Installing CMS plugin on Linux

Our plugins are easy to install and do not change Redmine database data. However, we recommend a full backup before the installation. In common cases, it is just copying an 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 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 redmineup_cms-[version]-light.zip plugins/
cd plugins
unzip redmineup_cms-[version]-light.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=redmineup_cms RAILS_ENV=production

Restart Redmine app

For Phusion Passenger just touch restart.txt file

touch tmp/restart.txt

Video demonstration

Important: Currently, the plugin is renamed from "redmine_cms" to "redmineup_cms". In the below video old name is used. Please refer to the guide above in order to see the steps with the new name.
