|

40 | <p>
|
---|
41 | <a

|
---|

47 | <h4>Installing Greenstone</h4>
|
---|
48 |
|
---|
49 | <p> To install on unix systems:
|
---|
50 |
|
---|
51 | <ul>
|
---|
52 | <li>Download the
|
---|
53 | <a href="http://www.nzdl.org/download/greenstone/gsdl-2.13.tar.gz"><i>gsdl-2.13</i></a>
|
---|
54 | distribution <i>(4.6 Mb)</i>.
|
---|
55 | <li>Extract the gzipped tar archive <i>(tar xvzf gsdl-2.13.tar.gz)</i>.
|
---|
56 | <li>In the resulting gsdl directory type <i>./configure</i>.
|
---|
57 | When the configure script has finished running type <i>make</i>,
|
---|
58 | then <i>make install</i>.
|
---|
59 | <li><i>make install</i> copies the
|
---|
60 | compiled executable file into the gsdl/cgi-bin directory by default. To run
|
---|
61 | the library as a cgi script move the executable and the gsdlsite.cfg
|
---|
62 | configuration file to your systems cgi-bin directory.
|
---|
63 | <li>The gsdlsite.cfg
|
---|
64 | configuration file must be edited to suit your site. The gsdlhome entry
|
---|
65 | will need to be set to point to your gsdl directory. Other fields that may
|
---|
66 | need changing are httpprefix (the web path to the gsdl directory) and
|
---|
67 | httpimg (the path to gsdl/images).
|
---|
68 | <li>To build the demonstration
|
---|
69 | collection that comes with the distribution run the builddemo.sh script
|
---|
70 | from within the gsdl directory.
|
---|
71 | <li>For more information on using the
|
---|
72 | Greenstone software, download <i><a
|
---|
73 | href="http://www.nzdl.org/download/greenstone/publications/gsdl_manual.pdf">The Greenstone
|
---|
74 | Digital Library Software</a></i> manual. </ul>
|
---|
75 |
|
---|
76 | <p> The current distribution of the Greenstone software was developed primarily for use on unix systems.
|
---|
77 | The software does run under Windows/DOS however and windows specific distributions (including pre-compiled
|
---|
78 | binaries) will soon be made available.
|
---|
79 |
|
---|
80 | <h4>Greenstone Collections</h4>
|
---|
81 | Several of the smaller collections on this website are available for
|
---|
82 | download. Once the main Greenstone distribution is installed simply
|
---|
83 | download the required collection and extract the gzipped tar file to your
|
---|
84 | gsdl/collect directory. You then need to import and build your new
|
---|
85 | collection. See <i><a
|
---|
86 | href="http://www.nzdl.org/download/greenstone/publications/gsdl_manual.pdf">The Greenstone
|
---|
87 | Digital Library Software</a></i> manual for details on importing and
|
---|
88 | building collections. The Greenstone software will automatically notice
|
---|
89 | your new collection and include it in the home page once it has been built
|
---|
90 | successfully.
