David Tarrant has built a Debian/Ubuntu package for Eprints.
Contents
APT Mirrors
Add one of the following mirrors (2 lines) to your /etc/apt/sources.list file as the root user. Please ensure that there is only one set in the file or you may not experience the correct behaviour.
EPrints Latest
To install the testing build add *one* the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:
Stable Builds
deb http://deb.eprints.org/ stable/ deb-src http://deb.eprints.org/ source/
Testing Builds
deb http://deb.eprints.org/ unstable/ deb-src http://deb.eprints.org/ source/
Nightly Build
Rather than the above add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list (note that this code is in developement and will not neccessarily compile):
deb http://deb.eprints.org/ nightly/ deb-src http://deb.eprints.org/ source/
EPrints 3.X (Specific Version Locking)
Stable Release
Add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://deb.eprints.org/3.X/ stable/ deb-src http://deb.eprints.org/3.X/ source/
Unstable Release
To install the latest unstable release add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://deb.eprints.org/3.X/ unstable/ deb-src http://deb.eprints.org/3.X/ source/
Nightly Build
To install the nightly build add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://deb.eprints.org/3.X/ nightly/ deb-src http://deb.eprints.org/3.X/ source/
Installing Eprints via apt-get
To install Eprints and all its dependencies execute the following (as root):
apt-get update apt-get install eprints
Setting up a Repository
You should now have a working installation of eprints in /usr/share/eprints3/. Please follow the on-screen instructions to set up an eprints repository. You probably want to start with (as root):
For more information about setting up an EPrints repository take a look at Getting Started with EPrints 3
Read First: Known issues with the Debian/Ubuntu package can be found at Debian Known Issues.
su eprints cd ./bin/epadmin create logout a2ensite eprints3 apache2ctl restart
If you have any problems getting set up you can get free help and support from the EP-Tech mailing list. For free support and discussion about EPrints you can sign up to EP-Tech.
Getting and Compiling from Source (not required)
To install dependencies and retrieve the Eprints source execute the following:
apt-get update apt-get build-dep eprints apt-get source eprints
The source will be saved to a tarball in the current directory.
Issues with Ubuntu 13/14 (Apache 2.3/2.4)
Apache 2.3+ and PERL v5.16+ introduce a few changes which break EPrints.
Current patches on github are:

- https://github.com/eprints/eprints/issues/237 [ NameVirtualHost deprecated ]
