Setup

Create a folder to hold your Trac projects. I created:

C:\repository\trac\

/home/web/trac/

Setup the Trac environment for your project:

cd C:\repository\trac\
trac-admin my-test-trac initenv

cd /home/web/trac/
trac-admin my-test-trac initenv

When asked for the database connection string, select from the following formats (depending on your database):

sqlite:db/trac.db
postgres://trac:admin@/my_test_trac

…you can leave this at the default value. A SQLite database will be created in the project folder e.g. C:\\repository\\trac\\my-test-trac\\db\\trac.db.

Note: Be sure to include the full path, including the drive letter.

Setup Complete:

The final screen should look a bit like this:

Project environment for 'My Test Trac' created.
You may now configure the environment by editing the file:
C:\repository\trac\my-test-trac\conf\trac.ini

To test the installation:

tracd --port 8000 c:\repository\trac\my-test-trac
