Any Islandora Solution Pack may come with a specific set of requirements and dependencies outside of the scope of the Islandora Core Functionality Installation. You will need to install any dependencies specific to a Solution Pack in order for that Solution Pack to function properly.

Installing the Islandora

Core Module for Drupal

To install the module, use the standard Drupal module installation structure:

...

Enable the uploaded module by navigating to base-site-url/admin/modules, scrolling down to the Islandora Prime module Core Module (in the 'Islandora' category), checking the box to the left of it, and then scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking the 'Save configuration' button.

...

The three tabs to the left of the screen provide the following areas for configuration: 

Test the Islandora

...

Core Module installation:

  • Once Islandora Prime Core is enabled, you should be able to test. Ensure that the 'testing' module is enabled in Drupal (it is not by default), then go to Configuration -> Development -> Testing and click the link.
  • This will pop up a new window with a list of tests to run. Scroll down to Islandora, then click the checkbox. Scroll down to the bottom and click "Run Tests". This will take about 30 minutes to run, so go grab a coffee.


    Note

    Once you've installed the Islandora Prime Core Module, the installation of the Basic Image Solution Pack will confirm that Islandora and Fedora are working well together. This is mostly a test to confirm the results of the testing mentioned above, but it is quick and easy. The image solution pack requires (as an un-listed dependency) the Basic Collection solution pack. We'll need to install that as well.

...

  • Now, go into the Drupal modules menu. At the bottom, turn on Basic Collection and and Basic Image service packs, and save the configuration. Make sure the packages are enabled without error.
  • Then  go to the main page of the Drupal site. Click the link on the bottom left of the screen that says Islandora Repository. You should see a title "Top-level Collection" and a single folder titled "Basic Image Collection".
  • As with the Islandora PrimeCore, you should be able to test both Basic Collection and and Basic Image service packs. Ensure that the 'testing' module is enabled in Drupal (it is not by default), then go to Configuration -> Development -> Testing and click the link.
  • This will pop up a new window with a list of tests to run. Scroll down to Islandora Basic Collection and Islandora Basic Image, then click their checkboxes. Scroll down to the bottom and click "Run Tests".
