An important aspect of the installation is for the person doing it to understand how all the moving parts fix together. The illustration below shows all the typical Islandora developed components in red. The other supporting components/applications are represented in other colors. However we overload the term "Islandora" to represent the whole repository solution stack.

In order to install Islandora, you will also have to install (at minimum):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.

• milestone 1 - Installing Fedora

• milestone 2 - Installing Drupal

• milestone 3 -

• Fedora Commons : instructions "Installing Fedora"
• Drupal (version 7) : instructions "Installing Drupal"
• Islandora Drupal Filter for Fedora Commons : instructions "

  Installing & Configuring Drupal Filter

  " | jar downloads on github

• milestone 4 - Installing The "Tuque" library

• milestone 5 - Installing the Islandora Essential Modules

• milestone 6 - Installing Solr and GSearch

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).

This chapter contains the following sections:

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:
