smooth instructions for static image server #2

Open jronallo opened 6 years ago

jronallo commented 6 years ago

Feedback: I remember you saying that we would not need to download an image server, but rather use a Static one. I tried following these instructions: http://ronallo.com/iiif-workshop/image/image-server-static.html ... I could not initially get starfish.zip to expand using the file browser (got what seemed to be a permissions-like error: "could not create a folder"). I used a different tool and was able to expand all the folders but not the images. The given terminal command tree starfish is not usually what I use to unzip a file, and I got a "command not found" error when I ran it. When I try using "unzip" I get the following error for a lot of items: "checkdir error: starfish/full/94,125 exists but is not directory unable to process starfish/full/94,125/0/."

@sdellis I've made some changes so hopefully this should work now. I think part of the issue was that the zip file included symlinks that were broken. I've duplicated files rather than deal with symlinks.

The tree command isn't to unzip, but to see the directory structure. I've added some more text to hopefully make this clearer.
