* A simplified workflow removing features that are not required in the context of a teaching and learning resources repository
 
* Ability to create collections of resources
 
* Users can bookmark resources and collections

[[Category:EdShare]]
The following conventions apply in this recipie;
+
[[Category:Eprints3.2]]
* ''EPRINTS_ROOT'' - This is where you installed eprints. Usually this is ''/usr/share/eprints3'' on Debian/Ubuntu or ''/opt/eprints3'' following a source code install. Obviously change this if you installed EPrints elsewhere.
 
* ''ARCHIVEID'' - This is the id of the archive you set up that you want to carry out this recipie on.
 
 
 
==Getting Started==
 
 
 
===EPrints===
 
You will need to have installed at least EPrints 3.1 before continuing. See the following pages for reference on how to do this;
 
 
 
* Ubuntu/Debian [[Installing EPrints 3 via apt (Debian/Ubuntu)]]
 
* Other Linux [[Installation|Installing from source]]
 
 
 
===Plugins===
 
You will need to obtain the following plugins in order to complete this recipie;
 
* [[EdShareCore]]
 
* [[EdShareCollections]] ([[EdShareCollectionsInstallation]])
 
* [[EdShareToolbox]]
 
* [[MePrints]] ([[MePrintsInstall]])
 
* [[Sneep]]
 
* [[PreviewPlus]]
 
Additionally consult these pages for individual installation instructions for these plugins.
 
 
 
==Plugin Installation==
 
 
 
===EdShareCore===
 
Before starting ensure that you are logged in as the ''eprints'' user and in your ''EPRINTS_ROOT''. Usually you can do this by running;
 
 
 
sudo su eprints
 
cd
 
 
 
Next change into your archive directory and extract the edsharecore tarball there. The name of your tarball may be different depending on the version you downloaded;
 
 
 
cd archives/ARCHIVEID
 
tar -xzf edsharecore-x.tar.gz
 
 
 
Next you need to update your database structure, regenerate your views and regenerate your static pages;
 
 
 
EPRINTS_ROOT/bin/epadmin update_database_structure ARCHIVEID
 
EPRINTS_ROOT/bin/generate_views ARCHIVEID
 
EPRINTS_ROOT/bin/generate_static ARCHIVEID
 
 
 
Finally all you need to do is restart your web server to ensure that the settings are applied and you will now have EdShareCore installed.
