6These are some extra notes for installing Greenstone from SVN. Please also read the README.txt file for general information as almost all of that applies here too.

8Installing Greenstone from an SVN checkout:
9---------------------------------------------------------------------
10
11Make sure an SVN executable is on your PATH.
12
13Checkout the code:
14
15svn co http://svn.greenstone.org/greenstone3/trunk greenstone3
16
17Build and install:
18
19In the greenstone3 directory, edit the build.properties file (see 'Configuring your installation' in README.txt), and run 'ant prepare install'. The two targets can be run separately if you like.
20
21The 'prepare' target will download additional code (using SVN and http), so you need to be online to run it. The 'install' target can be run offline.
22
23The prepare/install targets will ask you if you accept the properties before starting.
24To suppress this prompt, use the -Dproperties.accepted=yes flag. E.g.
25ant -Dproperties.accepted=yes prepare install (from CVS), or
26To log the output, run
27ant -Dproperties.accepted=yes -logfile build.log prepare install (from CVS), or
28
29Extra Configuration notes:
30--------------------------------------------------------------
31
32Greenstone 3 uses some parts of Greenstone 2 for collection building,
33including external packages and the Librarian Interface. These will be
34installed during the Greenstone 3 installation process. If you do not want
35collection building capability, please set the disable.collection.building property to true in build.properties.
