Geral

O projeto LimeSurvey oferece duas formas de instalação:

• No seu servidor web:
  Neste caso, siga as instruções nesta página, começando do passo 1.

• No seu computador local Windows.
  Você geralmente vai querer instalar o LimeSurvey no seu computador local se quiser criar questionários localmente (principalmente para teste ou para mais velocidade) e depois carregá-los na sua instalação viva do LimeSurvey em um servidor. Para isto preparamos um pacote especial do LimeSurvey que inclui o servidor web, o banco de dados a aplicação Lime Survey. instruções de instalação.

Assegure-se de que você pode usar o LimeSurvey no seu website

Certifique-se de que seu servidor atenda aos seguintes requisitos adicionais.

The minimum set of requirements will also be checked during the installation process!

The minimum set of requirements:

• Minimum 180 MB disk space.
• MySQL 5.5.3 or later OR Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or later OR Postgres 9 or later.
• Minimum PHP 5.5.9 or later; however, we recommend PHP 7.0.0+ with the following modules/libraries enabled:
  • mbstring (Multibyte String Functions) extension library.
  • PDO database driver for MySQL (pdo_mysql or pdo_mysqli) or Postgres (pdo_pgsql) or MSSQL (pdo_sqlsrv for Windows and pdo_dblib for Linux).
  • Also, we assume in general that all PHP default libraries are enabled (like hash, session etc.).

Note: If you are connecting from Linux to a MSSQL database on a Windows server using the dblib PDO driver, then the underlying FreeTDS needs to be set up correctly. Check out the Troubleshooting page for more information.

Optional PHP Extensions:

• GD-Library with FreeType support installed is needed for captchas, nice charts in statistics or to upload images via the HTML editor - see PHP GD-Library Extension documentation
• IMAP (pretty standard) is needed for the email bounce tracking system - see PHP IMAP Extension documentation
• LDAP installed is needed to import tokens using LDAP - see PHP LDAP Documentation
• Zip (pretty standard) is needed for template upload, import of .zip archived resources, and excel export - see PHP Zip Extension documentation
• Zlib (pretty standard) is needed for the ComfortUpdate - see PHP Zlib Extension documentation

In most cases, your web server provider or system administrator will be able to help you out with these optional components.

If you want to run Microsoft's IIS server, taking a look at '"Installation on XP with IIS might also help.

Browser compatibility

For the survey-taking side, we currently support IE9 and all newer comparable browsers like FF, Chrome, Opera etc. with activated JavaScript. For the administration part, we currently support IE11 and all newer comparable browsers like FF, Chrome, Opera etc. with activated JavaScript. We do not support any IE version running in Intranet-mode or Compatibility-mode!

Screen sizes

We support any reasonable screen size for survey taking (360px x 640px and up). The minimum supported screen resolution for the LimeSurvey administration page is 1280px x 1024px.

Hosting for LimeSurvey

LimeSurvey should work with most hosting companies that provide PHP and MySQL. If you want a ready-installed version of LimeSurvey, you could try LimeSurvey Professional, else check out our list of LimeSurvey-compatible hosting companies.

Download the LimeSurvey package

Download the latest stable LimeSurvey zip package (there are also gzip, bz2 and 7zip packages available for your convenience) and save it to your local disk.

Unpack the LimeSurvey package

Uncompress the zip file into a dedicated directory/folder using your preferred compression software. When you uncompress the file make sure that you uncompress the directory structure with the files (this is default behavior for most compression programs). The path name for the installation directory should not include '(' or ')' special characters, but it may include the space character.

Collect information about your server

You will need to know the following things to install LimeSurvey on your web server correctly:

• Your intended website URL where your scripts will reside (e.g. http://my.domain.com/limesurvey).
• The physical disk location on your server where your scripts will reside (e.g. /home/usr/htdocs/limesurvey).
• The IP/net location of your database server (i.e. localhost).
• If your database server uses a non-standard port, find out which port it is.
• Your user name and password for your database server.
• With most providers you can't let the script create the database, but have to do it yourself. If you are using such a provider, please create a database (for example limesurvey) yourself.

Upload the files to your web server

Using your FTP program (e.g. FileZilla), connect to your web server and create a directory to store your scripts. Then upload the files using the directory structure they are in. Make sure you upload the files in binary mode (check the settings of your FTP program). Please note that uploading in ASCII mode can lead to uncommon errors (e.g. 'class not found' error during installation), also images may not be uploaded correctly.

Set directory permissions

For the script to work properly it needs certain access to some directories - this applies especially to Linux/*nix systems.

• The "/limesurvey/tmp" directory (and all its subdirectories and files) are used for imports & uploads and should be set to Read & Write for your webserver.
• The "/limesurvey/upload/" directory (and all its subdirectories and files) must also have Read & Write for your webserver in order to enable picture and media files upload.
• The "/limesurvey/application/config/" directory also needs Read & Write permissions for your webserver.
• The other directories can be set to Read Only. You may wish in Linux/Unix to set the permissions on each file within the /limesurvey/admin directory to Read Only.

  If you are using Linux, then setting permissions depends on your webserver configuration. For example, if you use Apache HTTPD on CentOS, type chmod -R 755 <directory> ; chown -R apache <directory>. This will give everyone access to read, and your webserver will have the permission to write. Check the following link for more information on Linux permissions.

Create a database user

LimeSurvey will create a database and the tables inside it. To be able to do this, it will need the user name and password of a database user. We generally recommend creating a database user with the following permissions:

- MySQL: SELECT, CREATE, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP, INDEX

- PostgreSQL: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, TRUNCATE, TRIGGER

- Microsoft SQL Server: Unknown - if you can find out this information, please complete it.

Run the installation script

Go to "http://www.example.com/limesurvey/admin". If you configured everything correctly, the LimeSurvey installer should be starting - just follow the instructions. You will be asked whether you wish to create the database and/or create the tables inside the database. LimeSurvey will then create the needed tables in the database.

Connect to the administration script for the first time

You are done when the installation finishes! Open your browser and enter the URL to the LimeSurvey administration. Assuming you used 'limesurvey' as the directory name to store the files in, this will be something like "http://www.example.com/limesurvey/admin".

You should get a login screen. The default login credentials (if they have not been changed during the installation) are:

User: admin
Password: password

You will be prompted to change the default password after you logged in. Have fun!

Se eu tiver problemas...

Como todos os programas de computador, a maior parte do tempo as coisas vão funcionar como dizem as instruções, mas às vezes simplesmente não vão. Existem tantas razões possíveis para que as coisas não saiam conforme o planos, que não é possível descrevê-las aqui. Então, se você encontar um problema, primeiro verifique o FAQ de instalação. Se não encontrar a resposta, então envie seu problema e eventuais mensagens de erro para LimeSurvey forums em limesurvey.org ou junte-se ao canal IRC LimeSurvey IRC:
