.. note::
   This documentation was created thanks to Guillaume Sueur from Neogeo Technologies which took time to test 
   installing the ZOO-Kernel on a CentOS 5.5 environment.

Requirements
------------

Install some standard tools to be able to run ZOO-Kernel on your platform :

::

  yum install apache2
  yum install build-essentials
  yum install gcc-c++
  yum install zlib-devel
  yum install libxml2-devel
  yum install bison
  yum install openssl 
  yum install python-devel
  yum install subversion

Compile then install FastCGI library from source

::

  wget http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/fcgi.tar.gz
  tar xzf fcgi-2.4.0.tar.gz 
  ./configure
  make
  make install
  echo /usr/local/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf
  ldconfig

Compile then install the autoconf tools :

::

  wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-latest.tar.gz
  tar xzf autoconf-latest.tar.gz
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make 
  make install

Compile then install the flex tool :

::

  wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/flex/flex/flex-2.5.35/flex-2.5.35.tar.gz?r=http%3A%2F%2Fflex.sourceforge.net%2F&ts=1292529005&use_mirror=switch
  tar xzf flex-2.5.35.tar.gz
  cd flex-2.5.35
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make
  make install

Using the curl provided in the CentOS distribution will produce a ZOO-Kernel unable to run any 
Service. Indeed, some segmentation faults occur when trying to run ``Execute`` requests on the ZOO-Kernel, 
compiling the ZOO-Kernel setting ``USE_GDB`` flag in the ``CFLAGS`` of your ``Makefile`` will let you run 
ZOO-Kernel from gdb and be able to get more information on what is going wrong with your ZOO-Kernel. 
Doing this we can figure out that code on `line 173 <http://zoo-project.org/trac/browser/trunk/zoo-kernel/ulinet.c#L173>`__ 
and `line 175 <http://zoo-project.org/trac/browser/trunk/zoo-kernel/ulinet.c#L175>`__ have to be commented in the 
``ulinet.c`` file to get a ZOO-Kernel working using the curl available in CentOS (curl version 7.15.5). 
If you don't apply the modification, you will get an error from a gdb session pointing 
segfault in ``Curl_cookie_clearall``.

You can optionally compile then install curl from source :

::

  wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.21.3.tar.bz2
  tar xjf curl-7.21.3.tar.bz2
  cd curl-7.21.3
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make
  make install

Compile then install Python :

::
 
  wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.6/Python-2.6.6.tar.bz2
  tar xjf Python-2.6.6.tar.bz2
  cd Python-2.6.6
  ./configure
  make
  make install

Compile then install your own GDAL library :

::

  wget http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/gdal-1.7.3.tar.gz
  tar xzf gdal-1.7.3.tar.gz
  cd gdal-1.7.3
  ./configure  # add your options here
  make
  make install

Install the Sun JAVA SDK into ``/usr/share`` then use the following command to ensure that the ``libjvm.so`` 
will be found at runtime from any context.

::

  echo /usr/share/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0/jre/lib/i386/client/ >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/jvm.conf
  ldconfig

Compile ZOO-Kernel and ZOO-Services
-----------------------------------

Compile then install ZOO-Kernel and your first ZOO-Services.

First of all, compile the cgic library providen in the SVN source tree:

::

  svn co http://svn.zoo-project.org/svn/trunk zoo-project
  cd zoo-project/thirds/cgic206
  make

Compile then install ZOO-Kernel.

::

  cd ../../zoo-kernel
  ./configure --with-java=/usr/share/jdk1.6.0_23/ --with-python
  make zoo_loader.cgi
  cp main.cfg /var/www/cgi-bin/
  cp  zoo_loader.cgi /var/www/cgi-bin/

Compile then deploy your first ZOO-ServicesProviders (simple HelloPy, line 1 and 2, and the OGR base-vect-ops 
ServiceProvider, line 3 to 6):

::

  cp ../zoo-services/hello-py/cgi-env/*.zcfg /var/www/cgi-bin/
  cp ../zoo-services/hello-py/test_service.py /var/www/cgi-bin/
  cd ../ogr/base-vect-ops/
  make
  cp ./cgi-env/* /var/www/cgi-bin/
  vi /var/www/cgi-bin/main.cfg --> set your own informations here

To ensure that the ``libjvm.so`` will be found from apache, please restart it :

::

  /etc/init.d/httpd restart

Testing your ZOO-Kernel
-----------------------

Test your ZOO-Kernel from command line:

::

  cd /var/www/cgi-bin
  ./zoo_loader.cgi "request=Execute&service=WPS&version=1.0.0&Identifier=HelloPy&DataInputs=a=Djay"
  ./zoo_loader.cgi "request=Execute&service=WPS&version=1.0.0&Identifier=Buffer&DataInputs=BufferDistance=1@datat
