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'
