I tried this method (Zeo vs instance) and with the additional steps recommended without success. I am still able to get Plone working but everything fails once Senaite (lims, health) eggs are added.
Might there be a step that has been missed in the instructions?
Also, does it matter if I am working on 64 or 32 bit 18.04?
emmk,
An update to the installation instructions since release of senaite.lims 1.3
No longer need to pin cairocffi in your buildout.cfg [versions]
Now need to pin Products.AdvancedQuery =< 4 in [versions]
Can you install as standalone
$sudo ./install.sh --password=YourPassword standalone
then edit buildout.cfg to include senaite.lims in eggs and Products.AdvancedQuery =< 4 in versions
then build it out
$sudo -u plone_buildout bin/buildout
and start in foreground
$sudo bin/instance fg
It should start and listen on port 8080. If not then please post the output. My best guesses are that it can’t bind to port 8080 because a process is already running on the port or lack of permission for plone_daemon to certain files in the buildout_cache. If you can post the output we should be able to help.
An alternate install that avoids complications caused by users/groups follows. This install will buildout and start as local user rather than root, plone_buildout, and plone_daemon. Tested on Ubuntu 18.04

$cd Plone
$source bin/activate
Git Clone Senaite LIMS
$git clone https://github.com/senaite/senaite.lims.git
$cd senaite.lims
$python bootstrap.py
The buildout.cfg here has lots of parts you don’t need for a test install. For developing you will need them. I recommend making only one change. Pin [versions] Products.AdvancedQuery =< 4
Alternatively you can copy the minimal buildout.cfg at the bottom of this message.
Build it out
$bin/buildout
Start the instance
$bin/instance fg
(password is in the buildout.cfg admin:admin)
A stripped down buildout.cfg that contains just the basic parts:
[buildout]
extends = http://dist.plone.org/release/4.3.18/versions.cfg
index = https://pypi.python.org/simple/
find-links =
http://dist.plone.org/release/4.3.18
http://dist.plone.org/thirdparty
parts =

[instance]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
user = admin:admin
eggs =
Plone
Pillow
senaite.core
senaite.lims
[versions]
Products.AdvancedQuery =< 4
Thanks, this worked for me with some minor modifications and using some of the instructions from your post that followed this. I installed this with a local user (eg. usrlcl).
I set up Ubuntu 18.04 x64 as standard with a non-root admin user (usrlcl).

Has something else changed now? I’ve attempted to install Senaite LIMS multiple times on CentOS and Debian, and I keep getting an errors on the bin/buildout step. As far as I know, I’ve installed all of the dependancies (however, some of them have been deprecated, and I’ve had to use the newly named ones). When I perform the buildout, I get the following:

We already have: UNKNOWN 0.0.0
Plone appears to be working fine, but I do not see any Senaite available in the add-ins section. I think the warnings in this also show that there’s a problem with no build/lib existing. I don’t know how I’d fix that.
Thanks,
Mark
Please see comment here regarding the version conflict:
Could you update the installation instructions?
Hi @Mark
Add the following to the versions section:
cairocffi = 0.9.0
tinycss2 = 0.6.1
soupsieve = 1.9
backports.functools-lru-cache = 1.5
The cairocffi and tinycss2 versions should have been taken care of already in the code. The last two you definately need.
What is this for? im new on this
Cant find this ???!!!
Hola @serviciosrali19,
Este es un foro público donde usuarios de SENAITE, profesionales del sector y desarrolladores del LIMS exponen dudas de forma coherente y ordenada con el fin de obtener una solución gracias a la colaboración voluntaria de otros profesionales.
El objetivo final del foro es crear contenido de calidad de forma respetuosa, no es una plataforma de servicio técnico. Si buscas soporte profesional, siempre puedes contactar con un proveedor.
Estas tres últimas aportaciones están lejos de acometer el objetivo del foro, puedes echar un ojo a las directrices de la comunidad: https://community.senaite.org/t/faq-guidelines/5
Saludos,
Updated 8/28/21 for Senaite 2.0
This is the fastest, simplest way to install Senaite LIMS on Ubuntu 18.04 server for development and testing.
We will install Plone 5 and Senaite 2 in the home folder under the local user name. Start here for testing and development.
Get all dependencies and packages needed
$sudo apt-get install virtualenv
$sudo apt-get install python2.7
$sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc python-dev git-core libffi-dev
$sudo apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev autoconf libtool pkg-config
$sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libexpat1-dev libxslt1.1
$sudo apt-get install gnuplot libcairo2 libpango1.0-0 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0
$sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev python-pil libjpeg-turbo8-dev
$sudo apt-get install git
You may need more packages depending on what is previously installed on your server.
Make a folder for LIMS in your home directory:
$mkdir ~/LIMS
Create a python 2.7 virtual environment then activate it
$virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python2.7 --no-site-packages ~/LIMS
$cd ~/LIMS
$source bin/activate
Clone Senaite LIMS verson 2.0 from GitHub:
$git clone https://github.com/senaite/senaite.lims.git
$cd senaite.lims
Make sure you have PIP and wheel installed. zc.buildout and setuptools
$pip install wheel
$pip install zc.buildout==2.13.4
$pip install setuptools==44.1.1
Download bootstrap.py to your senaite.lims directory, then bootstrap for zc.buildout:
$wget https://github.com/senaite/senaite.lims/blob/1.x/bootstrap.py
$python bootstrap.py
Open buildout.cfg with your favorite text editor and change the pinned version of zc.buildout to the version you have in this virtual environment (zc.buildout = 2.13.4). That’s at the bottom in [versions] section. You may also choose to change the default admin password now. Find the section
plone-user = admin:admin
And change to
admin:YourAdministratorPassword
Save any changes to buildout.cfg.
OK, Here is the big moment. Time for buildout.
From your senaite.lims directory
$bin/buildout
This will take a while. There will be some warnings and plenty of messages for the buildout log. Hopefully no errors. If you get errors then post them here and the community will help diagnose problem.
If this completes without error then your ready to start working on Senaite LIMS.
Start the instance in foreground
$bin/instance fg
Wait for Zope/Plone/Senaite to start up and listen on port 8080 (or other port you set in buildout.cfg). Initialization will take a couple of minutes. Watch for error messages. Watch for listening and ready to take requests.
If all goes well, open a web browser on same machine and go to URL localhost:8080
Follow Senaite LIMS instructions for configuration.
For components like senaite.health and senaite.instruments, add them to your buildout.cfg file in the eggs section. There’s an example senaite.health buildout file here:
Please help! The following error occurred during setup.
$ python bootstrap.py
File “bootstrap.py”, line 7
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Which boostrap.py are you using?
https://github.com/senaite/senaite.lims/blob/1.x/bootstrap.py
Line 7 of this bootstrap.py is a comment line.
Also, confirm you have zc.buildout installed before running bootstrap.py
I’m sure it works as you say, but it still prompts the same error. Also found that I ignore this step to operate senaite LIMS seems to be able to run
I’m sure it works as you say but it still prompts the same error.Can you provide your bootstrap.py?
It appears as if the wget command has downloaded an HTML file in stead of the actual bootstrap.py file. If I enter the url (https://github.com/senaite/senaite.lims/blob/1.x/bootstrap.py) into a browser I can get to the file, but I think we need to specify the raw url. Will try that now.
