			0. Prerequisites
			================

			Here is the software you need to have around before you
			start installing CDS Invenio:

			a) Unix-like operating system. The main development and
			production platforms for CDS Invenio at CERN are GNU/Linux
			distributions SLC (RHEL), Debian, and Gentoo, but we also
			develop on FreeBSD and Mac OS X. Basically any Unix system
			supporting the software listed below should do.

			Note that if you are using Debian "Sarge" GNU/Linux, you can
			install most of the below-mentioned prerequisites and
			recommendations by running:

			$ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-python2.3 \
			apache2-mpm-prefork mysql-server-4.1 mysql-client-4.1 \
			python2.3-mysqldb python2.3-4suite \
			python2.3-xml python2.3-libxml2 python2.3-libxslt1 \
			rxp gnuplot xpdf-utils gs-common antiword catdoc \
			wv html2text ppthtml xlhtml clisp gettext

			You can also install the following packages:

			$ sudo apt-get install python2.3-psyco sbcl cmucl

			The last three packages are not available on all Debian
			"Sarge" GNU/Linux architectures (e.g. not on AMD64), but they
			are only recommended so you can safely continue without them.

			Note that you can consult CDS Invenio wiki pages at
			<https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CDS/Invenio> for more
			system-specific notes.

			Note that the web application server should run a Message
			Transfer Agent (MTA) such as Postfix so that CDS Invenio can
			email notification alerts or registration information to the
			end users, contact moderators and reviewers of submitted
			documents, inform administrators about various runtime system
			information, etc.

			b) MySQL server (may be on a remote machine), and MySQL client
			(must be available locally too). MySQL versions 4.1 or 5.0
			are supported. Please set the variable "max_allowed_packet"
			in your "my.cnf" init file to at least 4M. You may also want
			to run your MySQL server natively in UTF-8 mode by setting
			"default-character-set=utf8" in various parts of your "my.cnf"
			file, such as in the "[mysql]" part and elsewhere.
			<http://mysql.com/>

			c) Apache 2 server, with support for loading DSO modules, and
			optionally with SSL support for HTTPS-secure user
			authentication. Tested mainly with version 2.0.43 and above.
			Apache 2.x is required for the mod_python module (see below).
			<http://httpd.apache.org/>

			d) Python v2.3 or above:
			<http://python.org/>
			as well as the following Python modules:
			- (mandatory) MySQLdb (version >= 1.2.1_p2; see below)
			<http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python>
			- (recommended) PyXML, for XML processing:
			<http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/topics/download.html>
			- (recommended) PyRXP, for very fast XML MARC processing:
			<http://www.reportlab.org/pyrxp.html>
			- (recommended) libxml2-python, for XML/XLST processing:
			<ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/python/>
			- (recommended) Gnuplot.Py, for producing graphs:
			<http://gnuplot-py.sourceforge.net/>
			- (recommended) Snowball Stemmer, for stemming:
			<http://snowball.tartarus.org/wrappers/PyStemmer-1.0.1.tar.gz>
			- (optional) 4suite, slower alternative to PyRXP and
			libxml2-python:
			<http://4suite.org/>
			- (optional) feedparser, for web journal creation:
			<http://feedparser.org/>
			- (optional) Psyco, to speed up the code at places:
			<http://psyco.sourceforge.net/>
			- (optional) RDFLib, to use RDF ontologies and thesauri:
			<http://rdflib.net/>
			- (optional) mechanize, to run regression web test suite:
			<http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize/>

			Note: MySQLdb version 1.2.1_p2 or higher is recommended. If
			you are using an older version of MySQLdb, you may get
			into problems with character encoding.

			e) mod_python Apache module. Tested mainly with versions
			3.0BETA4 and above. mod_python 3.x is required for Apache 2.
			Previous versions (as well as Apache 1 ones) exhibited some
			problems with MySQL connectivity in our experience.
			<http://www.modpython.org/>

			f) If you want to be able to extract references from PDF fulltext
			files, then you need to install pdftotext version 3 at least.
			<http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/home.html>

			g) If you want to be able to search for words in the fulltext files
			(i.e. to have fulltext indexing), then you need as well to install
			some of the following tools:
			- for PDF files: pdftotext or pstotext
			<http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/home.html>
			<http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/AFPL/>
			- for PostScript files: pstotext or ps2ascii
			<http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/AFPL/>
			- for MS Word files: antiword, catdoc, or wvText
			<http://www.winfield.demon.nl/index.html>
			<http://www.ice.ru/~vitus/catdoc/index.html>
			<http://sourceforge.net/projects/wvware>
			- for MS PowerPoint files: pptHtml and html2text
			<http://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/ppthtml>
			<http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~mbayer/tools/html2text.html>
			- for MS Excel files: xlhtml and html2text
			<http://chicago.sourceforge.net/xlhtml/>
			<http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~mbayer/tools/html2text.html>

			h) If you have chosen to install fast XML MARC Python processors
			in the step d) above, then you have to install the parsers
			themselves:
			- (optional) RXP:
			<http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/~richard/rxp.html>
			- (optional) 4suite:
			<http://4suite.org/>

			i) (recommended) Gnuplot, the command-line driven interactive
			plotting program. It is used to display download and citation
			history graphs on the Detailed record pages on the web
			interface. Note that Gnuplot must be compiled with PNG output
			support, that is, with the GD library. Note also that Gnuplot
			is not required, only recommended.
			<http://www.gnuplot.info/>

			j) (recommended) A Common Lisp implementation, such as CLISP,
			SBCL or CMUCL. It is used for the web server log analysing
			tool and the metadata checking program. Note that any of the
			three implementations CLISP, SBCL, or CMUCL will do. CMUCL
			produces fastest machine code, but it does not support UTF-8
			yet. Pick up CLISP if you don't know what to do. Note that a
			Common Lisp implementation is not required, only recommended.
			<http://clisp.cons.org/>
			<http://www.cons.org/cmucl/>
			<http://sbcl.sourceforge.net/>

			k) GNU gettext, a set of tools that makes it possible to
			translate the application in multiple languages.
			<http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>
			This is available by default on many systems.

			Note that the configure script checks whether you have all the
			prerequisite software installed and that it won't let you continue
			unless everything is in order. It also warns you if it cannot find
			some optional but recommended software.

			2. Detailed instructions for the patient CDS Invenio admin
			==========================================================

			The CDS Invenio uses standard GNU autoconf method to build and
			install its files. This means that you proceed as follows:

			$ cd /usr/local/src/

			Change to a directory where we will configure and build the
			CDS Invenio. (The built files will be installed into
			different "target" directories later.)

			$ wget http://cdsware.cern.ch/download/cds-invenio-0.92.1.tar.gz
			$ wget http://cdsware.cern.ch/download/cds-invenio-0.92.1.tar.gz.md5
			$ wget http://cdsware.cern.ch/download/cds-invenio-0.92.1.tar.gz.sig

			Fetch CDS Invenio source tarball from the CDS Software
			Consortium distribution server, together with MD5 checksum
			and GnuPG cryptographic signature files useful for verifying
			the integrity of the tarball.

			$ md5sum -v -c cds-invenio-0.92.1.tar.gz.md5

			Verify MD5 checksum.

			$ gpg --verify cds-invenio-0.92.1.tar.gz.sig cds-invenio-0.92.1.tar.gz

			Verify GnuPG cryptographic signature. Note that you may
			first have to import my public key into your keyring, if you
			haven't done that already:
			$ gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys 0xBA5A2B67
			The output of the gpg --verify command should then read:
			Good signature from "Tibor Simko <tibor@simko.info>"
			You can safely ignore any trusted signature certification
			warning that may follow after the signature has been
			successfully verified.

			$ tar xvfz cds-invenio-0.92.1.tar.gz

			Untar the distribution tarball.

			$ cd cds-invenio-0.92.1

			Go to the source directory.

			$ ./configure

			Configure CDS Invenio software for building for this
			specific platform. You can use the following parameters:

			--prefix=/opt/cds-invenio

			Optionally, specify the CDS Invenio general
			installation directory (default is /opt/cds-invenio).
			It will contain command-line binaries and program
			libraries containing the core CDS Invenio
			functionality, but also store web pages, runtime log
			and cache information, document data files, etc.
			Several subdirs like `bin', `etc', `lib', or `var'
			will be created inside the prefix directory to this
			effect. Note that the prefix directory should be
			chosen outside of the Apache htdocs tree, since only
			one its subdirectory (prefix/var/www) is to be
			accessible directly via the Web (see below).

			Note that CDS Invenio won't install to any other
			directory but to the prefix mentioned in this
			configuration line.

			--with-python=/opt/python/bin/python2.3

			Optionally, specify a path to some specific Python
			binary. This is useful if you have more than one
			Python installation on your system. If you don't set
			this option, then the first Python that will be found
			in your PATH will be chosen for running CDS Invenio.

			--with-mysql=/opt/mysql/bin/mysql

			Optionally, specify a path to some specific MySQL
			client binary. This is useful if you have more than
			one MySQL installation on your system. If you don't
			set this option, then the first MySQL client
			executable that will be found in your PATH will be
			chosen for running CDS Invenio.

			--with-clisp=/opt/clisp/bin/clisp

			Optionally, specify a path to CLISP executable. This
			is useful if you have more than one CLISP
			installation on your system. If you don't set this
			option, then the first executable that will be found
			in your PATH will be chosen for running CDS Invenio.

			--with-cmucl=/opt/cmucl/bin/lisp

			Optionally, specify a path to CMUCL executable. This
			is useful if you have more than one CMUCL
			installation on your system. If you don't set this
			option, then the first executable that will be found
			in your PATH will be chosen for running CDS Invenio.

			--with-sbcl=/opt/sbcl/bin/sbcl

			Optionally, specify a path to SBCL executable. This
			is useful if you have more than one SBCL
			installation on your system. If you don't set this
			option, then the first executable that will be found
			in your PATH will be chosen for running CDS Invenio.

			This configuration step is mandatory. Usually, you do this
			step only once.

			(Note that if you prefer to build CDS Invenio out of its
			source tree, you may run the above configure command like
			this: mkdir build && cd build && ../configure --prefix=...
			FIXME: this is not working right now as per the introduction
			of intbitset_setup.py.)

			$ vi ./config/invenio.conf

			Customize your CDS Invenio installation. You should edit at
			least the top of this file where you can define some very
			essential runtime parameters such as the visible URL of your
			document server (look for WEBURL and SWEBURL), the database
			credentials (look for CFG_DATABASE_*), the name of your
			document server (look for CDSNAME and CDSNAMEINTL), or the
			email address of the local CDS Invenio administrator (look
			for SUPPORTEMAIL and ADMINEMAIL).

			$ make

			Launch the CDS Invenio build. Since many messages are printed
			during the build process, you may want to run it in a
			fast-scrolling terminal such as rxvt or in a detached screen
			session.

			During this step all the pages and scripts will be
			pre-created and customized based on the config you have
			edited in the previous step.

			Note that on systems such as FreeBSD or Mac OS X you have to
			use GNU make ("gmake") instead of "make".

			$ make check-custom-templates ## optional, only when upgrading

			Check if your customized page templates (see the WebStyle
			Admin Guide) still conform to the default templates. This
			gives you a chance to fix your templates before running
			'make install', by providing a list of incompatibilities of
			your custom templates with the new versions of the
			templates.

			This step is only useful if you are upgrading and if you
			have previously customized default page templates.

			$ make install

			Install the web pages, scripts, utilities and everything
			needed for runtime into the respective directories, as
			specified earlier by the configure command.

			Note that if you are installing CDS Invenio for the first
			time, you will be asked to create a symbolic link for the
			"invenio" Python module from Python's site-packages
			directory to instruct Python where to find CDS Invenio's
			Python files. The process will hint you at the exact
			command to use based on the values you have used in the
			configure line.

			(Note also that on some operating systems you might need to
			create another symlink manually for lib64:

			$ sudo ln -s /opt/cds-invenio/lib/python/invenio \
			/usr/local/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/invenio

			if you happen to encounter some troubles finding intbitset
			libraries.)

			$ make create-tables

			If you are installing CDS Invenio for the first time, you
			have to create database tables.

			Note that this step checks for potential problems such as
			the database connection rights and may ask you to perform
			some more administrative steps in case it detects a problem.
			Notably, it may ask you to set up database access
			permissions, based on your configure values.

			If you are installing CDS Invenio for the first time, you
			have to create a dedicated database on your MySQL server
			that the CDS Invenio can use for its purposes. Please
			contact your MySQL administrator and ask him to execute the
			commands this step proposes you.

			At this point you should now have successfully completed the
			"make install" process. We continue by setting up the
			Apache web server.

			$ sudo make install-jsmath-plugin ## optional

			This will automatically download and install in the proper
			place jsMath, a Javascript library to render LaTeX formulas
			in the client browser.

			In order to enable the rendering you have to set the
			variable CFG_WEBSEARCH_USE_JSMATH_FOR_FORMATS in the
			invenio.conf to a suitable list of output format codes like
			in "['hd', 'hb']".

			$ sudo vi /path/to/apache/conf/httpd.conf

			Please ask your webserver administrator to put the following
			line in your "httpd.conf" configuration file:

			AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

			This is to ensure that the browsers will get UTF-8 as the
			default page encoding.

			As mentioned above, the web pages will get installed into
			the `prefix/var/www' directory. Therefore you should
			specify something along the lines of:

			ServerSignature Off
			ServerTokens Prod
			NameVirtualHost *:80
			<Files *.pyc>
			deny from all
			</Files>
			<Files *~>
			deny from all
			</Files>
			<VirtualHost *:80>
			ServerName webserver.domain.com
			ServerAlias webserver
			ServerAdmin cds.support@cern.ch
			DocumentRoot /opt/cds-invenio/var/www
			<Directory /opt/cds-invenio/var/www>
			Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
			AllowOverride None
			Order allow,deny
			allow from all
			</Directory>
			ErrorLog /opt/cds-invenio/var/log/apache.err
			LogLevel warn
			CustomLog /opt/cds-invenio/var/log/apache.log combined
			DirectoryIndex index.en.html index.html
			<LocationMatch
			"^(/+$\|/index\|/collection\|/record\|/author\|/search\|/browse\|/youraccount\|/youralerts\|/yourbaskets\|/yourmessages\|/yourgroups\|/submit\|/getfile\|/comments\|/error\|/oai2d\|/rss\|/help\|/journal\|/openurl)">
			SetHandler python-program

			</LocationMatch>
			<Directory /opt/cds-invenio/var/www>
			AddHandler python-program .py
			PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
			PythonDebug On
			</Directory>
			</VirtualHost>

			This will tell Apache where to find the files, how to
			interpret .py files, which files to serve as indexes, etc.

			If you have configured the system to use secure URL for
			login (see above), then you have to specify secure site too,
			such as:

			ServerSignature Off
			ServerTokens Prod
			NameVirtualHost *:443
			#SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem
			SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/server.crt

			PythonDebug On
			</Directory>
			</VirtualHost>

			$ sudo /path/to/apache/bin/apachectl graceful

			Please ask your webserver administrator to restart the
			Apache server after the above "httpd.conf" changes.

			$ sudo chgrp -R www-data /opt/cds-invenio
			$ sudo chmod -R g+r /opt/cds-invenio
			$ sudo chmod -R g+rw /opt/cds-invenio/var
			$ sudo find /opt/cds-invenio -type d -exec chmod g+rxw {} \;

			One more superuser step, because we need to enable Apache
			server to read files from the installation place and to
			write some log information and to cache interesting entities
			inside the "var" subdirectory of our CDS Invenio
			installation directory.

			Here we assumed that your Apache server processes are run
			under "www-data" group. Change this appropriately for your
			system.

			Moreover, note that if you are using SELinux extensions
			(e.g. on Fedora Core 6), you may have to check and enable
			the write access of Apache user there too.

			After these admin-level tasks to be performed as root, let's
			now go back to finish the installation of the CDS Invenio.

			$ make create-demo-site ## optional

			This step is recommended to test your local CDS Invenio
			installation. It should give you our "Atlantis Institute of
			Science" demo installation, exactly as you see it at
			<http://cdsware.cern.ch:8000/>.

			$ make load-demo-records ## optional

			Optionally, load some demo records to be able to test
			indexing and searching of your local CDS Invenio demo
			installation.

			$ make test ## optional

			Optionally, you can run the unit test suite to verify the
			unit behaviour of your local CDS Invenio installation. Note
			that this command should be run only after you have
			installed the whole system via `make install'.

			$ make regression-test ## optional

			Optionally, you can run the full regression test suite to
			verify the functional behaviour of your local CDS Invenio
			installation. Note that this command requires to have
			created the demo site and loaded the demo records. Note
			also that running the regression test suite may alter the
			database content with junk data, so that rebuilding the
			demo site is strongly recommended afterwards.

			$ make remove-demo-records ## optional

			Optionally, remove the demo records loaded in the previous
			step, but keeping otherwise the demo collection, submission,
			format, and other configurations that you may reuse and
			modify for your own production purposes.

			$ make drop-demo-site ## optional

			Optionally, drop also all the demo configuration so that
			you'll end up with a completely blank CDS Invenio system for
			your own production purposes.

			$ firefox http://webserver.domain.com/admin/ ## optional

			Optionally, do further runtime configurations of CDS
			Invenio, like definition of data collections, document
			types, document formats, word file tables, etc.

			This configuration step is optional but you will most
			probably want to define specific data collections suited to
			your setup, or to configure submit pages for fill your
			collections, to define new output formats, etc.

			This configuration step uses MySQL configuration tables and
			can be done anytime during the production of your system.

			Good luck, and thanks for choosing CDS Invenio.
