Installing EPrints 3 via Redhat RPM

The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

Currently supported: RedHat Enterprise 4 32bit.

This also requires the DAG repository for some Perl dependencies.

Adding the EPrints Yum Repository

In /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources add:

### Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
yum dag http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/$ARCH/dag

### EPrints RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
yum eprints http://rpm.eprints.org/rhel4/

Import the DAG and EPrints distribution keys:

wget http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
rm RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

wget http://rpm.eprints.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-tdb01r
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-EPRINTS-2007
rm RPM-GPG-KEY-EPRINTS-2007

Dependencies

This will be redundant when there is a release EPrints 3, for now install dependencies and then use the release tarball

up2date perl-DBI perl-DBD-MySQL perl-Data-ShowTable \
perl-MIME-Lite perl-Unicode-String perl-Time-HiRes \
perl-XML-LibXML perl-XML-GDOME

Install EPrints 3

There isn't an RPM release of eprints3 available yet (in TODO for 3.01)

up2date eprints3

You can optionally install XML::GDOME using:

up2date perl-XML-GDOME

To switch to using GDOME modify /opt/eprints3/perl_lib/EPrints/SystemSettings.pm:

enable_libxml => 0
