In order to install WACS using the packages, you need to download a number of separate packages from sourceforge and have them available for your choosen package manager to find. Make sure you pick the right one for your Linux distribution. The list below details what these packages are:
Table 5.1. List of Packages
| Name | Req'd | Description |
|---|---|---|
| wacs | Yes | The "Master" package which includes the others |
| wacs-core | Yes | The core files and user interface apps |
| wacs-tools | Yes | The collection management tools |
| wacs-download | Opt | The tools used for automatic download from subscription sites - optional |
| wacs-hostauth | Yes | Tool used to authenticate users (will not be needed if you have the commercial CRM package) |
| wacs-samples | Yes | Some sample data files in XML format and perl API programming examples |
| wacs-doc-pdf | No | Documentation in PDF format |
| wacs-doc-html | No | Documentation in HTML format (both single and multi page) |
As you can see from the above list, you might wish to download
the core packages, plus the download tools, plus whichever format of
documentation you prefer to use. Unless you're already familiar with
WACS, we'd strongly recommend using the master wrapper package
(wacs) for the
installation as it does a number of configuration steps for you.
For the examples ahead, we'll assume
PDF is the prefered format - your mileage may vary.
