    4 Trac is a lightweight project management tool that is implemented as a web-based application. Trac is written in the Python programming language and needs a database (either [http://sqlite.org/ SQLite] or [http://www.postgresql.org/ PostgreSQL] works). For HTML rendering, Trac uses the [http://www.clearsilver.net/ Clearsilver] templating system.

    66What follows are generic instructions for installing and setting up Trac and its requirements. While you can find instructions for installing Trac on specific systems at [http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/TracInstallPlatforms TracInstallPlatforms] on the main Trac site, please be sure to first read through these general instructions to get a good understanding of the tasks involved.
    … …  
    1111
    1212 * [http://www.python.org/ Python], version >= 2.3.
    13    * Python 2.4 is not supported on Windows since there are no Subversion bindings available for it.
    1413   * For RPM-based systems you might also need the `python-devel` and `python-xml` packages.
     14   * If you want to use Trac with Subversion on Windows, note that there are no precompiled Subversion bindings for Python 2.4, so you probably need Python 2.3.
    1515 * [http://www.clearsilver.net/ ClearSilver], version >= 0.9.3
    1616   * With python-bindings (`./configure --with-python=/usr/bin/python`)
    … …  
    1818   The database can be either SQLite, PostgreSQL or MySQL ''(experimental)''.
    1919
    20 ''Note: As of Trac 0.10, Subversion is not a mandatory requirement anymore.''
    21 
    2220=== For SQLite ===
    2321
    2422 * [http://www.sqlite.org/ SQLite], version 2.8.x or 3.x (preferred)
    25  * The python bindings for the above, see details in PySqlite
     23 * [http://pysqlite.initd.org/ PySQLite], version 1.x (for SQLite 2.x) or version 2.x (for SQLite 3.x). For details see [http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/PySqlite PySqlite]
    2624
    2725''Note: Versions of Trac prior to 0.9 do '''not''' work with PySQLite 2.x.''
    … …  
    4038=== For MySQL ===
    4139
    42  * [http://sf.net/projects/mysql-python MySQLdb] >= 1.2.1
     40'''Warning''': MySQL support is currently experimental. That means it works for some people, but has not been tested extensively yet.
     41
     42 * [http://mysql.com/ MySQL], version 4.1 or later
     43 * [http://sf.net/projects/mysql-python MySQLdb], version 1.2.1 or later
    4344
    4445''Note: MySQL support requires Trac version 0.10 or later.''
    … …  
    5051   * Trac uses the [http://www.swig.org/ SWIG] bindings included in the Subversion distribution, '''not''' [http://pysvn.tigris.org/ PySVN] (which is sometimes confused with the standard SWIG bindings).
    5152   * If Subversion was already installed without the SWIG bindings, you'll need to re-`configure` Subversion and `make swig-py`, `make install-swig-py`.
    52  * Other systems are being actively worked on; check [http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/VersioningSystemBackend VersioningSystemBackend]
     53 * Support for other version control systems is provided via third-party. See [http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/VersioningSystemBackend PluginList] and [http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/VersioningSystemBackend VersioningSystemBackend]

    108 [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] will prompt you for the information it needs to create the environment, such as the name of the project, the type and the path to an existing [wiki:TracEnvironment#SourceCodeRepository source code repository], the [wiki:TracEnvironment#DatabaseConnectionStrings database connection string], and so on. If you're not sure what to specify for one of these options, just leave it blank to use the default value. The database connection string in particular will always work as long as you have SQLite installed. The only option where the default value is likely to not work is the path to the Subversion repository, so make sure that one's correct.

The database connection string in particular will always work as long as you have SQLite installed. Leaving the path to the source code repository empty will disable any functionality related to version control, but you can always add that back when the basic system is running.
