Other Installation Options

  • Sandbox : not really an install, but more ready to use Islandora space on the web that you can use to test Islandora
  • Virtual Machine : pre-packaged virtual computer system that runs on your local machine. You need to have a Virtualization Software to "host" / "run" the Virtual Machine.
  • Local install : download an install the individual pieces required to use Islandora on your local machine. Requires various degrees of System Administration [Ubuntu SystemAdministration Help Page] experience, depending on your operating system.
  • Drush : a command line shell and scripting interface for Drupal that we highly recommend for installation and development for Islandora. Installations instructions for multiple platforms are provided on the Drush github page.

Components and Module Versions

Please see the Supported Versions section of the Release Notes and Downloads page. It's very important that you don't mix versions within modules, and that the version of  modules series is compatible with those of Fedora, Drupal, Tuque and Solr&GSearch.

 

Info
title"LAMP" stack

As a point of reference, having the combined installation of Apache, MySQL, and PHP under  Linux, is called a "LAMP" stack. You should consider this one-step-install-all procedure on Ubuntu 12.04LTS:

sudo tasksel install lamp-server

This will prompt you for a MySQL password for root. Enter it twice.

...

In this section (Option 1) we divided the installation into a very specific sequence of milestones, which enable the Islandora Core Functionality. These milestones help ensure that pre-requisites for subsequent steps are always met and tested .

before hand.

The The next few sections will lead you through the installation of Dependencies, Drupal, Fedora, and the Islandora Module. These instructions assume an *nix environment. Our current Windows support status is available here. The arrangement in Milestones is designed so that you are advised to perform a snapshot backup at the end of each milestone. This way if the step you are working on fails to install and test properly you'll have something to fall back on, without having to restart from scratch. You may do the snapshot backup just by stooping all the services and creating a tarball of the directory trees target of the installation (more details on each milestone).

 

 

These instructions are intended for use in concert with Drush, a command line shell and scripting interface for Drupal that we highly recommend for installation and development for Islandora. Installations instructions for multiple platforms are provided on the Drush github page.  

User who do not want to install Drush can still install Islandora using the general instructions for each component:
