To install miniDOMS locally, several steps need to be taken.

We assume you have the files and access them through IDEA.

• Under IDEA, open Ant-build , run the 'release'-target. This creates a minidoms.tar.gz, most likely under  DOMS/legacy/minidoms/dist/ 

• unpack this file somewhere, not in the directory where you intend for the miniDOMS to end up.

(eg.  miniDOMS/install_tool  )

• Create the dir where you intend to have the miniDOMS end up. (eg.  miniDOMS/installed/  - this is your target dir

• Within the dir where you unpacked the .gz file, in the 'config' dir, find the 'conf' file. Change the INSTALL_HOME to your target dir (can be found using 'pwd').

miniDOMS/installed$ pwd
miniDOMS/installed
miniDOMS/installed$ cd ..
miniDOMS/$ cd install_tool
miniDOMS/install_tool$ cd config
miniDOMS/install_tool$ gedit conf

• test for the presence of mySQL on your machine (TODO: HOW?) - if mySQL is not present, install mySQL.
• move into your unpacking dir - enter 'bin'.
• run the install script - simply type './install.sh'
• In the target dir, move to 'fedore_install/'
• 'export FEDORA_HOME=$PWD'
• target dir: './bin/startup.sh'

thus

miniDOMS/install_tool$ cd bin
miniDOMS/install_tool/bin$ ./install.sh
miniDOMS/install_tool/bin$ cd ..
miniDOMS/install_tool$ cd ..
miniDOMS/$ cd installed
miniDOMS/installed$ ~/.profile
miniDOMS/installed$ cd tomcat
miniDOMS/installed/tomcat$ cd bin
miniDOMS/installed/tomcat/bin$ ./startup.sh
miniDOMS/installed/tomcat/bin$ cd ..
miniDOMS/installed/tomcat$ cd..
miniDOMS/installed$ cd fedora_install
miniDOMS/installed/fedora_install$ export FEDORA_HOME=$PWD
miniDOMS/installed/fedora_install$ cd ..
miniDOMS/installed$ ./tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
miniDOMS/installed$ ./bin/startup.sh

• test with 'http://localhost:7900/fedora/search'
