Koha 3.8.6 Live CD Lite released

Koha Live CD Lite is based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Koha 3.8.6.
File size is 690 MB.
Live CD is customized for ready to use.
Highlights are:

  • Easy installation steps,
  • Koha installation based on Ubuntu packages, it means easy to upgrade Koha in future,
  • Koha customised for ready to use,
  • Zebra server enabled,
  • Customised MARC fields in cataloguing,
  • Scheduled database backup,
  • Build on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with OpenBox Desktop,
  • Detailed Read Me file,
  • Sample reports,

Visit for download https://sourceforge.net/projects/kohalivecd-lite/files/

Upgrade to new version of Koha is now very easy with this Live CD. No need to execute lot of commands and editing various files to upgrade to a new version. Installation made from Koha package repository.

When new version of Koha available, you can upgrade Koha using only two commands in Terminal. It automatically download new release from Internet and will make necessary changes.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

I stripped off many applications from Ubuntu 12.04 to reduce the size of the ISO file. So it is convenient to download from Internet. You can install other useful applications after the installation of Live CD. See some examples.

Gnumeric Spreadsheet

sudo apt-get install gnumeric

Gnome-Shell Desktop: for conventional Windows like desktop

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell

Log out and select gnome-shell desktop environment.

ย 

Libre Office

sudo apt-get install libreoffice

Happy to inform you that I am elected as Koha Live CD/DVD Release Manager.

http://koha-community.org/roles-3-12-koha-release/

My duty is to organise the efforts to build an official Koha Live CD/DVD. Koha community decidedย  to make available official Live CD/DVD with the release of the version 3.12. Our vision is to build a user friendly Koha Live CD/DVD for Koha newbies. And it is useful for learning process and implementation.

Consider the release of this CD as a pilot build of Koha official Live CD/DVD.

I invite you to use and give your valuable feed back to improve this CD.

How to move your existing Koha to new LIVE CD installation?


Take backup of your existing Koha database.
Apply the following command in a terminal,

sudo su
mysqldump --single-transaction -u root -p koha > koha.sql

Copy your backup in a pendrive.

Install Koha Live CD.


Copy your database backup from your pen drive to home folder.
Then restore the old backup to new installation.
