27 | <h4>The Greenstone software</h4>
|
---|
28 |
|
---|
29 | <p> The Greenstone Digital Library software provides a new way of organizing
|
---|
30 | information and making it available over the Internet. A <i>collection</i> of
|
---|
31 | information comprises several (typically several thousand, or even several
|
---|
32 | million) <i>documents</i>, which share a uniform searching and browsing
|
---|
33 | interface. The collections in a library are organized in a different
|
---|
34 | way--though they share a strong family resemblance. Although primarily
|
---|
35 | designed for access over the Web, Greenstone collections can be made available,
|
---|
36 | in precisely the same form, on CD-ROM for standalone PCs. Greenstone is
|
---|
37 | open-source software, available under the terms of the Gnu public linense.
|
---|
38 |
|
---|
39 | <h4>Installing Greenstone</h4>
|
---|
40 |
|
---|
41 | <p> To install on unix systems:
|
---|
42 |
|
---|
43 | <ul>
|
---|
44 | <li>Download the <a href="http://www.nzdl.org/technology/gsdl-2.11.tar.gz"><i>gsdl-2.11</i></a> distribution.
|
---|
45 | <li>Extract the gzipped tar archive (tar xvzf gsdl-2.11.tar.gz)
|
---|
46 | <li>In the resulting gsdl directory type "./configure". When the configure script has finished running type
|
---|
47 | "make", then "make install".
|
---|
48 | <li>"make install" copies the compiled executable file into the top level gsdl directory by default. To
|
---|
49 | run the library as a cgi script move the executable to your cgi-bin directory.
|
---|
50 | <li>To build the demonstration collection that comes with the distribution run the builddemo.sh script
|
---|
51 | from within the gsdl directory.
|
---|
52 | <li>The gsdl/etc/site.cfg.example file must be saved as gsdl/etc/site.cfg and edited to suit your site.
|
---|
53 | Things that may need changing are httpprefix (the web path to the gsdl directory) and httpimg (the path
|
---|
54 | to gsdl/images).
|
---|
55 | </ul>
|
---|
56 |
|
---|
57 | <p> The current distribution of the Greenstone software was developed primarily for use on unix systems.
|
---|
58 | The software does run under Windows/DOS however and windows specific distributions (including pre-compiled
|
---|
59 | binaries) will soon be made available.
|
