SPAM: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Trying out Evergreen--OPAC, staff client, server RE: hi

[Dan Scott]

Great response, Jodi - we should probably fold some of that nice,
straightforward response into the Evergreen FAQ at
http://open-ils.org/faq.php

One small comment - VMWare Server and VMWare Player is an application
that runs on Windows as well as Linux.  So you can actually open up
one of the Evergreen VMWare images on a Windows system, and have
Linux, running inside of VMWare, running on Windows. No need to
install Linux at all. Of course, it helps to have a basic familiarity
with Linux if you want to get your own MARC records on it, etc...

> OPAC
> You can try out the OPAC with any web browser.
> Demo version: http://demo.gapines.org/opac/en-US/skin/default/xml/index.xml
> Georgia PINES OPAC: http://gapines.org/opac/en-US/skin/default/xml/index.xml
>
> Staff Client
> You can install the Staff Client most easily on Windows. (There's also
> source code for linux and an untested Mac version).
> Download from http://open-ils.org/downloads.php You'll use demo.gapines.org
> as the server for the staff client, and use a sample user account (Usernames
> and passwords are at http://open-ils.org/downloads/demo_users.txt )

> Evergreen Server

> The Evergreen server runs on linux. There are multiple ways of installing

> VMWare image
> Using a VMWare image is probabaly the easiest way to try out the server. See

> From Source Code

> http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=generic_installation_information
> Additional documentation is available for Debian, Gentoo, and Ubuntu

> Prerequisite software for installing from source code: linux (best

> You can find more information about the prerequisite software at

> Currently that list has these prerequisites:

>
> Installing PostgreSQL
>
> Installing Apache2
>
> Installing mod_perl2
>
> Perl Modules
>
> Ejabberd
>
> Spidermonkey
>
> libdbi
> General linux advice
