+Installing from a Source Distribution
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Download the greenstone-3.xx-src.tar.gz package from sourceforge.net/projects/greenstone3, and unpack it.
+In the greenstone3 directory, edit the build.properties file and run 
+ant prepare install
+
+Tomcat and MySQL will be downloaded as part of the prepare process. To stop this set the tomcat.installed.path and/or mysql.installed.path to be the root of existing Tomcat/MySQL installations. 
+The Tomcat distribution is cross platform, but MySQL is not - only Windows, GNU/Linux and Mac OS X versions will be used (see below). If you require a different version of MySQL, then you will need to install it yourself.
+
+* Solaris notes:
+** Make sure /usr/local/bin is in your PATH ahead of /usr/bin etc.
+** Add /usr/local/lib to LD_LIBARY_PATH
+** The gdbm database files (gs2mgdemo and gs2mgppdemo collections) were generated on a Mac, and don't seem to be compatible with Solaris. A text version of the file (database.txt) is included in the index/text directory. After installing Greenstone, and before running it, you'll need to:
+in greenstone3/gs2build directory: run 'source setup.bash' (Or if you have greenstone 2 already installed, run 'source setup.bash' in your greenstone 2 installation)
+in greenstone3/web/sites/localsite/collect/gs2mgdemo/index/text directories, run 'txt2db gs2mgdemo.bdb < database.txt'
+in greenstone3/web/sites/localsite/collect/gs2mgppdemo/index/text directories, run 'txt2db gs2mgppdemo.bdb < database.txt'
+** GLI shell scripts may not work like "./gli4gs3.sh". In this case, run "bash ./gli4gs3.sh" etc. You will need to compile GLI by hand (run "bash ./makegli.sh" in greenstone3/gli directory).
+** Set CC=gcc environment variable if you don't have cc, before running ant install.
