Running ODENOS in VirtualBox on 32bit Debian Linux

You can run ODENOS on a low-spec PC with a 32bit CPU and low memory capacity.

Building Redis server

Imagine you want to run ODENOS on Windows PC. The easiest way is to run ODENOS on Ubuntu or Debian Linux in VirtualBox.

Although ODENOS can run on 32bit Ubuntu/Debian, the biggest problem is that you cannot install Redis server ver 2.8 by using apt-get. apt-get provides an older version or Redis server at the moment.

So you need to compile Redis server manually as follows:

Download Redis 2.8 from http://redis.io/download
$ gunzip redis-2.8.19.tar.gz
$ tar xvf redis-2.8.19.tar
$ cd redis-2.8.19
$ make 32bit
$ make install
$ cd utils
$ ./install_server.sh

Building Python 3.4

Some of ODENOS utility tools require Python 3.4. Again, apt-get does not have Python3 in its official archive.

Compile Python 3.4 as follows:

Download Python 3.4.3 from https://www.python.org/downloads/
$ gunzip Python-3.4.3.tgz
$ tar xvf Python-3.4.3
$ cd Python-3.4.3
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
