  1. These instructions assume that you are performing a clean install. Product functionality may not be as expected if you install over an existing installation of an earlier version.

The VIVO Harvester is a library of tools written in Java for exporting data from external systems and importing it into VIVO. The code is released in two ways, as a debian file and as tar file. Linux machines that use apt-get style repositories (debian, ubuntu) can install the debian file by downloading it and using dpkg -i filename.deb to install. The tarball can be unpacked on any OS where java is supported and run.

Requirements

  • Required Software
    • Sun Java 6
    • Maven (maven2 or maven3): This is required to compile the code. It automatically handles the retrieval of any third-party dependencies, performs code compilation, and performs unit tests.
    • Subversion: This is required for code checkout
  • Deb Version
    *The debian package installs itself into the /usr/share/vivo/harvester/ directory. It should prompt before updating config files when installing a new version of the harvester over an old version.
  • Tarball
    • Unpacks into any directory you wish and can be run with no additional installation. This is a great option if you don't have root access on the machine you're working on.
