you can customise the location by setting the variable <code>*idyom-root*</code> to point to the desired directory by including the following in your <code>.sbclrc</code> file, located in your home directory (you must restart SBCL for this to take effect):
42 21 Jeremy Gow
43 1 Marcus Pearce
<pre>
44 29 Marcus Pearce
(defvar *idyom-root* "/FULL/PATH/TO/WORKING/DIR/")
45 1 Marcus Pearce
</pre>
46 28 Marcus Pearce
47 10 Jeremy Gow
However you configure this, you must ensure that the directory exists (create it if it doesn't) and you will also need to create three directories below <code>*idyom-root*</code> for IDyOM to use: <code>*idyom-root*/data/cache/</code>, <code>data/models/</code> and <code>data/resampling/</code>.
48 16 Jeremy Gow
49 1 Marcus Pearce
h2. Install IDyOM
50 7 Jeremy Gow
51 9 Jeremy Gow
You can now use Quicklisp to install IDyOM:
52 5 Marcus Pearce
<pre>
53 7 Jeremy Gow
(ql:quickload "idyom")
54 5 Marcus Pearce
</pre>
55 9 Jeremy Gow
This will also install the third-party Lisp libraries IDyOM depends on.  The first time it loads, you may get an error which brings up the debugger.  Press 2 [ACCEPT] and the installation should complete.

h2. Create a database
58 1 Marcus Pearce
59 30 Marcus Pearce
IDyOM is now installed, but you will need a database in order to use it.  For example, to create an SQLite database called 'example.db' in directory <code>DIR</code>:
60 5 Marcus Pearce
61 1 Marcus Pearce
<pre>
62 1 Marcus Pearce
(clsql:connect '("DIR/example.db") :if-exists :old :database-type :sqlite3)
63 8 Jeremy Gow
</pre>
64 8 Jeremy Gow
Alternatively, to connect to an existing local MySQL database:
65 8 Jeremy Gow
<pre>
66 8 Jeremy Gow
(clsql:connect '("localhost" "example-database" "username" "password") :if-exists :old :database-type :mysql)
67 8 Jeremy Gow
</pre>
68 8 Jeremy Gow
See the "CLSQL documentation":http://clsql.b9.com/manual/ for more on "connect":http://clsql.b9.com/manual/connect.html and "supported databases":http://clsql.b9.com/manual/prerequisites.html#idp8251808.
69 8 Jeremy Gow
70 8 Jeremy Gow
Finally, for a new database: 
71 8 Jeremy Gow
<pre>
72 7 Jeremy Gow
(mtp-admin:initialise-database)
73 7 Jeremy Gow
</pre>
74 1 Marcus Pearce
75 1 Marcus Pearce
You may now proceed to the [[tutorial]].

h3. Problems loading foreign libraries
78 8 Jeremy Gow
79 8 Jeremy Gow
Depending on how your system is configured, <code>clsql:connect</code> may give a "Couldn't load foreign libraries" error.  In this case, you
80 8 Jeremy Gow
need to "tell CLSQL where it can find these libraries":http://clsql.b9.com/manual/appendix.html#foreignlibs, e.g.
81 8 Jeremy Gow
<pre>
82 8 Jeremy Gow
(clsql:push-library-path "/usr/local/mysql/lib/")
83 8 Jeremy Gow
</pre>
84 9 Jeremy Gow
The exact path will depend on your system.  Note that, for some database installations these libraries may not have been installed, and you should consult the database documentation.

h2. Create a startup script [optional]
87 1 Marcus Pearce
88 11 Jeremy Gow
Every time you start IDyOM, you will need to connect to the database.  You may find it easier to combine all the startup commands in a single script, e.g.
89 11 Jeremy Gow
90 11 Jeremy Gow
<pre>
91 11 Jeremy Gow
(ql:quickload "idyom")
92 11 Jeremy Gow
(clsql:push-library-path "/usr/local/mysql/lib/")
93 15 Jeremy Gow
(defun connect-example ()
94 1 Marcus Pearce
  (clsql:connect '("DIR/example.db") :if-exists :old :database-type :sqlite3))
95 18 Jeremy Gow
(connect-example)
