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.

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.
