Follow the instructions given. 10 11 Installing Greenstone from a binary distribution (Windows): 12 ----------------------------------------------------------- 13 14 Download the gsdl3-x.xx-win32.exe executable file, and double click on it. 15 Follow the instructions given. 16 17 18 Installing Greenstone from a CVS checkout (Linux and Windows): 19 -------------------------------------------------------------- 20 21 Checkout the code: 22 23 cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:2402/usr/local/global-cvs/gsdl-src co gsdl3 24 25 Build and install: 26 27 Greenstone is built and installed using Ant (Apache's Java based build tool, 28 http://ant.apache.org). You will need a Java Development 29 Environment (1.4 or higher, we recommend Sun Java), and Ant installed to use Greenstone. You can download Ant from http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi. 30 31 Set the environment variable JAVA_HOME to be the root of your Java installation. 32 Set the environment variable ANT_HOME to be the root of you Ant installation. 33 Make sure the cvs and ant executables are on your Path. 6 You will need Java and Ant to run Greenstone 3. 7 8 Your Java version should be 1.4 or higher. We recommend Sun Java. If you are installing from a binary distribution, you will only need the JRE (Runtime environment). If you are installing from CVS, you will need the SDK (Development environment). 9 Set the environment variable JAVA_HOME to be the root of your Java installation. 10 11 Ant (Apache's Java based build tool, http://ant.apache.org) can be downloaded from http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi. Set the environment variable ANT_HOME to be the root of your Ant installation, and make sure the Ant executables are on your PATH. 34 12 35 13 In the gsdl3 directory, you can run 'ant' which will give you a help message. 36 14 Running 'ant -projecthelp' gives a list of the targets that you can run - these 37 do various things like compile the source code, startup the server etc. 38 39 For a first time install, run 'ant prepare install'. 15 do various things like compile the source code, start up the server etc. 16 17 Installing Greenstone from a binary distribution: 18 --------------------------------------------------------- 19 20 Download the appropriate zip file (gsdl3-x.xx-linux.zip/gsdl3-x.xx-win32.zip/gsdl3-x.xx-macOSX.zip), and unzip it. In the gsdl3 directory, edit the build.properties file if appropriate (see 'Configuring your installation' below), and run 'ant install'. 21 22 Installing Greenstone from a CVS checkout (Linux/Windows/MacOS X): 23 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 24 25 Make sure the CVS executable is on your PATH. 26 27 Checkout the code: 28 29 cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:2402/usr/local/global-cvs/gsdl-src co gsdl3 30 31 Build and install: 32 33 In the gsdl3 directory, edit the build.properties file if appropriate (see 'Configuring your installation' below), and run 'ant prepare install'. The two targets can be run separately if you like. 34 35 The 'prepare' target will download additional code (using CVS and http), so you need to be online to run it. The 'install' target can be run offline. 36 37 Configuring your installation: 38 ------------------------------------ 40 39 41 40 The file build.properties contains various parameters that can be set by the user. Please check these settings before running the install. 42 41 43 Greenstone uses the Tomcat servlet container. If you already have Tomcat running, you can set the tomcat.installed.path property to the base directory of your Tomcat installation, and Greenstone will not download its own Tomcat. 44 It is intended that the same thing will be available for mysql, but this has not been implemented yet. 45 46 Greenstone 3 uses some parts of Greenstone 2 for collection building using the Librarian Interface. It downloads the relevant parts during install. If you have Greenstone 2 already installed, please set the gsdl2.installed.path property to be the root of your Greenstone 2 installation. Greenstone 3 will then use this installation rather than downloading the extra Greenstone 2 bits. If you do not want to use Greenstone 2 style collection building at all, set the gsdl2.installed.path to any non-empty string. 47 48 The prepare target will ask you if you accept the properties before starting. 42 Greenstone 3 uses the Tomcat servlet container. If you already have Tomcat running, you can set the 'tomcat.installed.path' property to the base directory of your Tomcat installation, and Greenstone will not download/install its own Tomcat. Please read the section "Using External Tomcat" for details about how to configure Tomcat for Greenstone. 43 44 Greenstone 3 uses mysql for the collection database (with Greenstone 3 native building). If you already have mysql installed, set the 'mysql.installed.path' property to the base directory of your mysql installation, and Greenstone will not download/install mysql. Please read the section "Using external mysql server" for details about how to configure mysql for Greenstone. 45 46 Greenstone 3 uses some parts of Greenstone 2 for collection building using the Librarian Interface. These will be installed during the Greenstone 3 installation process. If you have Greenstone 2 already installed and want to use that version instead, please set the gsdl2.installed.path property to be the root of your Greenstone 2 installation. Greenstone 3 will then use this installation rather than its own bits. (Note, be careful about compatibility between versions.) If you are using Greenstone 3 from CVS, and don't want to download the Greenstone 2 stuff, set the gsdl2.installed.path to any non-empty string. 47 48 The prepare/install target will ask you if you accept the properties before starting. 49 49 To suppress this prompt, use the -Dproperties.accepted=yes flag. E.g. 50 ant -Dproperties.accepted=yes prepare install 50 ant -Dproperties.accepted=yes prepare install (from CVS), or 51 ant -Dproperties.accepted=yes install (from binary dist). 51 52 52 53 To log the output in build.log, run 53 ant -Dproperties.accepted=yes -logfile build.log prepare install 54 55 The prepare target will download additional code, so you need to be online to run it. install can be run offline. 56 57 Under Linux, Java and C/C++ compilation is carried out. For windows, since Visual Studio is not a standard component, only Java compilation is carried out. Pre-compiled binaries are provided for the C/C++ components (packages and Greenstone 2 style building). If you have Visual Studio installed (version 6), you can run the compile-windows-c++ targets to compile the code locally. (Don't forget to setup the Visual Studio environment first, by running, e.g. C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/VC98/Bin/VCVARS32.BAT or equivalent.) 54 ant -Dproperties.accepted=yes -logfile build.log prepare install (from CVS), or 55 ant -Dproperties.accepted=yes -logfile build.log install (from binary dist). 56 57 The compile target, under Linux, does Java and C/C++ compilation. For Windows, since Visual Studio is not a standard component, only Java compilation is carried out. Pre-compiled binaries are provided for the C/C++ components (packages and Greenstone 2 style building). If you have Visual Studio installed (version 6), you can run the compile-windows-c++ targets to compile the code locally.
