[[Category:Installation]]

==Requirements==

* RedHat Enterprise/CentOS 5.5 (earlier versions may work)

==Installing==

Add the rpm.eprints.org repository key:

rpm -ivh http://rpm.eprints.org/rpm-eprints-org-key-1-1.noarch.rpm

... the rpm.eprints.org EPrints repository:

rpm -ivh http://rpm.eprints.org/eprints/noarch/rpm-eprints-org-1-1.noarch.rpm

... on '''RHEL 5.x only''' the rpm.eprints.org RHEL updates repository:

rpm -ivh http://rpm.eprints.org/RHEL/5Server/noarch/rpm-eprints-org-RHEL-5-1.noarch.rpm

... on '''RHEL 6.x only''' install antiword if installing EPrints 3.2.x or earlier:

rpm -ivh http://rpm.eprints.org/RHEL/5/i386/antiword-0.37-1.i386.rpm
# or for 64 bit:
rpm -ivh http://rpm.eprints.org/RHEL/5/x86_64/antiword-0.37-1.x86_64.rpm

Upgrade your XML libraries:

yum upgrade libxml2 libxslt perl-XML-LibXML perl-XML-LibXSLT

Install EPrints 3:

yum install eprints3 # 3.2.x
yum install eprints # 3.3.x and later

===Other sources for dependencies===

The following RPM repositories may be useful for finding other dependencies required by EPrints that aren't part of the core RHEL system.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL - Fedora Extras for RHEL.

http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/ - RPMforge, which covers a very large range of Perl modules plus others.

[http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php ImageMagick] provide an RPM for RHEL/CentOS 5. At time of writing the RPM requires fftw3, fltk, jasper and openexr which are available from ''RPMForge''. libwebp is available from [http://rpm.eprints.org/RHEL/5/ rpm.eprints.org].

==SELinux==

If you're using SELinux on your server you will need to give Apache read/write access to the documents directory for all repositories you create:

chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_script_rw_t /opt/eprints3/archives/[repoid]/documents/

==Getting Started==

[[Getting Started with EPrints 3]]

==Notes==
When installing EPrints on RHEL6 (may apply to other versions), If you get the error:
Failed to parse XML file:
/usr/share/eprints/lib/lang/en/phrases/system.xml: Entity: line 396: parser error : Entity 'nbsp' not defined age or title page. If there are more...

Run
sed -i 's/'''&'''nbsp;/ /g' /usr/share/eprints/lib/lang/en/phrases/system.xml

then navigate to the root of your EPrints install (/opt/eprints or /usr/share/eprints) and run
bin/generate_views *repository_id*
bin/epadmin reload *repository_id*
