    4 Trac is written in the Python programming language and needs a database, [https://sqlite.org/ SQLite], [https://www.postgresql.org/ PostgreSQL], or [https://mysql.com/ MySQL]. For HTML rendering, Trac uses the [http://jinja.pocoo.org Jinja2] templating system, though Genshi templates will still be supported until at least Trac 1.5.1.

    66Trac can also be localized, and there is probably a translation available in your language. If you want to use the Trac interface in other languages, then make sure you have installed the optional package [#OtherPythonPackages Babel]. Pay attention to the extra steps for localization support in the [#InstallingTrac Installing Trac] section below. Lacking Babel, you will only get the default English version.

    88If you're interested in contributing new translations for other languages or enhancing the existing translations, please have a look at [trac:wiki:TracL10N TracL10N].

While you may find instructions for installing Trac on specific systems at [trac:TracInstallPlatforms TracInstallPlatforms], please '''first read through these general instructions''' to get a good understanding of the tasks involved.

    7672==== Web Server

    7774A web server is optional because Trac is shipped with a server included, see the [#RunningtheStandaloneServer Running the Standalone Server] section below.
    7875
    7976Alternatively you can configure Trac to run in any of the following environments:
    80  * [https://httpd.apache.org/ Apache] with

    119108=== Using `pip`
    120 `pip` is the modern Python package manager and is included in Python 2.7.9 and later. Use [https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py get-pip.py] to install `pip` for an earlier version of Python.
    121 
    122 {{{#!sh
    123 $ pip install Trac
    124 }}}
    125 
    126 `pip` will automatically resolve the //required// dependencies (Jinja2 and setuptools) and download the latest packages from pypi.org.

     110`pip` is the modern Python package manager and is included in Python distributions. `pip` will automatically resolve the //required// dependencies (Jinja2 and setuptools) and download the latest packages from pypi.org.
    127111
    128112You can also install directly from a source package. You can obtain the source in a tar or zip from the [trac:TracDownload] page. After extracting the archive, change to the directory containing `setup.py` and run:
    … …  
    134118`pip` supports numerous other install mechanisms. It can be passed the URL of an archive or other download location. Here are some examples:
    135119
    136 * Install the latest stable version from a zip archive:
    137 {{{#!sh
    138 $ pip install https://download.edgewall.org/trac/Trac-latest.zip
    139 }}}
    140120* Install the latest development version from a tar archive:
    141121{{{#!sh
    142122$ pip install https://download.edgewall.org/trac/Trac-latest-dev.tar.gz
    143123}}}
    144 * Install the unreleased 1.2-stable from subversion:
    145 {{{#!sh
    146 $ pip install svn+https://svn.edgewall.org/repos/trac/branches/1.2-stable
     124* Install the unreleased 1.4-stable from subversion:
     125{{{#!sh
     126$ pip install svn+https://svn.edgewall.org/repos/trac/branches/1.4-stable
    147127}}}
    148128* Install the latest development preview (//not recommended for production installs//):
    … …  
    153133The optional dependencies can be installed from PyPI using `pip`:
    154134{{{#!sh
    155 $ pip install babel docutils pygments pytz textile
    156 }}}
     135$ pip install babel docutils pygments textile
     136}}}
     137
     138The optional dependencies can alternatively be
     139specified using the `extras` keys in the setup file:
     140{{{#!sh
     141$ pip install Trac[babel,rest,pygments,textile]
     142}}}
     143
     144`rest` is the extra that installs the `docutils`
     145dependency.
     146
     147Include `mysql` or `psycopg2-binary` in the
     148list if using the MySQL or PostgreSQL database.
    157149
    158150Additionally, you can install several Trac plugins from PyPI (listed [https://pypi.org/search/?c=Framework+%3A%3A+Trac here]) using pip. See TracPlugins for more information.

    177 [TracAdmin trac-admin] will prompt you for the information it needs to create the environment: the name of the project and the [TracEnvironment#DatabaseConnectionStrings database connection string]. If you're not sure what to specify for any of these options, just press `<Enter>` to use the default value.

If you're not sure what to specify for any of these options, just press `<Enter>` to use the default value.
    178170
    179171Using the default database connection string will always work as long as you have SQLite installed. For the other [trac:DatabaseBackend database backends] you should plan ahead and already have a database ready to use at this point.

    197 **Setuptools Warning:** If the version of your setuptools is in the range 5.4 through 5.6, the environment variable `PKG_RESOURCES_CACHE_ZIP_MANIFESTS` must be set in order to avoid significant performance degradation.
    198 
    199 If running `tracd`, the environment variable can be set system-wide or for just the user that runs the `tracd` process. There are several ways to accomplish this in addition to what is discussed here, and depending on the distribution of your OS.
    200 
    201 To be effective system-wide a shell script with the `export` statement may be added to `/etc/profile.d`. To be effective for a user session the `export` statement may be added to `~/.profile`.
    202 {{{#!sh
    203 export PKG_RESOURCES_CACHE_ZIP_MANIFESTS=1
    204 }}}
    205 
    206 Alternatively, the variable can be set in the shell before executing `tracd`:
    207 {{{#!sh
    208 $ PKG_RESOURCES_CACHE_ZIP_MANIFESTS=1 tracd --port 8000 /path/to/myproject
    209 }}}
    210 
    211 If running the Apache web server, !Ubuntu/Debian users should add the `export` statement to `/etc/apache2/envvars`. !RedHat/CentOS/Fedora should can add the `export` statement to `/etc/sysconfig/httpd`.

    283257
    284258Add the following snippet to Apache configuration, changing paths to match your deployment. The snippet must be placed ''before'' the `ScriptAlias` or `WSGIScriptAlias` directive, because those directives map all requests to the Trac application:

    342316== Configuring Authentication
    343317
    344 Trac uses HTTP authentication. You'll need to configure your webserver to request authentication when the `.../login` URL is hit (the virtual path of the "login" button). Trac will automatically pick the `REMOTE_USER` variable up after you provide your credentials. Therefore, all user management goes through your web server configuration. Please consult the documentation of your web server for more info.
    345 
    346 The process of adding, removing, and configuring user accounts for authentication depends on the specific way you run Trac.
