BitNami Tracks Stack

Manuel Morales from BitNami emailed to tell me about the Tracks Stack they have developed. These are easy to install, multi-platform packages for installing various Open Source applications. You download a package which installs as a stand-alone stack of all of the components required to run the application. What this means is that if you want to run Tracks on Windows XP, Linux or Mac OS X, but you don’t really know where to start with installing Ruby, Rails and MySQL, you can just download the stack. It installs everything you need and even configures the application and the database for you. The Tracks Stack installs the brand spanking new Tracks version 1.5rc1.

So if you’re interested by Tracks but have been daunted by the installation procedure, give a Tracks Stack a whirl!

I like tracks, is so cool! The installer made so easy to give a try.
Lov“u!!

Thank you!

I’m a school teacher, not a programmer and I have been pounding my head trying to understand what it takes to install Tracks.

With this new installer, Tracks is so good, it is ready to go viral. 

Wahoo!

With the track stack it is so easy.

After installing tracks on one computer i did another tracks install on another computer (both macs). I now want to export and import from one another easily. So i exported into a yaml file but now i can’t really find out how to import. Should i just export the database and then import it into the other version? What’s the preferred method to do this?

BTW, both are bitnami installs.

I’m really loving the interface so far although i don’t really get the tickler yet (but haven’t read about it either - just take as the only thing i didn’t grasp intuitively)

thanx
