you wish to install Metacat must have the following software installed and
12 12
running correctly:
13 13

  
14
* PostgreSQL_ (or another SQL92-compliant RDBMS like Oracle_) 
14
* PostgreSQL_ 
15 15
* `Apache Ant`_ (if building from source)
16 16
* `Apache Tomcat`_ 
17 17
* `Apache HTTPD Server`_ (recommended)
......
34 34

  
35 35
System requirements for running Metacat:
36 36

  
37
* a server running an SQL92-compliant database (PostgreSQL_ recommended) 
37
* a server running PostgreSQL_ database
38 38
* at least 512MB RAM
39 39
* 200 MB disk space (Note: The amount of disk space required depends on the size of your RDBMS tablespace and the the size and number of documents stored. Metacat itself requires only about 140 MB of free space after installation).

Installing and Configuring Required Software
175 169
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
176 170
Before you can install and run Metacat, you must ensure that a recent Java SDK,
177
PostgreSQL (or another SQL92-compliant RDBMS like Oracle), Ant (if
171
PostgreSQL, Ant (if
178 172
installing from source), and Tomcat are installed and running correctly. We
179 173
also highly recommend that you install Apache Web server, as it provides a more
180 174
robust Web-serving environment and is required by some Metacat functionality. 
......
182 176
* `Java 7`_
183 177
* `Apache Tomcat`_ 
184 178
* `Apache HTTPD Server`_ (Highly Recommended)
185
* PostgreSQL_ Database (or Oracle_)
179
* PostgreSQL_ Database 
186 180
* `Apache Ant`_ (if building from Source)

...................
367
Metacat has been most widely tested with PostgreSQL_ and we recommend using it.
368
Instructions for installing and configuring Oracle are also included in the
369
next section.  To install and configure PostgreSQL_:
361
Currently Metacat only supports PostgreSQL_. To install and configure PostgreSQL_:

Configuration.

463
Installing and Configuring Oracle
464
.................................
465
To use Oracle with Metacat, the Oracle RDBMS must be installed and running
466
as a daemon on the system. In addition the JDBC listener must be enabled.
467
Enable it by logging in as an Oracle user and typing::
468

  
469
  lsnrctl start
470

  
471
Your instance should have a table space of at least 5 MB (10 MB or higher
472
recommended). You must also create and enable a username specific to Metacat.
473
The Metacat user must have most normal permissions including: CREATE SESSION,
474
CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX, CREATE TRIGGER, EXECUTE PROCEDURE, EXECUTE TYPE,
475
etc. If an action is unexplainably rejected by Metacat, the user permissions
476
are (most likely) not correctly set.
477

  
478
The Metacat servlet automatically creates the required database schema. For
479
more information, please see Database Configuration.
