This module requires the following modules/libraries:
...
Clone
Download and unzip the fits tool which can be found at http://code.google.com/p/fits/ (you don't need the extras.zip just the latest version of fits-X.Y.Z.zip). Make sure to unzip it into found here. Make sure it is in a location where the apache user can get access. Navigate to the unpacked fits folder and add executable permissions to make sure fits.sh has executable permissions so the apache user can run the script. Clone this module into your drupal modules folder and enable it in drupal to activate automatic technical metadata extraction.
Navigate to http://yourhostname/#overlay=admin/islandora/tools/fits. Here you can specify the location of the fits script (on the file system) and the dsid you want to use for the technical metadata datastream.
Install as usual, see this for further information.
Set the path for fits.sh and create a name for the Technical metadata stream ID in Administration » Islandora » Islandora Utility Modules » FITS Tool (admin/islandora/tools/fits).The System path to fits processor must include "fits.sh", so it would look like: "/usr/share/fits-0.6.1/fits.sh" instead of "/usr/share/fits-0.6.1/".
If you run an ingest and you don't get any technical metadata, check to make sure the permissions on the fits folder and the fits.sh script are correct and the apache user can run the script.

Q: I ingested an object but I . Why didn't I get any technical metadata, what happenedmetatadata?
A: Its most likely you forgot to update . If you run an ingest and you don't get any technical metadata, check to make sure the permissions on the fits folder and the fits.sh script are correct and the apache user can run the script. If that is not the case, make sure your configuration points to the correct file.
Q. Why am I getting weird errors in the log?
A. Some images and audio files will cause problems during metadata extraction. These are not fatal errors, but appear to be formats the fits script can't understand. In these cases, you will get some error reporting in the technical metadata datastream that may help determine what happened.
