scholarspace-sufia7

A nearly-vanilla sufia7 app with the potential to be built out as GW ScholarSpace 2.0

Install prerequisites

• Install RVM (follow instructions at rvm.io), then source .bashrc (or log out and log back in)

• Install Ruby:

  rvm install ruby-2.3

• Install rails

• (if this fails you can install from the steps at https://rvm.io/rvm/install)

  gem install rails -v 4.2.6

• Install Java 8 (use below or follow directions in scholarspace repo)

  % sudo apt-add-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
  % sudo apt-get update
  % sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
  % sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default

• Install apt packages

  sudo apt-get install imagemagick libreoffice git redis-server unzip

• Install fits-0.8.5 (follow directions in scholarspace repo, be sure to change version number to 0.8.5)

• Clone this repo

  cd /opt
  sudo mkdir scholarspace
  sudo chown MYUSER:MYGROUP scholarspace
  cd scholarspace
  git clone https://github.com/gwu-libraries/scholarspace-sufia7.git

  Make sure that config.fits_path in config/initializers/sufia.rb is set consistent with where you installed fits. If not, update it.

• Install gems

  cd scholarspace-sufia7
  bundle install

• If you don't have a separate Solr and Fedora, use the packaged hydra-jetty (you may want to run these with nohup and/or in the background):

  mkdir tmp
  solr_wrapper -d solr/config/ --collection_name hydra-development

  You can check to see if Solr is started by going to port 8983 on your server.

  fcrepo_wrapper -p 8984
  OR
  nohup fcrepo_wrapper -p 8984 &

  You can check to see if Fedora is started by going to port 8984 on your server.

• Start the rails server

  For development purposes, you can run using rails s (shortcut for rails server):

  rails s -b 0.0.0.0
  OR
  nohup rails s -b 0.0.0.0 &

  The app will run on port 3000. (To run on a different port, specify with the -p option.)

  If you get an error about a pending migration follow the suggested solution:

  bin/rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=development
