2. Check if previous version of IMiS/ARChive is installed by checking RPM database. If IMiS/ARChive has been installed, consult IMiS manual on how to UPGRADE IMiS/ARChive.

IMiS/ARChive installed...

[root@imisarc iarc]# rpm -qa | grep imisarc
imisarc-2.9.302.363
[root@imisarc iarc]#

IMiS/ARChive NOT installed...

[root@imisarc iarc]# rpm -qa | grep imisarc
[root@imisarc iarc]#

3. If you are preforming a first-time install, check if neccessary Linux services are running (highlited with RED). If you dont see those services in service list, consult Linux installation manuals on how to install PORTMAPPER service (RPC server) and HTTP WEB server (in our case APACHE).

4. Copy IMiS/ARChive setup package to the directory of your choice (usually /tmp) and install it.

[root@imisarc iarc]# cp imisarc-2.9.302-363.540.i386.rpm /tmp

[root@imisarc iarc]# cd /tmp

[root@imisarc tmp]# rpm -ivh imisarc-2.9.302-363.540.i386.rpm

5. RPM installer moved files to /iarc directory. /iarc is IMiS/ARChives home directory.

[root@imisarc tmp]# ls -l /iarc
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Mar 10 10:26 bin
drwxrwx--- 2 root root 4096 Nov 27 13:29 rcache

[root@imisarc tmp]#

6. You need to install IMiS/ARChive web administration module and configure IMiS/ARChive. Web admin module can be installed from /iarc/webadmin directory. There is a handy script available and distributed to preform this action. You may also install it by hand by coping /iarc/webadmin/html/iarc to your HTTP web server document root and /iarc/webadmin/cgi-bin/iarc to your HTTP web server cgi-bin root.

If you decide on the script, find out where your HTTP server document root is and where cgi-bin root is. These directories are usually /var/www/html and /var/www/cgi-bin.

[root@imisarc tmp]# cd /iarc/webadmin

[root@imisarc webadmin]# ./install.web.admin

IMiS/ARChive Web administration module installation. This installation script will guide you
trough web administration module installation steps.
