Clone SqueezeMdb repository

cd /var/www/html
git clone /~https://github.com/jtamames/SqueezeMdb

Set up MySQL datababase

cat /var/www/html/SqueezeMdb/sql/game.sql | mysql -u root -p squeezem
mysql -u root -p
CREATE USER 'your_user_name'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON squeezem.* TO 'your_user_name'@'localhost';

Configure SqueezeMdb

vi /var/www/html/SqueezeMdb/application/config/config.php
#Line 26: Set 'base_url' to <your.domain.name>/SqueezeMdb
#The default is 'localhost/SqueezeMdb'. This will work if accessing from your computer, but not externally.
#Change it to the full address of your computer to enable external access.
vi /var/www/html/SqueezeMdb/application/config/database.php
#Line 79: Set 'username' to 'your_user_name' from the previous step.
#Line 80: Set 'password', to 'your_password' from the previous step.

Grant permissions.

chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/SqueezeMdb
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/SqueezeMdb/application/temp/
chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/SqueezeMdb/application/cache/ chmod -R 770 /var/www/html/SqueezeMdb/application/temp/
chmod 770 /var/www/html/SqueezeMdb/application/cache/

Enabling server logging (if required for debugging purposes)

chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/SqueezeMdb/application/logs
chmod 770 /var/www/html/SqueezeMdb/application/logs # Logs will be stored in that folder.

Creating databases for your SqueezeMeta projects

1. Once installed the interface should be accesible at http://localhost/SqueezeMdb/index.php/Login
2. Login as the default admin user
   User: squeezem@squeezem.com
   Password: squeezem
3. Use the interface to create a non-admin user. Admin users can create new projects and new users. Non-admin users can access the project database and make queries.
4. In order to create a new project, first generate the required files by running the make-SqueezeMdb-files.py script from SqueezeMeta as following:
   python3 <installpath>/SqueezeMeta/utils/make-SqueezeMdb-files.py <PROJECT_DIR> <OUTPUT_DIR>,
   where PROJECT_DIR is the directory holding the SqueezeMeta run. This files can be added to the new project using the web interface.
5. This new project can be assigned to any non-admin user/s. Once created, the project can be accessed by logging in as the non-admin user.
6. Parsing all the files and creating the MySQL database could take several minutes (around 10 min for the results of the SqueezeMeta test files).
