Pre-installation software checklist

The Islandora framework relies upon a number of other open source applications. Before beginning the installation of any Islandora modules, ensure:

Installing the Islandora Core Module for Drupal

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

...

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

Test the Islandora Core Module installation:

• Once Islandora 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 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.

Installing the Islandora Basic Collection Solution Pack and  the Islandora Basic Image Solution Pack

• Download the Basic Collection and Basic Image solution packs from the Release Notes and Downloads page. Unzip the contents, and rename them to the correct directory names, then copy them to /var/www/drupal/sites/all/modules and change the owner to www-data.

...

At the end of this installation, you will be ready to populate your site with digital assets (images) for testing purposes, and be capable of further enhancing its functionality by installing other Solution Packs. Your root Islandora repository can be found at base-site-url/islandora. If you can not see the basic collection folder on your Islandora repository then something is wrong with the installation. Please retrace your steps.
