15Installing Greenstone from a CVS checkout:
16------------------------------------------
17
18(cvs co gsdl3) (if not already done)
19cd gsdl3
20source gs3-setup.sh
21./gs3-prepare.sh

23make
24make install
25[make docs] (for the javadoc)
26./gs3-finalise.sh
27source gs3-setup.sh (adds all the newly created classes to the classpath)

29If you want to compile the test servlet, (useful is you are unsure whether Tomcat is working properly), go to gsdl3/web/WEB-INF/classes, and run 'javac TestServlet.java'.

31Running Greenstone:
32-------------------
33
34Run the script gs3-launch.sh from the gsdl3 directory. This starts up a Tomcat web server and a mysql database server. To shutdown, run gs3-launch.sh -shutdown
35
36Using SOAP:
37-----------
38
39To install SOAP into Tomcat (SOAP runs as a servlet), run
40./gs3-install-soap.sh
41Then re-launch Greenstone.
42
43A SOAP server for localsite comes predeployed.
44You should be able to see all localsite's collections through the gateway servlet.
45
46To set up a SOAP server on a new site, run
47gs3-soap-deploy-site <sitename> <siteURI>
48where the sitename is the directory name of the site, and siteURI is a unique
