Here are the different operations you will need to do to install the software:

• install a dedicated server (preferably, but it is not required);
• configure Apache, PHP;
• download the software;
• create the PostgreSQL database;
• set up the software.

Installation in mono mode

If you want to install the application in a dedicated server, which will include both the database and the code of the application, you can use a script that will almost automatically perform all the necessary operations.

First, install a Linux server (tested with Debian 9, should work with Ubuntu 16 or 18) then, in the console, enter the following commands :

wget https://github.com/collec-science/collec-science/raw/master/install/deploy_new_instance.sh
sudo -s
./deploy_new_instance.sh

The script will install all the necessary packages, download the software and prepare the configuration.

Other installation

You want to move the database to a dedicated server, the application is hosted (or not) in a shared web server. You can enter this kind of script:

wget https://github.com/collec-science/collec-science/raw/master/install/deploy_new_instance.sh

By adapting the configuration to your situation. To set up database connections and the different strategies to apply, consult the complete documentation:
