This page is under development most of the instructions do not work yet

This article explains the various ways you can build a development environment for EPrints source contributions. If you have a method not listed here then please add it. Instructions assume familiarity with EPrints and the command line. You can use repositories built in this way to test contributions to EPrints source before pushing them to the git remote.

If you find bugs with any of these instructions please update them

Ubuntu 14.04

Take a clean ubuntu 14.04 build

sudo su
apt-get install git libtest-memory-cycle-perl
echo "deb http://deb.eprints.org/ nightly/
deb-src http://deb.eprints.org/ source/" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/eprints.nightly.list
apt-get update
apt-get build-dep eprints
ln -s /home/<yourusername>/eprints /usr/share/eprints3
echo "Include /usr/share/eprints3/cfg/apache.conf" > /etc/apache2/sites-available/eprints-git.conf
sudo a2ensite eprints-git

su <yourusername>
cd ~
git clone git@github.com:eprints/eprints.git


echo "package EPrints::SystemSettings;

\$EPrints::SystemSettings::conf =
{
        'base_path' => '/usr/share/eprints3',
        'version_id' => 'git',
        'version' => 'EPrints (development version)',
        'user' => '$USER',
        'group' => '$USER',
        'smtp_server' => 'smtp',
};

1;"

cd eprints
bin/generate_apacheconf

bin/epadmin create #create a repository in the normal manner remember your <archiveid>

sudo service apache2 restart

testdata/bin/import_test_data <archiveid>

bin/indexer

# wait for 5 minutes or so until the indexing is done

bin/epadmin unit_tests

CentOS /RHEL

User-space EPrints (when EPrints is already installed on the VM)
