Installation Steps

These are steps make up the quick “get-up-and-running” installation steps for of Drupal, targeted at an audience comfortable using a command line interface. A more comprehensive installation guide is available from Drupal.org.

Download and place drupal files

1. Change directory ("cd") to the location where you wish to install Drupal. For example, a very common Apache web directory is "/var/www/"

   Code Block
   language bash
   $ cd /var/www/

2. Obtain the latest Drupal release and extract the contents of the compressed file (as of this writing it was 7.34)

   $ wget http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-x.x.tar.gz $ tar -xzvf drupal-x.x.tar.gz

   Code Block
   language bash
   $ cd /opt/downloads $ wget http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-x.x.tar.gz $ tar -xzvf drupal-x.x.tar.gz

   Info
   Remember: the "x.x" is in reference to whatever Drupal version you would download. This version of Islandora is currently only compatible with Drupal 7.x.x If you're intending to use a version of Islandora other than 7.x.x, please reference previously documentation that can be found here.

3. Change directory ("cd") to the location where you wish to install Drupal. For example, a very common Apache web directory is "/var/www/

   Code Block
   language bash
   $ cd /var/www

4. Move the contents of  the drupal-x.x directory into a directory within your web server's document root or public HTML directory (ensure that the .htaccess file, a hidden file, is successfully moved into the destination directory as well).

   Code Block
   language bashsql
   $ mv -v /opt/downloads/drupal-x.x public_html/your_drupal_directory/* /var/www

   Note
   Please note: Your Apache config will need to so reflect the path to your Islandora install. Apache site/virtual host configuration files are ideal.
