RecordManager

RecordManager is a metadata record management system intended to be used in conjunction with VuFind. It can also be used as an OAI-PMH repository and a generic metadata management utility.

See the RecordManager wiki for more information and OAI-PMH provider setup.

For a stable version, see the stable branch.

Installation notes on CentOS 7

These are quick instructions on how to set up RecordManager. Please refer to the wiki pages for more information on the configuration and setup of RecordManager.

• Required PHP packages: php php-pear php-xml php-xsl php-devel php-mbstring php-intl

  yum install php php-pear php-xml php-devel php-mbstring php-intl
  

• Required PHP packages for polygon simplification in NominatimGeocoder (optional):

  yum install geos geos-php
  

  With PHP 7 a recent version from https://git.osgeo.org/gogs/geos/php-geos may be required, and it will require yum install geos-devel to compile.

• Required pecl modules: mongodb

  E.g. remi repos include a package for mongodb:

  yum install php70-php-pecl-mongodb
  

  Webtatic too:

  yum install php70w-pecl-mongodb
  

  If there's no package available, use pecl to install mongodb:

  yum install gcc make
  pecl install mongodb
  

  Either way, make sure it's at least v1.2.0. Earlier versions have problems with pcntl.

• Add the extension=mongodb.so line to /etc/php.d/mongodb.ini

• Install MongoDB from 10gen repositories (see http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/CentOS+and+Fedora+Packages)

• Adjust MongoDB settings as needed

• Copy RecordManager to /usr/local/RecordManager/

• Run composer install to install PHP dependencies

• Create indexes with dbscripts/mongo.js

  mongo recman dbscripts/mongo.js
  

• Copy conf/recordmanager.ini.sample to conf/recordmanager.ini and modify the settings to suit your needs.

• Copy conf/datasources.ini.sample to conf/datasources.ini and modify the settings to suit your needs.

• Start using the system by executing e.g.

  php harvest.php --source=datasource_id
  

  or

  php import.php --file=filename --source=datasource_id
  

• Deduplicate harvested records:

  php manage.php --func=deduplicate
  

• Update Solr index:

  php manage.php --func=updatesolr
