[[!meta title="Trac autoinstaller"]]
We’ve just added another
[autoinstaller](http://scripts.mit.edu/start/) to our stable:
[Trac](http://trac.edgewall.org/), the issue tracker everyone seems
to use these days for software projects.

You can get a Trac instance up and running for your own project in
less than 60 seconds by typing

    $ add scripts
    $ scripts-trac

from any Athena machine, and following the instructions.

Like all autoinstalled software, Trac instances will be
[automatically upgraded](http://scripts.mit.edu/faq/44) after the
Trac upstream makes a new release. (*[see update below]* You can
[turn this feature off](http://scripts.mit.edu/faq/44) if you want,
and keep up with security upgrades on your own.)

This brings the count of autoinstallable applications up to 9:

    advancedbook
    e107
    gallery2
    joomla
    mediawiki
    phpbb
    phpical
    trac
    wordpress

You can read more about these applications on our
[quick-start page](http://scripts.mit.edu/start/).

**update**: In fact, because of the way Trac works, you can’t turn
off autoupgrades in an autoinstalled Trac instance — there’s one
central copy of the software on scripts.mit.edu, not a copy in each
Trac instance. You can always do a manual install of the software
if you really want to handle upgrades yourself.
