Installation
------------

To install MyProfile, either clone the repository to your www dir (not recommended), or download the zip generated by GitHub.
Next, simply point your browser to the install file: http://example.com/install.php and provide the required information.

Don't forget to check the Wiki for info on how to install your own CA: https://github.com/MyProfile/myprofile/wiki

External Dependencies
------------

OpenSSL: MyProfile relies on OpenSSL to generate certificates. This means that you have to set up your own CA (Certification Authority). I have created a Wiki page on GitHub with more information on how to create the CA. To include the WebID URI inside the certificate, you need to have a special directive in the openssl.cnf file. These are the extra lines to be added:

SAN = ""
san = $ENV::SAN

MySQL: All personal messages and wall messages are stored in a MySQL database, which means you need to have access to a MySQL server.

php-curl: MyProfile uses php-curl for the semantic pingback protocol. Please not that you may also have to install the curl application itself (on debian systems: apt-get install curl).

Internal Dependencies
---------------------

These dependencies come bundled with MyProfile. You can update them on your own, but I will try to keep them up to date as much as I can.

ARC2 - https://github.com/semsol/arc2

EasyRdf - https://github.com/njh/easyrdf

Graphite - http://graphite.ecs.soton.ac.uk/

WebIDDelegatedAuth - https://github.com/WebIDauth/WebIDDelegatedAuth

Important note regarding WebIDDelegatedAuth: if you want to use a different IdP, you will have to edit the file `lib/Authentication_X509CertRepo.php' and add the IdP's certificate in (PEM form) to the array of IdPs.

Documentation
-------------

At this point, the only existing documentation is the commented code. Until proper documentation will be available, do not hesitate to contact me with questions.

Disclaimer
---------
I'm haven't tested MyProfile under Windows yet.
