h1. How to create RRR from scratch
h2. Setup local Drupal website environment
* Install XAMMP - web stack including database and web server apache
* Download relevant version from http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-macosx.html#849
* Run the installer
* Open XAMPP manager application and start all the servers (MySQL, Apache and ProFTPD)
* Install drush - command line utility to manage Drupal websites
* Install git - command line utility to manage version control
* Install drupal and use git to track its repository
* Navigate to your XAMMP/htdocs/ folder
* Run
<pre>
drush dl drupal --package-handler=git_drupalorg
</pre>
* Rename the folder with the name of your site site_name
* Create new database
* Run
<pre>
mysqladmin -u root -p create dbname
</pre>
where dbname is the name of the database and root is the user
* set privileges following instructions in the INSTALL.dbtype file in the Drupal folder (where dbtype is the kind of database used - e.g. MySQL)
* Create new site
* Point a browser to localhost/site_name
* Follow the installation instructions
At this point, you have a clean drupal website that can be accessed locally at http://localhost/site_name
h2. Setup remote Drupal website environment.
These instructions are very similar to the above, with the exception that instead of hosting the website on a local machine, it will be hosted on a remote server.
* ssh to the remote server
* Install drush - command line utility to manage Drupal websites
* Install git - command line utility to manage version control
* Install drupal and use git to track its repository
* Navigate to your /var/www folder
* Run
<pre>
drush dl drupal
</pre>
* Rename the folder with the name of your site site_name
* Create new database
* Run
<pre>
mysqladmin -u root -p create dbname
</pre>
where dbname is the name of the database and root is the user
* set privileges following instructions in the INSTALL.dbtype file in the Drupal folder (where dbtype is the kind of database used - e.g. MySQL)
* Create new site
* Point a browser to hostname/site_name
* Follow the installation instructions
At this point, you have a clean drupal website that can be accessed locally at http://hostname/site_name
h2. Obtain RRR modules and settings
* Clone the RR repository to a folder of your choice by running the command
<pre>
hg clone https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/hg/rr-repo
</pre>
* Copy the features module rr-repo/sites/all/modules/experiments_list to the modules folder of your website XAMPP/htdocs/site_name/sites/all/modules
* Enable modules by running
<pre>
drush pm-enable experiments_list
</pre>
