Install the Agile plugin

To manually install the Redmine Agile plugin (free registration is required). It is strongly recommended to create a backup first. Once your backup is done, follow these steps:

• Save the .zip file in the installdir/apps/redmine/htdocs/plugins directory. Make sure that you are in that directory before unzip the plugin:

  $ cd installdir/apps/redmine/htdocs/plugins
  

• Unzip the Agile plugin file (VERSION-EDITION is a placeholder. Your file should contains the version you have downloaded and the selected edition):

  $ unzip redmine_agile_VERSION-EDITION.zip
  

• Remove the “.zip” file:

  $ rm redmine_agile_VERSION_EDITION.zip
  

• Change to the htdocs directory and install required gems:

  $ cd installdir/apps/redmine/htdocs/
  $ bundle install --without development test postgresql sqlite --no-deployment
  $ bundle install --without development test postgresql sqlite --deployment
  

• Install and migrate the Redmine Agile database:

  $ bundle exec rake redmine:plugins RAILS_ENV=production
  $ bundle exec rake redmine:plugins NAME=redmine_agile RAILS_ENV=production
  

  NOTE: It could display a warning message about the log production file. In that case, run the following commands:

  $ sudo chown :bitnami log/production.log
  $ sudo chmod g+w log/production.log
  

• Restart services for the changes to take effect:

  $ sudo installdir/ctlscript.sh restart
  

• Sign in to your Redmine installation and navigate to the “Administration -> Agile” section to configure the new plugin.

• Navigate to the “Projects -> PROJECT -> Settings -> Modules” menu to enable the Agile plugin in your project.
