plasma_install.sh
Here we show how to build and install Plasma on an Ubuntu Natty system.
The script plasma_install.sh is downloaded and run. There are a few
user interactions at the beginning of the script, but the lengthy rest
is done automatically.
The script is run as the user who will be the file owner of the installed files. There is no need to become root beforehand - however, have the root password at hand, because a section of the script is executed as root.
The current version of the script installs always the latest and greatest version of Plasma.

Of course, you can use any other download method.
Running
plasma_install.sh
We run here the script without arguments, which just selects defaults
for some behaviors. The possible options are displayed with -help:
~/tmp$ sh plasma_install.sh -help
usage: plasma_install.sh [options]...
List of options:
-root <path> Install into this path (default: /opt/plasma)
-os (debian|redhat|suse) Assume this OS (default: auto-detected)
-su Use "su" to become root
-sudo Use "sudo" to become root
-ssh Use "ssh root@localhost" to become root
-noroot Skip root stuff
-namenode Only install packages for namenode
-datanode Only install packages for datanode
-build Build
As you see, you can especially change the prefix where plasma will be installed, and the method how to become root.
The switches -namenode and -datanode are discussed below. The
default is -build.
Now, run it:
~/tmp$ sh plasma_install.sh
*******************************************************************
* Doing as root: installing packages, preparing /opt/plasma
*******************************************************************
Method to become root: sudo
(if this does not work for you, restart the script with the
right option: -su, -sudo, or -ssh)
[sudo] password for gerd:
It immediately enters the section where it needs the root password. This is done here to check and install OS packages that are required as prerequisites.
Here the package check is done for an Ubuntu system. It also works for Red Hat and SuSE systems (and some derived systems).

*** Welcome to GODI, the O'Caml source distribution
*** RocketBoost bootstrap
GODI has been created by Gerd Stolpmann (mailto: gerd@gerd-stolpmann.de),
and is derived from the NetBSD pkgsrc system.
A number of packaging tools are now compiled and/or installed. Messages
are written to bootstrap.log.

Bootstrap was successful!
Please remember to add
/opt/plasma/./bin
and
/opt/plasma/./sbin
to your PATH environment variable.
If necessary, please remember to add
/opt/plasma/./man
to your MANPATH environment variable.
An example godi.conf file has been created for you in the current
directory, and it has been installed in /opt/plasma/./etc.
Selected GODI section: 3.12
(to change this, edit /opt/plasma/./etc/godi.conf)
It is now recommended to start bootstrap_stage2 to download and
install a minimum set of packages. For more information, see the
file README.

*** GODI bootstrap stage 2 has been successfully completed.
A very minimum set of packages has been installed.
You can now start the tool godi_console to build further
packages. This tools has a curses-based user interface, and
is self-explanatory (type 'h' to get the help screen).
To get at least the libraries coming with the official
O'Caml distribution, just install godi-ocaml-all.
Thank you for using GODI.
Ok, these are the prerequisites. Now there is Plasma itself.

Running
plasma_install.sh with -namenode and -datanode
These two options change the effect of the script: Instead of building the Plasma software, only the required OS packages are installed that should exist on a PlasmaFS namenode or datanode, respectively. So you should run this script on all such nodes.
In case of the namenode, this especially means the PostgreSQL database system is installed. The script checks also some aspects of the configuration:
postgresql.conf should include a line for
max_prepared_transactions with a value of at least 5.
