    4 Trac is written in the Python programming language and needs a database, [http://sqlite.org/ SQLite], [http://www.postgresql.org/ PostgreSQL], or [http://mysql.com/ MySQL]. For HTML rendering, Trac uses the [http://genshi.edgewall.org Genshi] templating system.
     4Trac is written in the Python programming language and needs a database, [https://sqlite.org/ SQLite], [https://www.postgresql.org/ PostgreSQL], or [https://mysql.com/ MySQL]. For HTML rendering, Trac uses the [http://jinja.pocoo.org Jinja2] templating system, though Genshi templates are supported until Trac 1.5.1.
    55
    66Trac can also be localized, and there is probably a translation available in your language. If you want to use the Trac interface in other languages, then make sure you have installed the optional package [#OtherPythonPackages Babel]. Pay attention to the extra steps for localization support in the [#InstallingTrac Installing Trac] section below. Lacking Babel, you will only get the default English version.

     16
    1617To install Trac, the following software packages must be installed:
    1718
    18  * [http://www.python.org/ Python], version >= 2.6 and < 3.0
    19    (note that we dropped the support for Python 2.5 in this release)
    20  * [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools setuptools], version >= 0.6
    21  * [http://genshi.edgewall.org/wiki/Download Genshi], version >= 0.6
    22 
    23 You also need a database system and the corresponding python bindings. The database can be either SQLite, PostgreSQL or MySQL.
     19 * [https://www.python.org/ Python], version >= 3.5
     20 * [https://pypi.org/project/setuptools setuptools], version > 5.6

     43 * [https://mysql.com/ MySQL], version 5.0 or later
     44 * [https://pypi.org/project/PyMySQL PyMySQL]
    4545
    4646Given the caveats and known issues surrounding MySQL, read carefully the [trac:MySqlDb] page before creating the database.
    … …  
    5050==== Subversion
    5151
    52 [http://subversion.apache.org/ Subversion], 1.6.x or later and the '''''corresponding''''' Python bindings.
    53 
    54 There are [http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html pre-compiled SWIG bindings] available for various platforms. (Good luck finding precompiled SWIG bindings for any Windows package at that listing. [trac:TracSubversion] points you to [http://alagazam.net Alagazam], which works for me under Python 2.6.)
    55 
    56 For troubleshooting information, see the [trac:TracSubversion#Troubleshooting TracSubversion] page.

    7171
    7272==== Web Server
     73
    7374A web server is optional because Trac is shipped with a server included, see the [#RunningtheStandaloneServer Running the Standalone Server] section below.
    7475
    7576Alternatively you can configure Trac to run in any of the following environments:
    76  * [http://httpd.apache.org/ Apache] with
    77    - [https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi mod_wsgi], see [wiki:TracModWSGI] and

    7980   - [http://modpython.org/ mod_python 3.5.0], see TracModPython
    80  * a [http://www.fastcgi.com/ FastCGI]-capable web server (see TracFastCgi)
    81  * an [http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/ajp/ajpv13a.html AJP]-capable web
    82    server (see [trac:TracOnWindowsIisAjp TracOnWindowsIisAjp])
     81 * a [https://fastcgi-archives.github.io FastCGI]-capable web server (see TracFastCgi)
     82 * an [https://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/ajp/ajpv13a.html AJP]-capable web server (see [trac:TracOnWindowsIisAjp TracOnWindowsIisAjp])
    8383 * Microsoft IIS with FastCGI and a FastCGI-to-WSGI gateway (see [trac:CookBook/Installation/TracOnWindowsIisWfastcgi IIS with FastCGI])
    84  * a CGI-capable web server (see TracCgi), '''but usage of Trac as a cgi script
    85    is highly discouraged''', better use one of the previous options.
    86

    8785
    8886==== Other Python Packages
    8987
    90  * [http://babel.edgewall.org Babel], version 0.9.6 or >= 1.3,
    91    needed for localization support
    92  * [http://docutils.sourceforge.net/ docutils], version >= 0.3.9
    93    for WikiRestructuredText.
    94  * [http://pygments.org Pygments] for
    95    [TracSyntaxColoring syntax highlighting].
    96  * [http://pytz.sf.net pytz] to get a complete list of time zones,
    97    otherwise Trac will fall back on a shorter list from
    98    an internal time zone implementation.
     88 * [http://babel.pocoo.org Babel], version >= 2.2, needed for localization support
     89 * [http://pytz.sourceforge.net pytz] to get a complete list of time zones, otherwise Trac will fall back on a shorter list from an internal time zone implementation. Installing Babel will install pytz.
     90 * [http://docutils.sourceforge.net docutils], version >= 0.14, for WikiRestructuredText.
     91 * [http://pygments.org Pygments], version >= 1.0, for [TracSyntaxColoring syntax highlighting].

    110106It is assumed throughout this guide that you have elevated permissions as the `root` user or by prefixing commands with `sudo`. The umask `0002` should be used for a typical installation on a Unix-based platform.
    111107
    112 === Using `easy_install`
    113 Trac can be installed from PyPI or the Subversion repository using [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools setuptools].
    114 
    115 A few examples:
    116 
    117  - Install the latest stable version of Trac:
    118  {{{#!sh
    119 $ easy_install Trac
    120 }}}
    121  - Install latest development version:
    122  {{{#!sh
    123 $ easy_install http://download.edgewall.org/trac/Trac-latest-dev.tar.gz
    124 }}}
    125    Note that in this case you won't have the possibility to run a localized version of Trac;
    126    either use a released version or install from source
    127 
    128 More information can be found on the [trac:wiki:setuptools setuptools] page.
    129 
    130 {{{#!div style="border: 1pt dotted; margin: 1em"
    131 **Setuptools Warning:** If the version of your setuptools is in the range 5.4 through 5.6, the environment variable `PKG_RESOURCES_CACHE_ZIP_MANIFESTS` must be set in order to avoid significant performance degradation. More information may be found in [#DeployingTrac Deploying Trac].
    132 }}}
    133 
    134108=== Using `pip`
    135 'pip' is an easy_install replacement that is very useful to quickly install python packages.
    136 To get a Trac installation up and running in less than 5 minutes:
    137 
    138 Assuming you want to have your entire pip installation in `/opt/user/trac`
    139 
    140  -
    141  {{{#!sh
    142 pip install trac psycopg2
    143 }}}
    144 or
    145  -
    146  {{{#!sh
    147 pip install trac mysql-python
    148 }}}
    149 
    150 Make sure your OS specific headers are available for pip to automatically build PostgreSQL (`libpq-dev`) or MySQL (`libmysqlclient-dev`) bindings.
    151 
    152 pip will automatically resolve all dependencies (like Genshi, pygments, etc.), download the latest packages from pypi.python.org and create a self contained installation in `/opt/user/trac`.
    153 
    154 All commands (`tracd`, `trac-admin`) are available in `/opt/user/trac/bin`. This can also be leveraged for `mod_python` (using `PythonHandler` directive) and `mod_wsgi` (using `WSGIDaemonProcess` directive)
    155 
    156 Additionally, you can install several Trac plugins (listed [https://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=browse&show=all&c=516 here]) through pip.
    157 
    158 === From source
    159 Using the python-typical setup at the top of the source directory also works. You can obtain the source for a .tar.gz or .zip file corresponding to a release (e.g. `Trac-1.0.tar.gz`) from the [trac:TracDownload] page, or you can get the source directly from the repository. See [trac:TracRepositories#OfficialSubversionrepository TracRepositories] for details.
    160 
    161 {{{#!sh
    162 $ python ./setup.py install
    163 }}}
    164 
    165 ''You will need root permissions or equivalent for this step.''
    166 
    167 This will byte-compile the Python source code and install it as an .egg file or folder in the `site-packages` directory
    168 of your Python installation. The .egg will also contain all other resources needed by standard Trac, such as `htdocs` and `templates`.
    169 
    170 If you install from source and want to make Trac available in other languages, make sure Babel is installed. Only then, perform the `install` (or simply redo the `install` once again afterwards if you realize Babel was not yet installed):
    171 {{{#!sh
    172 $ python ./setup.py install
    173 }}}
    174 Alternatively, you can run `bdist_egg` and copy the .egg from `dist/` to the place of your choice, or you can create a Windows installer (`bdist_wininst`).
     109
     110`pip` is the modern Python package manager and is included in Python distributions. `pip` will automatically resolve the //required// dependencies (Jinja2 and setuptools) and download the latest packages from pypi.org.
     111
     112You can also install directly from a source package. You can obtain the source in a tar or zip from the [trac:TracDownload] page. After extracting the archive, change to the directory containing `setup.py` and run:
     113
     114{{{#!sh
     115$ pip install .
     116}}}
     117
     118`pip` supports numerous other install mechanisms. It can be passed the URL of an archive or other download location. Here are some examples:
     119
     120* Install the latest development version from a tar archive:
     121{{{#!sh
     122$ pip install https://download.edgewall.org/trac/Trac-latest-dev.tar.gz
     123}}}
     124* Install the unreleased 1.4-stable from subversion:
     125{{{#!sh
     126$ pip install svn+https://svn.edgewall.org/repos/trac/branches/1.4-stable
     127}}}
     128* Install the latest development preview (//not recommended for production installs//):
     129{{{#!sh
     130$ pip install --find-links=https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracDownload Trac
     131}}}
     132
     133The optional dependencies can be installed from PyPI using `pip`:
     134{{{#!sh
     135$ pip install babel docutils pygments textile
     136}}}
     137
     138The optional dependencies can alternatively be
     139specified using the `extras` keys in the setup file:
     140{{{#!sh
     141$ pip install Trac[babel,rest,pygments,textile]
     142}}}
     143
     144`rest` is the extra that installs the `docutils`
     145dependency.
     146
     147Include `mysql` or `psycopg2-binary` in the
     148list if using the MySQL or PostgreSQL database.
     149
     150Additionally, you can install several Trac plugins from PyPI (listed [https://pypi.org/search/?c=Framework+%3A%3A+Trac here]) using pip. See TracPlugins for more information.
    175151
    176152=== Using installer
    … …  
    180156=== Using package manager
    181157
    182 Trac may be available in your platform's package repository. Note however, that the version provided by your package manager may not be the latest release.
    183 
    184 === Advanced `easy_install` Options
    185 
    186 To install Trac to a custom location, or find out about other advanced installation options, run:
    187 {{{#!sh
    188 easy_install --help
    189 }}}
    190 
    191 Also see [http://docs.python.org/2/install/index.html Installing Python Modules] for detailed information.
    192 
    193 Specifically, you might be interested in:
    194 {{{#!sh
    195 easy_install --prefix=/path/to/installdir
    196 }}}
    197 or, if installing Trac on a Mac OS X system:
    198 {{{#!sh
    199 easy_install --prefix=/usr/local --install-dir=/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages
    200 }}}
    201 
    202 {{{#!div style="border: 1pt dotted; margin: 1em"
    203 **Mac OS X Note:** On Mac OS X 10.6,  running `easy_install trac` will install into `/usr/local` and `/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages` by default.
    204 
    205 The `tracd` and `trac-admin` commands will be placed in `/usr/local/bin` and will install the Trac libraries and dependencies into `/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages`, which is Apple's preferred location for third-party Python application installations.
    206 }}}
     158Trac may be available in your platform's package repository. However, your package manager may not provide the latest release of Trac.

    215167}}}
    216168
    217 [TracAdmin trac-admin] will prompt you for the information it needs to create the environment: the name of the project and the [TracEnvironment#DatabaseConnectionStrings database connection string]. If you're not sure what to specify for any of these options, just press `<Enter>` to use the default value. 
     169[TracAdmin trac-admin] will prompt you for the information it needs to create the environment: the name of the project and the [TracEnvironment#DatabaseConnectionStrings database connection string]. If you're not sure what to specify for any of these options, just press `<Enter>` to use the default value.
    218170
    219171Using the default database connection string will always work as long as you have SQLite installed. For the other [trac:DatabaseBackend database backends] you should plan ahead and already have a database ready to use at this point.
    220172
    221173Also note that the values you specify here can be changed later using TracAdmin or directly editing the [TracIni conf/trac.ini] configuration file.
    222 
    223 {{{#!div style="border: 1pt dotted; margin: 1em"
    224 **Filesystem Warning:** When selecting the location of your environment, make sure that the filesystem on which the environment directory resides supports sub-second timestamps (i.e. **not** `ext2` or `ext3` on Linux, or HFS+ on OSX), as the modification time of the `conf/trac.ini` file will be monitored to decide whether an environment restart is needed or not. A too coarse-grained timestamp resolution may result in inconsistencies in Trac < 1.0.2. The best advice is to opt for a platform with sub-second timestamp resolution, regardless of the Trac version.
    225 }}}
    226174
    227175Finally, make sure the user account under which the web front-end runs will have '''write permissions''' to the environment directory and all the files inside. This will be the case if you run `trac-admin ... initenv` as this user. If not, you should set the correct user afterwards. For example on Linux, with the web server running as user `apache` and group `apache`, enter:

    238186== Deploying Trac
    239187
    240 {{{#!div style="border: 1pt dotted; margin: 1em"
    241 **Setuptools Warning:** If the version of your setuptools is in the range 5.4 through 5.6, the environment variable `PKG_RESOURCES_CACHE_ZIP_MANIFESTS` must be set in order to avoid significant performance degradation.
    242 
    243 If running `tracd`, the environment variable can be set system-wide or for just the user that runs the `tracd` process. There are several ways to accomplish this in addition to what is discussed here, and depending on the distribution of your OS.
    244 
    245 To be effective system-wide a shell script with the `export` statement may be added to `/etc/profile.d`. To be effective for a user session the `export` statement may be added to `~/.profile`.
    246 {{{#!sh
    247 export PKG_RESOURCES_CACHE_ZIP_MANIFESTS=1
    248 }}}
    249 
    250 Alternatively, the variable can be set in the shell before executing `tracd`:
    251 {{{#!sh
    252 $ PKG_RESOURCES_CACHE_ZIP_MANIFESTS=1 tracd --port 8000 /path/to/myproject
    253 }}}
    254 
    255 If running the Apache web server, !Ubuntu/Debian users should add the `export` statement to `/etc/apache2/envvars`. !RedHat/CentOS/Fedora should can add the `export` statement to `/etc/sysconfig/httpd`.

    264194
    265 Then, fire up a browser and visit `http://localhost:8000/`. You should get a simple listing of all environments that `tracd` knows about. Follow the link to the environment you just created, and you should see Trac in action. If you only plan on managing a single project with Trac you can have the standalone server skip the environment list by starting it like this:

    266196{{{#!sh
    267197$ tracd -s --port 8000 /path/to/myproject

     202Trac provides various options for connecting to a "real" web server:
    273203 - [TracFastCgi FastCGI]
    274  - [wiki:TracModWSGI Apache with mod_wsgi] 
     204 - [wiki:TracModWSGI Apache with mod_wsgi]
    275205 - [TracModPython Apache with mod_python]
    276  - //[TracCgi CGI] (should not be used, as the performance is far from optimal)//
    277 
    278 Trac also supports [trac:TracOnWindowsIisAjp AJP] which may be your choice if you want to connect to IIS. Other deployment scenarios are possible: [trac:TracNginxRecipe nginx], [http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/wiki/Example#Traconapacheinasub-uri uwsgi], [trac:TracOnWindowsIisIsapi Isapi-wsgi] etc.

    280210==== Generating the Trac cgi-bin directory #cgi-bin
    281211
    282 In order for Trac to function properly with FastCGI you need to have a `trac.fcgi` file and for mod_wsgi a `trac.wsgi` file. These are Python scripts which load the appropriate Python code. They can be generated using the `deploy` option of [TracAdmin trac-admin].
    283 
    284 There is, however, a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem. The [TracAdmin trac-admin] command requires an existing environment to function, but complains if the deploy directory already exists. This is a problem, because environments are often stored in a subdirectory of the deploy. The solution is to do something like this:
    285 {{{#!sh
    286 mkdir -p /usr/share/trac/projects/my-project
    287 trac-admin /usr/share/trac/projects/my-project initenv
    288 trac-admin /usr/share/trac/projects/my-project deploy /tmp/deploy
    289 mv /tmp/deploy/* /usr/share/trac
    290 }}}
    291 Don't forget to check that the web server has the execution right on scripts in the `/usr/share/trac/cgi-bin` directory.
     212Application scripts for CGI, FastCGI and mod-wsgi can be generated using the [TracAdmin trac-admin] `deploy` command:
     213[[TracAdminHelp(deploy)]]
     214
     215Grant the web server execution right on scripts in the `cgi-bin` directory.
     216
     217For example, the following yields a typical directory structure:
     218{{{#!sh
     219$ mkdir -p /var/trac
     220$ trac-admin /var/trac/<project> initenv
     221$ trac-admin /var/trac/<project> deploy /var/www
     222$ ls /var/www
     223cgi-bin htdocs
     224$ chmod ugo+x /var/www/cgi-bin/*
     225}}}
    292226
    293227==== Mapping Static Resources
    … …  
    295229Without additional configuration, Trac will handle requests for static resources such as stylesheets and images. For anything other than a TracStandalone deployment, this is not optimal as the web server can be set up to directly serve the static resources. For CGI setup, this is '''highly undesirable''' as it causes abysmal performance.
    296230
    297 Web servers such as [http://httpd.apache.org/ Apache] allow you to create //Aliases// to resources, giving them a virtual URL that doesn't necessarily reflect their location on the file system. We can map requests for static resources directly to directories on the file system, to avoid Trac processing the requests.

We can map requests for static resources directly to directories on the file system, to avoid Trac processing the requests.
    298232
    299233There are two primary URL paths for static resources: `/chrome/common` and `/chrome/site`. Plugins can add their own resources, usually accessible at the `/chrome/<plugin>` path.
    300234
    301 A single `/chrome` alias can used if the static resources are extracted for all plugins. This means that the `deploy` command must be executed after installing or updating a plugin that provides static resources, or after modifying resources in the `$env/htdocs` directory. This is probably appropriate for most installations but may not be what you want if, for example, you wish to upload plugins through the //Plugins// administration page.
    302 
    303 The resources are extracted using the [TracAdmin trac-admin]` <environment> deploy` command:
    304 [[TracAdminHelp(deploy)]]
    305 
    306 The target `<directory>` will contain an `htdocs` directory with:
     235A single `/chrome` alias can used if the static resources are extracted for all plugins. This means that the `deploy` command (discussed in the previous section) must be executed after installing or updating a plugin that provides static resources, or after modifying resources in the `$env/htdocs` directory. This is probably appropriate for most installations but may not be what you want if, for example, you wish to upload plugins through the //Plugins// administration page.
     236
     237The `deploy` command creates an `htdocs` directory with:
    307238 - `common/` - the static resources of Trac
    308239 - `site/` - a copy of the environment's `htdocs/` directory
    … …  
    322253Assuming the deployment has been done this way:
    323254{{{#!sh
    324 $ trac-admin /var/trac/env deploy /path/to/shared/trac
     255$ trac-admin /var/trac/<project> deploy /var/www/trac
    325256}}}
    326257
    327258Add the following snippet to Apache configuration, changing paths to match your deployment. The snippet must be placed ''before'' the `ScriptAlias` or `WSGIScriptAlias` directive, because those directives map all requests to the Trac application:
    328259{{{#!apache
    329 Alias /trac/chrome /path/to/trac/htdocs
    330 
    331 <Directory "/path/to/www/trac/htdocs">
     260Alias /trac/chrome /var/www/trac/htdocs
     261
     262<Directory "/var/www/trac/htdocs">
    332263  # For Apache 2.2
    333264  <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
    … …  
    366297}}}
    367298
    368 Another alternative to aliasing `/trac/chrome/common` is having Trac generate direct links for those static resources (and only those), using the [[TracIni#trac-section| [trac] htdocs_location]] configuration setting:

    385316== Configuring Authentication
    386317
    387 Trac uses HTTP authentication. You'll need to configure your webserver to request authentication when the `.../login` URL is hit (the virtual path of the "login" button). Trac will automatically pick the `REMOTE_USER` variable up after you provide your credentials. Therefore, all user management goes through your web server configuration. Please consult the documentation of your web server for more info.
    388 
    389 The process of adding, removing, and configuring user accounts for authentication depends on the specific way you run Trac.
