Server Setup

Before installation of Tripal, a web server must be configured and ready, and Tripal requires the following dependencies:

  1. A UNIX-based server (e.g. Ubuntu Linux or CentOS are the most popularly used).
  2. Web server software. The Apache web server is most commonly used.
  3. PHP version 5.6 or higher (the most recent version is recommended).
  4. PostgreSQL 9.3 or higher (9.5 required for Chado 1.2 to 1.3 upgrade)
  5. Drush 7 or higher
  6. Drupal 7.

Warning

PHP 7.2 is not fully compatible with Drupal.

The following sections provide step-by-step instructions to help setup either an Ubuntu or CentOS system.
