Preparations
We will be using a virtual machine environment for the workshop.
NOTE: The VM uses 2GB of RAM, so you will need a laptop with at least 4GB of RAM to run it. Depending on your laptop manufacturer, you may also need to enable virtualization in the BIOS.
- Download and install VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
- Download and install Vagrant: http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html
- Download and unzip the 4.7.3 release of the Fedora 4 VM: https://github.com/fcrepo4-exts/fcrepo4-vagrant/archive/fcrepo4-vagrant-4.7.3.zip
- Using a Command Line Interface, navigate to the VM directory from step 3 and run the command: vagrant up
- Note that this step will take a while as the VM downloads and installs a full virtual environment
- Test the VM by opening your web browser and navigating to: http://localhost:8080/fcrepo
- The administrator username/password is fedoraAdmin/secret3
- Turn off the VM by running the command: vagrant halt
