|
|

|
|
|

|
<p>The Metacat Registry provides an easy mechanism to create and
|
|
88
|
edit simple EML metadata documents, and accounts for your Metacat
|
|
89
|
users. It is an optional component of Metacat, but is useful when
|
|
90
|
you need very low barriers to creating simple EML, or have users
|
|
91
|
unable to use Morpho. The LDAP account management interface is
|
|
92
|
useful if you are authenticating users against LDAP, and need to
|
|
93
|
provide a basic mechanism for managing user accounts.</p>
|

|
|
|
95
|
<h2 id="installation-instructions">Installation Instructions</h2>
|
|
96
|
|
|
97
|
<p>The Registry can be installed on any machine Metacat runs on,
|
|
98
|
but does require additional legwork to get it installed. It
|
|
99
|
requires that Metacat is set deployed behind Apache, as our
|
|
100
|
recommended installation platform, and the instructions assume
|
|
101
|
Apache is already installed and working correctly.</p>
|
|

<h2 id="steps">Steps</h2>

|
|
|
105
|
<ol class="decimal">
|
|
106
|
<li>
|
|
107
|
<p>Download and extract the Metacat release:</p>
|
|
108
|
<blockquote>
|
|
109
|
<pre><span class="type">mkdir</span> metacat && cd metacat
|
|
110
|
<span class="type">wget</span> http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/dist/metacat-src-1.8.0.zip

</blockquote>
|
|
116
|
</li>
|
|
117
|
|
|
118
|
<li>
|
|
119
|
<p>Build the Metacat Perl client library:</p>
|
|
120
|
<blockquote>
|
|
121
|
<pre><span class="type">cd</span> $METACAT/src/perl/Metacat
|
|
122

|
123

<span class="type">sudo make</span>
|
|
124
|
<span class="type">sudo make install</span>
|
|
125
|
</pre>
|
|
126
|
</blockquote>
|
|
127
|
</li>
|
|
128
|
|
|
129
|
<li>
|
|
130
|
<p>Install the system libraries needed. On Redhat:
|
|
131
|
<blockquote>
|
|
132
|
<pre><span class="type">sudo yum install</span> gcc libxml2-devel libxslt-devel ant -y
|
|
133
|
</pre>
|
|
134
|
</blockquote>
|
|
135
|
|
|
136
|
On Debian:
|
|
137
|
<blockquote>
|
|
138
|
<pre>
|
|
139
|
<span class="type">sudo apt-get install</span> ant libappconfig-perl libxml-libxml-perl libxml-libxslt-perl \
|
|
140
|
libtemplate-perl libcgi-session-perl libdigest-sha1-perl libnet-ldap-perl \
|
|
141
|
libterm-readkey-perl libxml-dom-perl libsoap-lite-perl libio-socket-ssl-perl -y
|
|
142
|
</pre>
|
|
143
|
</blockquote>
|
|
144
|
You will need to install one package using cpan
|
|
145
|
<blockquote><pre><span class="type">sudo cpan</span> -i Config::Properties</pre></blockquote>
|
|
146
|
<blockquote><pre><span class="type">sudo cpan</span> -i scalar::util</pre></blockquote>
|
|
147
|
|
|
148
|
Debian users should skip ahead to step 6.
|
|
149
|
</p>
|
|
150
|
</li>
|
|
151
|
|
|
152
|
<li>
|
|
153
|
<p>Install CPAN, which allows us to install the Perl
|
|
154
|
dependencies for the registry and account management parts of
|
|
155
|
Metacat. If asked to manually configure cpan, type 'no' and
|
|
156
|
CPAN will be setup with its default values.</p>
|
|
157
|
<blockquote>
|
|
158
|
<pre><span class="type">sudo yum install</span> perl-CPAN
|
|
159
|
<span class="type">sudo cpan</span>
|
|
160
|
</pre>
|
|
161
|
</blockquote>
|
|
162
|
|
|
163
|
<p>You should now see a prompt which looks like:</p>
|
|
164
|
<blockquote>
|
|
165
|
<pre><span class="string">cpan></span>
|
|
166
|
</pre>
|
|
167
|
</blockquote>
|
|
168
|
|
|
169
|
<p>The rest of the commands will assume you're inside of
|
|
170
|
CPAN. Let's get the most recent version of the CPAN software.
|
|
171
|
Just press return after any prompts you recieve during this
|
|
172
|
process.</p>
|
|
173
|
<blockquote>
|
|
174
|
<pre>install Bundle::CPAN
|
|
175
|
reload cpan
|

</li>
|
|
179

180
|
<li>
|
|
181
|
<p>Install the required modules. Here we're installing an old
|
|
182
|
LibXSLT, as the current one requires a newer libxslt than is
|
|
183
|
available on Redhat 4 & 5. Again, just answer 'yes' to
|
|
184
|
any questions.</p>

<p>Double check that Metacat's temporary folder, <code><span class="string">application.tempDir</span></code>, is writable by the apache user, usually <code><span class="string">www-data</span></code> or <code><span class="string">apache</span></code>.
|

202
