GIT extraction of VIVO's code

This step consists of extracting the code needed to compile and develop the VIVO internationalization.

Item 1) Creating the workspace

Whether under Windows or on Unix it is necessary to create a space in which it is possible to work. As proposals we suggest creating a directory called under the Tomcat root directory. In the case of users and Unix we suggest to carry out the operations under the tomcat username. This precaution facilitates the management of credentials associated with development under Linux.

sudo -i -u tomcat # sudo in Linux - not on Windows
mkdir $TOMCAT_HOME/GIT # $TOMCAT_HOME is predefined at the installation of Tomcat
cd $TOMCAT_HOME/GIT

Item 2) Extracting VIVO from GitHub

To VIVO internationalization, it is necessary to extract the four following GitHub repo:

git clone https://github.com/vivo-project/Vitro.git Vitro -b branch_name_to_be_coming
git clone https://github.com/vivo-project/VIVO.git VIVO -b branch_name_to_be_coming
git clone https://github.com/vivo-project/VIVO-languages VIVO-languages -b branch_name_to_be_coming
git clone https://github.com/vivo-project/Vitro-languages Vitro-languages -b branch_name_to_be_coming
