DiscoverEd Quickstart

How to install DiscoverEd

1. Run these commands to download a quickstart script.

cd /tmp/ # As good a place as any
wget http://gitorious.org/discovered/repo/blobs/raw/deploy_script/gimme-discovered

2. Edit the script and change MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD to the right thing.

3. Run this command to execute the script.

bash gimme-discovered

What does the script do?

This will do a few things:

• Install the DiscoverEd code in /var/lib/discovered/
• Add a sample curator, and a sample feed
• Download the web pages linked to by that feed
• Run a test search for the term "crime", and print the results to your terminal

The above steps are performed by DiscoverEd. Next, we install a copy of the excellent web server Tomcat, which will allow to you perform searches through your web browser. So the script will do a few more things:

• Install a copy of the excellent web server Tomcat in the same place
• Run that copy of Tomcat
• Open the search engine in Firefox

Or do it manually

See DiscoverEd/Install manually.
