| 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.
|
