I, Librarian 3 Instructions Contents: ### Automated installation using installers ### ### Windows manual installation ### ### Linux manual installation ### ### Mac OS X manual installation ### ### First use ### ### Uninstallation ### ### Automated installation using installers ### You can download and execute installers for Windows Vista, 7, and 8 plus a DEB package and a console installer for Ubuntu, Debian, and its derivatives. An installer for Mac OS X is not available. These installers will install and/or configure Apache and PHP for you. If you don't want that, follow the instructions below to install manually. ### Windows manual installation ### Before you start, uninstall Microsoft IIS, close Skype or any other software using port 80. Install Apache 2.4 and PHP 5.5 using a Windows installer like WAMPServer or ZendServer. Edit Apache configuration file (httpd.conf). Append this at the end using Notepad: Alias /librarian "C:\I, Librarian" <Directory "C:\I, Librarian"> AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 <IfModule mod_php5.c> php_value upload_max_filesize 400M php_value post_max_size 800M </IfModule> </Directory> <Directory "C:\I, Librarian\library"> Order allow,deny </Directory> You may change "C:\I, Librarian" to any directory where you want to have I, Librarian, including an external drive. For a groupware use, you need to allow access to more IP numbers or domain names. Just add more Allow from directives (Allow from mydomain.net). Restart either Apache server or the computer. Unzip I, Librarian files into the directory defined by Alias in httpd.conf. ### Linux manual installation ### Linux users, if you did not use the DEB package, make sure you have installed these packages from repositories: apache2 (may also be named httpd) - a web server (you may run I, Librarian with a different web server) php5 (may also be called php) - I, Librarian is written in PHP5 php5-sqlite (may also be named php-pdo) - SQLite database for PHP5 php5-gd (may also be named php-gd) -GD library for PHP5 poppler-utils -required for PDF indexing and for the built-in PDF viewer tesseract-ocr - required for OCR ghostscript - required for the built-in PDF viewer pdftk - required for PDF bookmarks, attachments and watermarking If you are installing from the tar.gz, login as root or use sudo, and extract files into "librarian" directory in your web sever root directory. Example: tar zxf I,-Librarian-*.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/librarian Change the owner of the library subfolder to Apache. Example: chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/librarian/library chown root:root /var/www/html/librarian/library/.htaccess Insert a safe setting like this example into your Apache configuration file: <Directory "/var/www/html/librarian"> AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 <IfModule mod_php5.c> php_value upload_max_filesize 400M php_value post_max_size 800M </IfModule> </Directory> <Directory "/var/www/html/librarian/library"> Order allow,deny </Directory> To enable access from the Network, you need to allow access to more IP numbers or domain names. Just add more Allow from directives (Allow from mydomain.net). Restart Apache or the computer. ### Mac OS X manual installation ### Download and install an Apache + PHP stack. These instructions are generic. Details may very depending on which PHP stack are you using. Edit httpd.conf using TextEdit: Alias /librarian /Users/yourusername/Sites/librarian <Directory /Users/Yourusername/Sites/librarian> AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 <IfModule mod_php5.c> php_value upload_max_filesize 400M php_value post_max_size 800M </IfModule> </Directory> <Directory /Users/Yourusername/Sites/librarian/library> Order allow,deny </Directory> Don't forget to change "yourusername" to your actual user name. You can find out your user name by typing whoami in Terminal. Restart Apache. Download and install Pdftk and Tesseract OCR. Download I, Librarian for Mac OS X and double-click the file to extract its contents. Rename the extracted directory to "librarian" and move it to your Sites folder.

Open your web browser and go to http://127.0.0.1/librarian. ### First use ### In order to start I, Librarian, open your web browser, and visit: http://127.0.0.1/librarian Replace 127.0.0.1 with your static IP, or qualified server domain name, if you have either one.
