  <p>

   Ant allows compilation and installation to be done in one step.

   Change into the metacat directory and type: 

   <pre><b>ant install</b></pre>

   or, if you are upgrading an existing installation, type:

   <pre><b>ant clean upgrade</b></pre>

   <p>

   You should see a bunch of messages telling you the progress of compilation

   and installation.  When it is done you should see the message 

   BUILD SUCCESSFUL

   and you should be returned to a UNIX command prompt.  If you do not see

   the message BUILD SUCCESSFUL then there was an error that you need to 

   resolve.

   This may come up if you are logged in as a user that does not have write

   access to one or more of the directories that are listed in the build.xml

   file, or if any of the paths to files are not configured correctly in the

   "config" target.

  </p>

  <p>

  Note: The 'data' directories that are indicated in the 'datafilepath' and

  'inlinedatafilepath' build properties must be writeable

  by user account under which Tomcat runs or you will not be able to upload 

  data files to the system.

  </p>

  <p class="header"><h2>Registering schemas and DTDs</h2></p>

  <p>Once the tables have been created, you should also register the Ecological

  Metadata Language (EML) DTDs and schemas. <b>However, note that you should 

  NOT do this if you are upgrading an existing installation -- the upgrade

  scripts take care of it for you (see the next section).</b>  If you are

  installing new, you can register the schema documents by running:</p>

  <pre><b>ant register-schemas</b></pre> 

  <p>This command registers the EML DTDs' and schemas' location in the 

  metacat server.  Your database username and password have to be set correctly

  for this to work.
