Installation

There is dockerized version of the installation at https://github.com/icaruseu/momca-docker. Please check first, if this fits to your use case.

Setup Your Linux Environment

Older versions worked with Java version 6 only. We upgraded to eXist 4 - und did not update the following description completly, as for the docker version above.

Linux

Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable, e.g. on Ubuntu mostly with:

export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/default-java"

Install git and ant on your machine:

sudo apt-get install ant

sudo apt-get install git

On a production server, open a suoder terminal (assuming that the name of the sudoer is 'exist'), e.g. with:

sudo -u exist -i

Windows

The system has never been installed on a Windows machine, so do not expect the following to work! But would be glad to hear if you were able to run it!

1. Download and install GitHub for Windows.

2. Download and install Java JDK 6 for Windows.

3. Download and install Ant for Windows. The WinAnt installer will ask you for a Java JDK. Specify the path where you have installed the Java JDK 6 in step 2, e.g., C:\glassfish3\jdk.

Checkout the XRX Source Code

Checkout the actual source code from the git repository into a directory called mom.XRX with the following command:

git clone https://github.com/icaruseu/mom-ca.git mom.XRX

Configure the XRX Server

Move into the created directory mom.XRX. Here you can find a configuration file called build.properties.xml for server and project configuration.

Install the XRX Server

Install the XRX environment by calling the following ant task:

ant install

Start and Stop the XRX Server

Start the server with:

ant start

Restart the server with:

ant restart

Stop the server with:

ant stop

Initial (admin) user

ant init-user

Deploy Index configuration

ant deploy-exist-xconf Use exide to reindex the DB: xmldb:reindex("/db")

After starting the server, the MOM-CA homepage is reachable under http://localhost:8181 (assuming that you configured port 8181 in build.properties.xml and installed the platform on a localhost).

The eXist administration tools are available under http://localhost:8181/apps/dashboard/.
