==Creating the Archive== ==== Make sure the database is actually running ==== <p>MySQL:</p> <code>sudo systemctl status mysql</code> <p>MariaDB:</p> <code>sudo systemctl status mariadb</code> <br/> ==== Change to your "eprints" user ==== <code>su eprints</code> <br/> ==== Change directory to the eprints directory ==== <i>(<tt>/opt/eprints3</tt> by default)</i><br/> <code>cd /opt/eprints3</code> <br/> ==== Create a research publications archive ==== <p>(You will be prompted to answer various questions about the configuration of your archive):</p> <code>bin/epadmin create pub</code> ===== <i>Note on Archive Flavour</i> ===== <i>If you don't want a research publications archive, in the above command use <code>zero</code> instead of <code>pub</code>. This will create a very basic repository, which can either store very generic items or can be more greatly customised as it does not have some of the intentional restrictions that come with a Research Publications repository. Other flavours of repository may be available but these will have to have be added their <tt>FLAVOUR_lib</tt> to the <tt>EPRINTS_PATH/flavours/</tt> directory. If you run just <code>bin/epadmin create</code> without a further parameter or one that is not recognised, the command should suggest what types (flavours) of repository archive are available.</i>
