Installing CKAN on Ubuntu

Install dependencies

Required dependencies for CKAN are mono and the development libraries of libcurl:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install mono-complete ca-certificates-mono libcurl4-openssl-dev

Import certificates

See SSL certificate errors if you encounter errors related to certificates.

Download

Download the latest release of CKAN.

Run CKAN

mono ckan.exe

If that doesn't work, try:

/usr/local/bin/mono ckan.exe

On some systems CKAN might present an error/warning about not being able to set x locale modifiers. This can be fixed by running:

LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 /usr/local/bin/mono ckan.exe
