To install scuttle on a Debian Gnu/Linux system you have to:
1) install mysql
apt-get install mysql-server
during that set the mysql-roots passwords
2) install scuttle
apt-get install scuttle
during that you will be asked “Configure database with dbconfig-common?”
Yes, and set the password for scuttles database
(enter the mysql’s root password to gain access to mysql, then set the scuttle-database password in the usual manner)
3) link it
ln -s /usr/share/scuttle /var/www
and open it in iceweasel:
localhost/scuttle
or:
my.address.org/scuttle
register with a username and password and you are done.

ln -s /usr/share/scuttle /var/www/content )
