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 (for minidoms). 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

• test for the presence of mySQL on your machine (This can be done simply using the  mysql  command. Leave mySQL using  \q ) - if mySQL is not present, install mySQL.

• 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').

• Make sure the variables JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME are defined in your ~/.profile (point them both to $JDK_HOME)

• Do a source ~/.profile

• In miniDOMS do

mkdir installed/fedora_install
cd installed/fedora_install/
export FEDORA_HOME=$PWD

• In miniDOMS/install_tool/bin do a ./minidoms_install.sh

Then

cd ../../installed/tomcat/bin/
./startup.sh

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