+ 5.10, see: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2309),
1.2 recent versions of CGI::Session have caused some issues for users;
as of this release date, we suggest downloading the CGI::Session::serialize::yaml
(note that you will want to run Zebra in daemon mode for a production
system)
9. Browse to http://servername:8080/ and answer the questions
+10. Optionally add a robots.txt file. See README.robots for details
OR if you want to install all dependencies from CPAN and are root, you can
replace steps 1-3 with "perl install-CPAN.pl" but this is non-standard and
make test
sudo make upgrade
+WHAT NEXT?
+
+1. Running the Web Installer allows you to install sample data for libraries, patrons, etc.
+ but you may want to install additional data such as bibliographic and authorities.
+
+ Once the installer has completed, you can import and index MARC records from the
+ command line thusly (Note: you can also use the 'Stage MARC records for import' from
+ the Tools area of Koha's Staff Client to import a batch of MARC records):
+
+ $ export KOHA_CONF=/usr/share/koha/etc/koha-conf.xml
+ (note: use the correct path to your koha-conf.xml)
+
+2. Import:
+ Bibliographic data in MARC21 format
+ $ misc/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl -file /path/to/marc.iso2709
+ Authority data in MARC21 format
+ $ misc/migration_tools/bulkauthimport.pl -file /path/to/auth.iso2709
+
+3. Fast Index:
+ $ misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -w
+
+ Once the indexing has completed, you will be able to search for records in your
+ system. NOTE: if you don't run the Fast Index utility, and you have the index
+ updates scheduled as per 7.3 the indexing process will happen in the background,
+ Once the indexing has completed, you will be able to search for records in your
+ system. NOTE: if you don't run the Fast Index utility, and you have the index
+ updates scheduled as per 7.3 the indexing process will happen in the background,
+ but it will be orders of magnitude slower.
+
+4. Schedule regular index updates
+ run rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z as a regular cron job, check misc/cronjobs/crontab.example
+ for usage examples
+
+5. To enable public Z39.50/SRU servers, you'll need to edit your koha-conf.xml and
+ change the <listen> options to listen on a TCP port; then restart the zebra daemon.
