Installing Trac has been described as "hell", "horrendous", and other such wonderfully positive words. Especially on DreamHost, as I've understood from some people.

But one of the best things of DreamHost is their community. DreamHost manages an extensive wiki, full of useful information, for instance on the topic of installing Trac. But aside from information, the DreamHost community does more!

Enter DreamTracInstall. A community effort to automate the installation of Trac on DreamHost. Using a simple shell script, you can automate the complete installation of Trac into your DreamHost account, including such useful Trac plugins as TracWebAdmin.

And so now, for a new project that I'll soon post about a bit in this spot, I have a nice and shining Trac installation! Lovely!
