DiscoverEd Quickstart

How to install DiscoverEd
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 bash gimme-discovered
The script will check for dependencies.
What does the script do?
- 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 use the search engine without using a web browser. To make it all work in your web browser, the script will then do the following:
- Install a copy of the excellent web server Tomcat in the same place
- Run that copy of Tomcat
- Open the search engine in Firefox
What you should expect to see
This is a development branch. What you'll see is a search engine that says "DiscoverEd", but which is colored and laid-out incorrectly. The text of the results won't display. (We're working on it.)
