nxweb Quick Start under Debian Wheezy

07.11.2014

Install dependencies

We need to use wheezy-backports Debian repository to get newer version of GNUTLS library.

The following commands need to be run as root.

echo 'deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-backports main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/wheezy-backports.list \
 && apt-get update && apt-get -t wheezy-backports install -y libgnutls28-dev \
 && apt-get install -y build-essential curl libmagickwand-dev python-dev

Make & install nxweb

The following code is for 3.3.0-dev version of nxweb. In order to install other version please make corresponding changes.

curl -SL 'https://bitbucket.org/yarosla/nxweb/downloads/nxweb-3.3.0-dev.tar.gz' | tar xzf - \
 && cd nxweb-3.3.0-dev \
 && ./configure --with-imagemagick --with-gnutls --with-python --disable-certificates \
 && make && sudo make install \
 && mv sample_config .. \
 && cd .. && rm -rf nxweb-3.3.0-dev

Run samples

From the same directory execute:

cd sample_config
nxweb

This will launch nxweb with sample config nxweb_config.json located in sample_config directory.

Using your browser visit the following locations:

  • http://localhost:8055/
  • http://localhost:8055/hello
  • http://localhost:8055/py

There are other handlers in sample config, which you can discover studying the config file.
