# SETUP
* These scripts were written and tested on Ubuntu 12.10 where bash is located at /bin/bash. You may need to create a symlink or edit these scripts accordingly.
* Please backup your database first. Something like this should do it.
`mysqldump --opt -u root -p newznab > ~/newznab_backup.sql`
* The first step is to decide whether or not you will convert your database to the InnoDB engine. The InnoDB has a lot of benefits, too many to list here, but more ram is required. How much exactly, depends on too many things to list here.
* If you decide to convert your database, I recommend using [kevin123's github](https://github.com/kevinlekiller/Newznab-Barracuda.git). I recommend only converting the binaries a parts table, using compressed tables. But, there are many choices. I suggest you read his README and follow his recommendations. Or, simply:
`cd /var/www/newznab/misc/testing`
`git clone https://github.com/kevinlekiller/Newznab-InnoDB-Dropin.git kev-innodb`
`cd innodb/lib/kev-innodb`
`php convertToInnoDB.php`
* Now, you will need to clone [andrewit's github](https://github.com/itandrew/Newznab-InnoDB-Dropin.git) and get his scripts.
`cd /var/www/newznab/misc/testing/`
`git clone https://github.com/kevinlekiller/Newznab-InnoDB-Dropin.git innodb`
* Clone my github
`cd /var/www/newznab/misc/update_scripts/nix_scripts/`
`git clone https://github.com/jonnyboy/newznab-tmux.git tmux`
`cd tmux`
`nano edit_these.sh`
* Edit some permissions, run as root.
`./set_perms.sh`
* Run my script, as user.
`./start.sh`
* If you connect using **putty**, then under Window/Translation set Remote character set to UTF-8.
* If something looks stalled, it probably isn't. If all 13 panes are still there, it is most likely, as it should be.
* **misc/testing/update_cleanup.php** needs to be edited to actually do something, and update_parsing is good for fixing a few releases everytime it runs, not a silver bullet though
* If you are running this on an OVH or kimsufi server, you may need to run sudo ./start.sh because they built grsecurity into the kernel.
* Now all panes should be running smoothly. If any of the scriptns in the top 3 panes crash, the panes should remain open and you should be able to view the error messages. I hope this helps.
* Join in the converstion at irc://moonlight.se.eu.synirc.net/newznab-tmux.
* The development branch of this git is still under heavy development. To run the development branch:
`git checkout dev`
* Thanks go to all who offered their assistance and improvement to these scripts.
* If, you find these scripts useful and would like to offer a donation, they are greatly appreciated. Thank you
