Redmine plugins installation on Linux
Our plugins are easy to install and do not change Redmine database data, but we recommend a full backup before installation. What is commonly done is just copy the unarchived plugin to your redmine/plugins/ folder. Some plugins, however, may require specific Ruby gems or/and database tables.
Below you will find common steps for any plugin installation (all commands should be executed from the Redmine app root folder ex. /var/www/redmine; that folder contains config.ru file)
Go to Redmine's root folder
cd /var/www/redmine
Copy and unarchive plugin
cp [plugin_name]-x_x_x-pro.zip plugins/ cd plugins unzip [plugin_name]-x_x_x-pro.zip
Install required gems
cd /var/www/redmine bundle install --without development test --no-deployment
Migrate plugin's tables
bundle exec rake redmine:plugins NAME=[plugin_name] RAILS_ENV=production
Restart Redmine app
For the Phusion Passenger just touch the restart.txt file
touch tmp/restart.txt
