Installing EPrints 3.3.x from Source
N.B. Installing from source is generally discouraged particularly for production repositories. However, if want to develop the EPrints code or a plugin or Bazaar package it may be useful to install from source, ideally from EPrints Core Git repository.

Getting Started
See Getting Started with EPrints 3.
Troubleshooting
Issues with Ubuntu 14.04 (Apache 2.3/2.4)
Apache 2.3+ and PERL v5.16+ introduce a few changes which break EPrints.

Current patches on github are:
- See last comment on https://github.com/eprints/eprints/issues/214 [ use of remote_ip ]
- https://github.com/eprints/eprints/issues/237 [ NameVirtualHost deprecated ]
- https://github.com/eprints/eprints/issues/236 [ Order allow,deny deprecated ]
- https://github.com/eprints/eprints/commit/157db0d27d423d38f9c0fc31ce47e519cd861d45 [ utf8::decode and URI parameters ]
