Hi B, Glad that you're interested in trying out Evergreen! Evergreen has three parts: * OPAC * staff client * server OPAC You can try out the OPAC with any web browser. Demo version: http://demo.gapines.org/opac/en-US/skin/default/xml/index.xml Georgia PINES OPAC: http://gapines.org/opac/en-US/skin/default/xml/index.xml <http://gapines.org/opac/en-US/skin/default/xml/index.xml> Staff Client You can install the Staff Client most easily on Windows. (There's also source code for linux and an untested Mac version). Download from http://open-ils.org/downloads.php <http://open-ils.org/downloads.php> You'll use demo.gapines.org as the server for the staff client, and use a sample user account (Usernames and passwords are at http://open-ils.org/downloads/demo_users.txt ) Evergreen Server The Evergreen server runs on linux. There are multiple ways of installing it. VMWare image Using a VMWare image is probabaly the easiest way to try out the server. See http://www.open-ils.org/downloads.php . Prerequisite software: appropriate linux distribution (Debian, Gentoo or Ubantu) and virtual machine software such as http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ <http://www.vmware.com/products/player/> Script-based installation from source code Once you have linux installed, you can try John Schmidt's Evergreen installer script. The script has been tested with Debian (Etch release) as of February, and may work with other linux distributions as well. See http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=jaschmidt:evergreen_installer Prerequisite software: linux (preferably Debian Etch) (The script itself installs other prerequisite software.) >From Source Code If, instead, you want to install Evergreen 'from scratch', you can find generic installation information at http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=generic_installation_informatio n <http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=generic_installation_informati on> Additional documentation is available for Debian, Gentoo, and Ubuntu distributions: http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=server_installation <http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=server_installation>
Prerequisite software for installing from source code: linux (best documentation for Debian, Gentoo, or Ubuntu) You can find more information about the prerequisite software at http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=generic_installation_informatio n . Currently that list has these prerequisites: 1. Installing PostgreSQL <http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=installing_postgresql> 2. Installing Apache2 <http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=installing_apache2> 3. Installing mod_perl2 <http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=installing_mod_perl2> 4. Perl Modules <http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=perl_modules> 5. Ejabberd <http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=ejabberd> 6. Spidermonkey <http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=spidermonkey> 7. libdbi <http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=libdbi> General linux advice If you're not already running linux, the Open-ils-dev archives suggest that Debian is most popular among developers.You can get a free download of the current stable release of Debian, called Etch, from the debian.org website: Installer: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/debian-installer/ Manual: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual <http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual> General Evergreen help FAQ http://open-ils.org/faq.php Wiki http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php Listservs http://open-ils.org/listserv.php I'd suggest Open-ils-dev for questions with the server, and Open-ils-general for other questions. Also check the listserv archives.
