Hello,
The Evergreen staff client (for end users) is available as a
self-executable installer for Windows. The latest version can be
downloaded from http://www.open-ils.org/downloads.php.
The server software only runs natively on Linux. For testing and
demonstration purposes, there are software images built using VMWare
that will run with an appropriate VMWare image player on Winows XP --
essentially creating a virtual computer on your Windows XP desktop
running Linux and the Evergreen server software. Information on VMWare
and the VMWare Evergreen images are also available from the download
page at http://www.open-ils.org/downloads.php.
Good luck.

Hi Dan:
Thanks. These are great, and I foresee that my installation problems are
at an end. Almost anyway.
Best wishes,

see how a Linux/Evergreen tyro can be seriously baffled by what must
seem trivial. A few words in the documentation could remedy this, I expect.
Unless, of course, Linux/Evergreen tyros are expected to play elsewhere.

Hmm. I had never run across "tyro" before. Anyways...
So one by one, I'll try providing more elaborate instructions. These
actually come almost directly from the workshop presentation I gave at
code4lib (
http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=advocacy:evergreen_workshop),
in which I was trying to address precisely these areas of ambiguity in
the original docs (when I was just too tired to figure out how to
explain it clearly).
Tell me if it's a move in the right direction:
#19:
Change the database name, database user and password, and database
hostname entries throughout opensrf.xml to match the database name,
username, password, and hostname that you created in step #5.
For example:
<databases>
<driver>Pg</driver>
<database>
<type>master</type>
<weight>2</weight>
<user>evergreen</user>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>5432</port>
<pw>evergreen</pw>
<db>evergreen</db>
<client_encoding>UTF-8</client_encoding>
</database>
</databases>
Change the name of the child element of the <hosts> element in
opensrf.xml to match the fully-qualified domain name of your server.
For example:
<hosts>
<evergreen-server.localdomain>
<!-- ^-=-
Should match the fully qualified domain name of the host.
On Linux, the output of the following command is
authoritative:
$ perl -MNet::Domain -e 'print Net::Domain::hostfqdn();'
-->
<activeapps>
<!-- services hosted on this machine -->
<appname>opensrf.settings</appname>
<appname>opensrf.math</appname>
...
... other stuff here
...
</evergreen-server.localdomain>
</hosts>
#20 Edit opensrf_core.xml:
1. Change the Jabber usernames and passwords as follows:
/config/opensrf/username = opensrf
/config/gateway/username = opensrf
/config/router/transport/username = router
We also specify the domains from which we'll accept and to which we'll
make connections. Let's just specify "localhost" throughout for a
single-server install for each of the following elements:
/config/opensrf/routers/router
/config/opensrf/domains/domain
/config/gateway/domains/domain
/config/router/transport/trusted_domains/server
/config/router/transport/trusted_domains/client
# 21. Copy /openils/conf/srfsh.xml.example to .srfsh.xml in the home
directory of each user you want to use to run the srfsh command line
client for testing OpenSRF, and edit .srfsh.xml as follows:
* username and password is your opensrf client
* domain is the router hostname
* logfile is the full path for a log file
<domains>
<domain>localhost</domain>
</domains>
<username>opensrf</username>
<passwd>opensrfpass</passwd>
<logfile>/home/opensrf/srfsh.log</logfile>
#22. Edit live-db-setup.pl:
1. Set the database connection information. This is used by
the cgi-bin config scripts. For example:
$main::config{dsn} = 'dbi:Pg:host=127.0.0.1;dbname=evergreen;port=5432';
$main::config{usr} = 'evergreen';
$main::config{pw} = 'evergreen';
$main::config{index} = "config.cgi";
